Skins

[spikef22]

Has anyone messed around with if existing FC3 mig-29A skins are mostly backwards compatible. I know the paint kit is not out yet but more skins would be nice. :3

For sure not. New MiG is completely new 3D

lmao no
Its the same 3d model as the old one, just with a few minor changes.

The liveries are compatible, but you have to slightly edit them. I would know as I have already ported the old liveries and posted it,

only the nose and engines are majorly changed, and a piece on Ext01 has been moved to a more comfortable to use position.

Here I played with the old Migu template from ED so that it would go as well as possible with the new 3D model for creating skins or reworking them from FC3 to Fulkrum.

Interesting. The model is more accurate (externally), but that might just be an impression, as better bump mapping has been used and the impression is simply higher detail (as well as better quality, higher-resolution textures).

However, a template for the MiG-29A FF has been promised by ED for this October, and then things will be easier.
