F-16XL Paint Scheme

[Texac]

This skin is based on the NASA F-16XL paint scheme from around the mid 1990's.

 

It's not supposed to represent the original paint scheme a 100% accurately. With this skin I'm aiming for a fleet or squadron aircraft in service.

So at this point I still plan to add a second version with tail codes so bort numbers, serial number, etc..

Once I finished that, the skin will be uploaded.

 

I edited the RoughMet's to give the white and gray colors on the bottom of the airframe their reflective properties. While the black paint goes with a more matte appearance.

 

Current progress so far:

Anybody got a bucket??

Just out of interest, how come you chose a Texas tailcode (Laughlin)?

I choose XL since it's the designation of the airframe represented. Nothing to do with Laughlin AFB, just a coincidence then that it matches up with an actual tailcode.

Skin file is now uploaded, download from the User Files. Both skins are included, XL Unmarked & XL Fighter Squadron.

 

First post updated.

Great job as always Texac!!:)

 

Thanks!

 

Updated today to include a few fixes and improvements.

 

Originally I planned to include new engine textures. Cockpit textures from watermanpc and landing gear textures from PorcoRosso86.

 

However the size of the file got too big so I had to scrap that for both skins. Maybe later I will upload both versions separately to include these textures.
