The Mi-8TV2 Livery thread

[flanker1]

DGambo,

 

I plan on making a different patch for the pilot. Thanks for the help. It is very much appreciated.

 

Flanker,

 

It is going to the 'description' file in any of the mi-8mt folders located at

C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Bazar\Liveries\mi-8mt

 

You wont find that line in the script and will have to add it

 

{"mi_8_tex1", 0 ,"mi_8_tex_1_MERC_SAR",false};

{"mi_8_tex1", 2 ,"mi_8_tex_1_spec",true};

 

{"mi_8_tex2", 0 ,"mi_8_tex_2_MERC_SAR",false};

{"mi_8_tex2", 2 ,"mi_8_tex_2_spec",true};

 

{"mi_8_tex3", 0 ,"mi_8_tex_3_MERC_SAR",false};

{"mi_8_tex3", 2 ,"mi_8_tex_3_spec",true};

 

{"mi_8_tex4", 0 ,"mi_8_tex_4_MERC_SAR",false};

{"mi_8_tex4", 2 ,"mi_8_tex_4_spec",true};

 

{"pilot_MI8_body", 0 ,"pilot_uh1_black", false};

{"ZSH-7", 0, "pilot_uh1_helmet_black", false}; -- pilot helmet

-- {"pilot_MI8_patch", 0, "pilot_MI8_patch", false}; -- patch on flight suit

 

 

{"EVU", 0 , "evu_texture_MERC_SAR", false};

 

 

thank you very much!

 

i only want to remove the patch from the standard russian flight suite, so what i have t o do? do i only have to add/insert the following line???:

 

{"pilot_MI8_patch", 0, "empty", true};

Helmet Problem

 

Hi guys,

I am trying to add to Mi8 helmets from Huey, but with no succes. If I just modify in description.lua that line: {"ZSH-7", 0, "pilot_UH1_helmet_black", false}; -- pilot helmet, I will get orange helmets with missing textures. Then I found in uh1h livery this texture: pilot_uh1_helmet_b.bmp, I copy that into Mi8, and modify line ine description.lua to: {"ZSH-7", 0, "pilot_UH1_helmet_b", false}; -- pilot helmet. But result was very bad. There was texture, but, wrong texture (like on the photo). Can anybody help me with that?

[upuaut]

Hi,

 

you can not use the texture from the uh-1 helmet with mi-8 helmets, it is a different 3d-model.

[lukynoo92]

So, how can I have uh1 helmets in Mi8?

So, how can I have uh1 helmets in Mi8?

 

Open the zip file. It contains the pilot, patch and helmet textures.

UH1_pilot.zip

[lukynoo92]

Ok, this is textures. But those textures dont´t match to the 3D model of Mi8 helmet. They are different, so I must edit ZSH7 texture from white to green/black, or how can I use 3D model of the uh1 helmet in Mi8?

Edit: ho ho hooo, I realised big problem.

I thought, that I was doing mistake somewhere, but no, I did it correct. I looked your screenshots of "black uh1" helmets again, and I saw the same problem on your helmets. They are not "uh1" helmets. You used skins for uh1 helmets to the helmets of Mi8. You have luck, because your helmets are black and this mistake is nearly invisible, but it is still there. Look at your helmets, there are the same problems as on my screenshots ( look up on this page). Uff, so the solution is only edit original ZSH7 texture (photoshop) to the green/black texture, but it will be still only ZSH7 ;)

If anyone has the time or inclination, I'd love a Russian CSAR/SAR skin and I'm sure quite a few others would as well.

 

Something of this vein?

EVU

 

Thank you all for these nice skins, there is a problem thou with EVU thing, some of these skins have no paint for that. I know with earlier version of the game you could remove EVU by editing description.lua - but it doesn't work anymore. In mission editor there is that tick box yes, but it removes also pylons I think, so it isn't a solution. Anyone knows if description.lua thing is a bug and they're gonna fix it or is it intentional?

Hello guys,

 

I need your help to understand one thing with the template of Mi-8.

When I open my Template folder I can see 5 files:

 

evu_texture.psd

mi_8_tex_1.psd

mi_8_tex_2.psd

mi_8_tex_3.psd

mi_8_tex_4.psd

 

If I want open these files with Photoshop I can watch just these two files:

 

mi_8_tex_1.psd

mi_8_tex_3.psd

 

The other three files stay blank, is it normal ?

 

A great thanks in advance for your assistance, Skull.
