UH-1 Skins.

Model Viewer

 

Here's my problem: I usually work at home on a 23" screen with a 1980 x ... resolution. I always use my laptop so it is the same computer, just a bigger monitor at home.

 

Now, on the road, I have my laptop screen at 1366 x 768 resolution. Model Viewer works, but I cannot display the liveries dialog. So I cannot load anything other than the default army livery.

 

I've tried a lot of things to get the liveries dialog box to display, but failed. The liveries dialog is checked, but no window displayed. Does anyone know of a fix for this? Is there any other way to load liveries?

 

thanks in advance :cry:

In the Saved Games\edModelViewer\Config folder there's a file named

ModelViewer.cfg

 

You will see an entry like this

LiveriesDialog = { y = 319, x = 154, visible = true, w = 425, h = 440,}

 

y= left/right

x= up/down

w= width

h=height

 

Just make sure y and x entries are within the bounds of the screen res. Entries are in pixels

Hello Upuaut and Crashmo,

 

In first congratulation for your work, you are two great artists.

It's very hard to wait the final version of the CA FIRE...

 

Upuaut, I have other question for you. Please can you tell me if it's possible to download your three helipads because I found these scructures very beautiful and a real chalenge for the landing, no ?

 

A great thanks in advance for all and once again congratulation for you two !!!

 

Skull.

How do you guys even know this stuff?

 

The amount of information and knowledge I gain from forums of all kinds is internet paradise.

 

Like the saying goes: I have, in my pocket, a device which can access all knowledge known to man.

 

I use it to look at strange cat videos and argue with people. :D

Finished Cal Fire Skin

 

Well, a project of magnitude.

 

It could not have been finished this year if not for Upuaut. Many thanks to all who encouraged the work, I learned a lot about programs, .lua, and Photoshop on this run.

^^^^^^^

 

I would say that is more than a worthy project. :thumbup:

Hi c9smo,

 

just one little hint.

Don't use .bmp for saving your files, they are getting too big. Use .dds instead for saving, it also generates mipmaps.

If you use photoshop, search for "nvidia dds plugin". You can also find plugins for other paint software like gimp.

Is the lack of mipmaps what makes it looks so "clean"?

no, just removed a lot of "weathering" and partially "rivets" from the template. Using mipmaps should increase anti-aliasing... correct me if i'am wrong...

Somebody help plz..

 

I am making a PMC for flying DCS-Huey'z and would like the company logo on a skinned Huey but dont got the talent or skills as you guys, so i would like to hear if somebody would like to help... :helpsmilie:

 

Colors and creativity is all up to the skin-maker i only ask for the Logo is part of the heli-skin...

 

I have attached the logo...! The logo size and layout can also be altered by the skin-maker to fit..!!

 

Thanks in advance and sublime work on the skins..! :thumbup:

[Crashmo]

Sorry for my ignorance. What is a PMC?

[aussieboy]

Royal Australian Navy

 

Here's a shot of the RAN Huey I'm working on. The RAN only flew B/C model Huey's so this is a what if skin.

Sorry for my ignorance. What is a PMC?

 

It's a private military company it's an idea for a gaming clan..

[aussieboy]

the logo looks cool

Hi,

I have this design and just changed the colors a little bit. The colors can be easily changed to what you imagine.

I've had this waiting for something to throw on it.

 

 

 

 

I like Upuaut's better. But this helicopter has a better story.

 

In the 80s, when I was in my early 20s I worked at an FBO where we rented airplanes, did maintenance, flew charters, etc. This Huey flew in while I worked in the maintenance dept. They wanted a Night Sun spotlight mounted on their fuze. They had it with them and just needed tools and help, so we did it.

 

 

 

 

Years later I was working across the street at a different FBO. A girl came in and wanted to learn to fly. We started dating and when I met her father--it was him, the same guy we mounted the Night Sun for.

He was a pilot for the FBI. They had been flying some a mission which resulted in big bust on some ranch in California.

This helicopter had taken on many paint schemes, including one that was all black with the only marking being a playboy bunny on the tail.

At the time there was a major anti-porn initiative being driven by someone high in the administration, secretary of state--something like that. Anyhow, he was visiting high schools in San Francisco. They get the FBI to pick him up in a helicopter at SFO and fly him around to the high schools and land on the football fields so he can make his anti-porn lecture to the students. My girlfriend's dad was the pilot and they flew the bunny bird. :megalol: They flew around to the high schools and the muckie muck from DC never said a thing.:music_whistling:
