Anyone have the New Pilots and Helmet Template?

It was changed and not known until my textures didn't show up?

It really does, and the format for patches and ranks have changed too.

yep, also there is a a bug/feature in the patches file as well:

 

https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=4344104#post4344104

 

Yes they truly 'americanized' the flight suit. As a Canadian, the uniforms our pilots wear have slip on ranks much like the RAF. The old patches texture allowed for slip ons, but not the new one

 

Best I've managed to do was remove the ranks from the patches image file and paint them directly on the pilot's flight suit texture.

So i reckon i can get them to work for the RAF, because they are symmetrical

, horizontally and vertically, they just need to be in the right place, if they are not then you get the effect as per my bug post

Guys there are two helmet file in the Textures folder, one end with "_cat" I used that to align my new helmet logo and it works a treat. I just need to align this one slightly but you get the idea.

First Try at Hemet Skins

 

Using PorcoRoso86 's template, I was able to do this on my first try! Not a bad first go; a little colour mismatched and some minor geometry issues, but pretty happy with the results.

 

Thanks @PorcoRosso86 for doing the hard bits in making the templates!

 

Cheers

We finally figured it out and got it working.  This is what we used in the lau.  We removed all the old BORT text to fix our skin issue, and added new stuff in the "green".  Helmet stuff is bolded.

    {"pilot_F18_helmet_hmd", 1, "pilot_f18_helmet_hmd_nm",false};
