After a hard days travel it is nice to see something comforting... Very nice templates.

Looks like the outside skin is spread over two files?

[upuaut]

It's spread over four files.

 

I am working on some german Skins.

 

 

 

[Skulleader]

Hello,

 

WOW, Upuaut once again your repaints are wonderful and beautiful...

It's a real master piece, best regards. Skull

[Mad_Jack]

custom_args = 
{
[457] = 1.0, -- EVU off

}

First Draft, not too happy with the EVU colour, so I'll be tweaking a bit more.

The template camo, with only the colours changed to the darker green and nutria brown.

 

Did this one more to get the skin working properly.

 

custom_args = 
{
[457] = 0.0, -- EVU on

}

 

Edit: added args for description.lua

 

EDIT2: SAAF chopper skins, updated description.lua in compressed folder with comments on corresponding number positions.

Mad_Jack....that is a cool skin...I LIKE !! I WANT !

[Mad_Jack]

Thanks Midnight.

 

I'm working on some tweaks on it and will attach a download link to the first post when I'm done.

[skouras]

awesome....:D

[Mainstay]

Could someone make this exact skin ?

 

[Teknetinium]

Could someone make this exact skin ?

 

 

And fuel tanks plz :)

[Mainstay]

Off course the fuel tanks :)

Hello Mainstay,

 

Yes you have right, this repaint is awesome and so beautiful

 

Bye, Skull.

[Mainstay]

Maybe one day we can fly escort with the mi24 in the same livery.

 

A person can have dreams :)

 

[Mad_Jack]

Updated my first post (my sig also) with a download link for the SAAF skin (Noticed too late the clean version undercarriage still has dirt on it, will update if needed).

 

I did some trial and error on the dynamic numbers locations and will post the description.lua details later, also new screenshots of the final SAAF skin.

 

@Mainstay that Czech Mi-171 does look awesome.

 

Might attempt (Minimal photoshop skills) replicating it, but probably not before this weekend, haven't flown my Mi-8 since the template came out :cry:

 

Edit: Argh, fine I'm going to try it tonight... Found a perfect reference(some other good looking versions also) to get the camo blotches, colour values shouldn't be too much of an effort

At the moment I am working on this one.

Very nice jack !!! Eagerly awaiting your magic :)

[Skulleader]

Hello Upuaut,

 

WOW, once again it'a great and formidable work, congratulation !!!

Please can you tell us if your repaints of the Mi-8 are or will be available ?

 

I love these repaint:

 

 

Thanks in advance, Skull.

[Mad_Jack]

@Upuaut if you want to roll out the Czech one, no problem (Looks like you've got the skinning nailed down a bit better than me :thumbup:).

 

As stated I'm going to try it out and see what I can come up with.

Hope these aren't too vague, if so I'll put some screenshots up of their locations if thats easier.

Mad_Jack i tried the skin and got this,

Did I instal it incorrectly?

 

[joey45]

Looks like a spec layer error. Maybe wrong tho.... been wrong lately.

[Mad_Jack]

That is correct, I found that dropping the specM textures from one of the other liveries in the Temptextures folder fixes that.

 

EDIT:

-- if the model shows missing textures over the custom ones put the specM files found in the other liveries folders in the tempTextures folder also.
mi_8_tex_1_specM -> mi_8_tex_4_specM

 

Ah, sorry didn't realize that only the USA_AFG has those files.

Mi-8T in Bundeswehr service as a SAR (Search And Rescue) helicopter. The helicopters were mostly used by LTgrp (LuftTransportGruppe) Briest at the Baltic coast. The machine is now at display at Interessengemeinschaft Ju.52 in Springe

[Skulleader]

WOW Mainstay and Mad Jack I really love your repaints, great work !!!

Thanks for these sharing ...

 

Cibit, I don't know this repaint but if one it's available I take it with pleasure because with this helicopter all the repaints are beautiful...

There's few days on Ebay I've bought one book of the Mi-8 and it's crazy because the Mi-8 is anywhere in the world.

In begining when I read that BST that would create I say to myself: Why this helicopter ?

But after have bought and tested this helicopter I can say that it's an incredible addon and one great copter.

 

Congratulation for all the artists like you for the quality of your repaints, for your sharing and of course also to Belsimtek because I'm falling love of the Mi-8 !!!

 

Bye and good night, Skull.
