jocko417 Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 No template from ED yet so this is all quick and dirty right now, as well as WIP obviously. Just getting markings size and placement down. For the ED guys, what is the approximate scale of the model/textures, I'm guessing about 8 or 9 pixels to the inch? Stay tuned.... 1

NRG-Vampire Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 Nice Job ! Try to use less blue on the airframe. I mean ED made too bluish Bare Metal "silver/chrome?" skin. Use less blue, more gray.

One of my faves too :) Although the spinner is going to give me a heart attack... have to play with the curves nearer the tip, nothing's ever easy. RCAF style stenciling: Bunch more details to add... Nice Job ! Try to use less blue on the airframe. I mean ED made too bluish Bare Metal "silver/chrome?" skin. Use less blue, more gray. Thanks, I'm not really worrying too much about the liquid chrome effect because I don't know much about working with Specular layers yet. I know what you mean though, I plan to make 'em less airshow and more "operational" looking once the official template is released, right now it's just practice and getting to know where all the "bits" are mapped from. :)
jocko417 Posted May 2, 2012 Author Posted May 2, 2012 Another one in progress, 403 "City of Calgary" Sqn. Specular files used are the duller versions for camo skins, if I can find a happy medium between this and the "Terminator 2 Chrome" above I'll be happy :)

Buckram Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 Where are the main .DDS textures for the Mustang Body, I had a browse last night and couldn't find them, all I found was the Specular maps and cockpit textures.

dwpenney Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 Awesome! I love canuk skins! Fridge ---------- Things which do you no good in aviation: 1) Altitude above you; 2) Runway behind you; 3) Fuel in the truck; 4) The airspeed you don't have.
jocko417 Posted May 2, 2012 Author Posted May 2, 2012 Hi fellas, I plan to do a lot of RCAF Mustang skins, including some of the lesser known but just as colourful of the Auxilliary squadron schemes. I could put them out for DL as they are finished but I'd prefer to wait for the official template release so I can adjust the weathering layers as required. Working on custom Spec layers now. Some aircraft were bare metal, others were covered with aluminum laquer. Also planning to do some WW2 RCAF skins, namely 441 and 442 Squadrons, but the post war period (pre-jets) is a somewhat neglected period of RCAF history so I'm having fun with the Auxilliary paint schemes right now. :)
jocko417 Posted May 2, 2012 Author Posted May 2, 2012 Ok, made some headway in the Specular World ;) I've never worked with colour spec layers before, just greyscale ala MS FS9, etc. After some experimentation I think I've hit a good balance between Liquid Chrome and Matt Camo... Note reflectivity of front half of the airplane (rear and wings using a dull camo spec): Compare to the original shiny metal spec below: This will become easier once the template is released and I can make custom spec files using all the individual markings and weathering layers for each skin I make.

jocko417 Posted May 12, 2012 Author Posted May 12, 2012 Ok, first one is just about ready, thanks to DCS for the template. Mustang 9288 of No. 402 "City of Winnipeg" Squadron, RCAF (Auxiliary), early 1950s. Still adjusting the weathering layers and there's a couple of details I want to tweak before I post it. Tomorrow I start work on the Spec files and then she'll be done.
