USAF Silver Skin for F-5E Tiger II

 

An update by Gerwin 26-12-2012..20-1-2013 v1.1

 

DESCRIPTION:

I was hoping someone would enhance the panel lines on

the F-5E skin. Fortunately Lanapa released

"F-5E Spanish SkinPack.rar" with the desired detail.

I converted this Skin to the USAF Silver pattern.

Next I adjusted and overpainted the whole thing to give

a more convincing natural metal look, with a little weathering.

 

v1.1: improved details on nose section and hook

 

INSTALLATION:

Copy the included folder with contents to the folder that contains

the F-5E files, for example:

WOE\Objects\Aircraft\F-5E

or:

My Documents\ThirdWire\Strike Fighters 2\Objects\Aircraft\F-5E

When in the game select the skin in the loadout screen.

 

NOTE:

Be sure to download and install my Damage Textures Pack released

on Combatace, which also contains detailed Damage textures for the

F-5E.

Hi gerwin, thanks for credits!!

 

I used Boz´s templates, and there are some lines that are more visible than others

 

In order to improve lines, you can try (at least in photoshop):

 

In "panel" layer

 

turn colour to black (overlaying colour or using levels) and then, duplicate this layer for four or five times, finally merge all layers, you will see that lines are more visible.

Ah, I missed out on that template package somehow. Thanks for the heads up. So I really should add Boz to the credits. I noticed you added several details in you spanish skin pack. Boz skin being black lines on a white texture. But having layers his template would have made work easier, in hindsight.

 

Understand the photoshop trick you suggest. Thanks. Yet, The panel lines are fine now in my opinion. I actually reduced the darkness of the panel lines, it seems to match real life photos better.

Trivia: There is a bug in SF2 when using DirectX 9 mode. Each plane seems to have one or two parts that disobey the settings for Specular/Glossiness/Reflection. In the screenshot the issue is visible in the outer wings, which should have more gloss. :(
