==Wiggy== Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Did this for a friend of mine. Can someone tell me how to enable the pilot helmet to the WWII cap? I've tried using the texture and model callout below but no joy....I'm clearly missing something! Also, can someone tell me how to get drop tanks? {"pilot_P51_helmet_b", 0 ,"pilot_P51_helmet_b",true}; Cheers, Rick CSEL\CMEL\IFR Certified Airplane Nut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHSubZero Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 (edited) Can someone tell me how to enable the pilot helmet to the WWII cap? I've tried using the texture and model callout below but no joy....I'm clearly missing something! This can be changed with the "id"-Parameter. Here an example of my liveries: ... {"pilot_P51_helmet_B", 0 ,"pilot_P51_helmet_b",false}; {"pilot_P51_head_B", 0 ,"pilot_p51_head_a",true}; -- pilot face color (head_a or head_b) } name = "Swiss J-901 Evaluation" --countries = {"SUI","USA"} id = 10 -- Tuskegee Airmen --id = 4 -- USAF Pilot with WWII helmet Edited April 4, 2020 by CHSubZero My Mods: DCS User Files Modules owned: EVERY Module :pilotfly: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
==Wiggy== Posted April 5, 2020 Author Share Posted April 5, 2020 thanks CH! Can you tell me more about the "id" parameter? How many are there? What numbers do what? Is there one to allow for external drop tanks in the mission editor? Cheers, Rick CSEL\CMEL\IFR Certified Airplane Nut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
==Wiggy== Posted April 5, 2020 Author Share Posted April 5, 2020 Reworked the bumps with subtle skin ripple. Reworked the metal. Cheers, Rick CSEL\CMEL\IFR Certified Airplane Nut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHSubZero Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 For me it's looking far better now. I'm not a fan of high polished skins and yours is looking now superb and well mixed. Will fit well to my ANG skin pack :D My Mods: DCS User Files Modules owned: EVERY Module :pilotfly: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
==Wiggy== Posted April 5, 2020 Author Share Posted April 5, 2020 Thank you good sir. Yes that's about the extent of the reflective for this one. It's pretty much complete. Cheers, Rick CSEL\CMEL\IFR Certified Airplane Nut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reflected Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Rick, great job, especially on the difference between the lacquered and bare metal parts on the wings. I'm not a fan of highly polished skins either, I think you nailed it. One thing maybe, overall it looks a tad too dark to me. What is the base color you used for aluminum? Try 245,246,246, which is the "official" albedo value acoording to several pbr sites. Facebook Instagram YouTube Discord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sport Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Beautiful Rick! Any chance you could clean up (get rid of) the soot from the guns? Such a shame to have such a beautiful and clean airplane with janky smoke lines on the wings... Come check me out on YouTube! Twitch!

==Wiggy== Posted April 5, 2020 Author Share Posted April 5, 2020 Copy Reflected/Sport. I was already leaning that way...I didn't remove 100% of the gun grime...about 25% remains. It now matches closely the the other weathering on the panel lines and rivets. Can tell it's in use but it's also not a completely washed down bird. I've also gone to a lighter base color. I didn't go quite to 245 peak brightness. I kept the peak at 220. Hopefully you all like it. I've also included a Khaki colored flight suit. Uploading now.

Sport Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Looks awesome Rick. I've always loved your skins, but this one really takes the cheese. I'm surprised this one doesn't exist as a warbird these days. Such a pretty scheme Come check me out on YouTube! Twitch!

reece146 Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Beautiful skin. This would look great as a civilian skin for the TF - remove the USAF markings and maybe make the red along the back go straight down the back and make the vertical stabilizer red as well. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
