EricJ Posted Sunday at 09:25 PM Posted Sunday at 09:25 PM Had to delete the previous topic as I was confused at the number. Anyway here are progress pics of the jet. I need to know how to do the numbers and such for the bird, as I'm not familiar with that stuff, just know the basics of skinning (it's been a few years): 1 LOMAC Section| | Gaming Resume (PDF) | Gallery | Flanker2.51 Storage Site | Also known as Flanker562 back in the day...

SOLIDKREATE Posted Sunday at 10:24 PM Posted Sunday at 10:24 PM (edited) Go here: C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Bazar\Textures Copy the .zip file and extract it to wherever. Inside you'll see the .dds files for everything you need. The .lua file doesn't need to be touched unless***. As far as the numbers go, those are user input. Make sure they are the same size and position when you make your custom number .dds. *** A lot of times skinners miss the fact that the numbers show up darker of lighter that the Code Letters. So make sure you're using the same values for black, grey, red, ect. You may also notice the custom tail markings to the top left named 'f15_decol3'. If you are actually painting these on the plane, then set the vaule to 'false' for that file name in the .lua. !!! DO NOT USE REGULAR NOTE PAD !!! (YOU WILL CORRUPT THE SKIN FILE IF YOU DO) Use NotePad++ : https://notepad-plus-plus.org/ null Once you make your .lua or shall I say edit it, make a new folder here: C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Bazar\Liveries\F-15C Then drop all your.dds files you made and your lua inside it. Or alternatively back inside the default folder with the unique names you gave them and re-zip, then drop it back in the 'Bazar\Textures' folder. null Edited Sunday at 10:28 PM by SOLIDKREATE 1 AVIONICS: ASUS BTF TUF MB, INTEL i9 RAPTORLAKE 24 CORE, 48GB PATRIOT VIPER TUF, 16GB ASUS RTX 4070ti SUPER, ASUS TUF 1000w PSU CONTROL: LOGI X-56 RHINO HOTAS, LOGI PRO RUDDER PEDALS, LOGI G733 LIGHTSPEED MAIN BIRDS: F/A-18C, AJS37, MB339A, MIRAGE F1, Su-25A
EricJ Posted Sunday at 10:27 PM Author Posted Sunday at 10:27 PM Thanks, I just found what I was looking for after supper, so I should be good to go now with the decals and such. I thought it would be harder, but it's not that bad actually. Here's the one I'm shooting for: 1 LOMAC Section| | Gaming Resume (PDF) | Gallery | Flanker2.51 Storage Site | Also known as Flanker562 back in the day...

Yeah, meetoo Im glad you are a bit more active around here Eric. Maybe Dave can help a little. AFAICR USAFMTL-Dave (and old friend all of us: R.I.P.-LockOnFiles-Tom Weiss) made Eagle skins in huge quantities 10+ years ago included BT, SP, CR, etc. Edited 6 hours ago by NRG-Vampire
EricJ Posted 6 hours ago Author Posted 6 hours ago Well I'm not sure if Dave will come back, he seems pretty busy. As for more skins? I may, may not, depending on how I feel. I have some other skins in mind, so we'll see. Tom Weiss die? Or just Lockonfiles.com is no more?
