Zaneboy Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 I found a simply way to get the AO file: - search for the original F-16 roughmet DDS-files - konvert these files to BMP (not sure this is required, but I do so) - now the red channel is the AO file! Its a high contrast black and white map (see below) Furthermore it is a bare file, without any markings, so it is an excellent AO template: [screenshot] Not sure this works anytime and for any aircraft, but for the F-16 it does. Now you just need to add the green layer (rough part of the F-16 template) and the blue layer (metall part of the F-16 template) and you finally get a proper roughmet file. Thank you for your instructions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zer07 Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Hi guys, can somebody tell me where I can find the grey elements on the nose? So far I couldn't find them. Are they in the template or am I blind? My Liveries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Santus Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Is there a way to assign separate textures for each 370 gal tanks? I remember doing that with skatezilla's F5e wingtip tanks mod. Is it possible for the F-16C? - Livery Catalog - Youtube channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zer07 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Yes, I use the dss file from another livery for the tanks. Where he found the template, I can't say. I think it's a pity that the tanks and mounting were not delivered with it. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/de/files/3308680/ The Livery My Liveries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tailhook Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 I want to load one texture on the left 370gal tank and a different texture to the right 370gal tank You would have to copy/paste the model and all the data for the 370 and add another to the database and aircraft. Tank_370 and Tank_370_2 for example. Intel i9-13900K : ASUS TUF RTX 4080 : 32GB G.Skill RipjawsV 4000 : TM HOTAS Warthog : HP Reverb G2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eight Ball Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 (edited) Were these areas left unpainted on the real aircraft? Usually yes, many have a "DO NOT PAINT" on them But apparently sometimes they just paint them anyway Edited May 12, 2020 by Eight Ball Find The Links To All My Mods And Liveries Here (in the gallery) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helles Belle Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Thanks Eight Ball :thumbup: Just what I wanted. I think l’ll use that first pic to change my stencils. Especially the different colour around the gun nozzle. Etc. Also, I put up some psd’s for the tanks & pylons. They’re far from perfect, but they might do for now. Let me know if there are any errors. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3309637/ Send lawyers, guns and money......... for the …. has hit the fan.

craignt Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Hello Everyone, I'm having difficulties with exporting the "Main_2_Template" PSD file to a DDS file. I'm using Photoshop with the Nvidia plug-in and applying the DXT5 ARGB 8 bpp / interpolated alpha settings. The resulting DDS file is very dark in comparison to the original PSD template as displayed in the Model Viewer. All of the other F-16C PSD templates seem to come through the export satisfactory except for F16_bl50_Main_2_Template.psd. The attached images display the original template, the export settings, the resulting DDS file, and the livery as seen in the Model Viewer. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Cheers! - CraigNT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
