F-5E-3 Remaster Skins

[Skyshield]

Hi,

Anyone found out where the Dragchute is and how to get the dds file?

Wanted to change the colors of it.

What about the lua file? anyone knows the coding?
The old one where these.
 {"F-5E3_parachute", 0 ,"F-5e3_parachute",false};
 {"F-5E3_parachute_1", 0 ,"F-5e3_parachute",false};    
   

Cheers,

Sky

Nice ! There seem to be 2 different helmet models judging by the PSDs. Do you know what the argument is to put the normal HGU55 without the velcro on top?

I do not, but will try and find out.

4 new skins were just uploaded. They were intended to be used by me only, but I decided to share them anyway.
- 11419 is a F-5A bare metal (I love shiny skins)

- 2 USAF FA-xxx, one clean and another weathered (I love weathered skins)

- 1 USA where you can set any digit...

Thanks for these. 

It looks like youve left the wire mesh showing the right wing.  (GN-F-5-E3_Wing_Right)

I am pretty sure the F5E Top and Bot FP templates are a match for the 18 pilot. They seem to use the same pilot model. Helmet would likely work as well.
Got the CAF blue suits going now

Helmet is not a 100% match. Some elements are out of place if you compare all of them.

Gosh! Thanks. Didn't see that. And this mistake is on every version.

 

Corrected and updloaded right now.

Hi, I recently just bought the remastered F-5E. I am not sure if this was asked before but I can't seem to find the updated model on Model Viewer, I could just be blind but I cannot find it, I can only access the old model. Any one able to help direct me to the new model?

Thanks in advance!

ED has encrypted the 3d shape of this module, unfortunately the ModelViewer has not been updated to be able to load these encrypted files. i understand that all upcoming ED modules, like the Mig-29, will have this same encryption … that’s why I have not pre-purchased the Mig-29 in spite of it being one of my favorite aircraft

I see... will the ModelViewer ever be able to read it eventually? Cause I'm planning on creating some liveries and I rely on the ModelViewer to see if I have done it correctly

Maybe, but only ED knows when that will happen.

I'm null at creating liveries, so I depend on users like you sharing the liveries they create ... but I do like to edit training missions, but without the ModelViewer to inspect the arguments of the cockpit elements there is no way I can do this kind of missions for the new F-5 (which I foolishly purchased before knowing about its encryption), pity so now I'm instead making this type of mission for the T-45C User Mod.
