+suhsjake Posted June 6, 2007 Posted June 6, 2007 (edited) Paul, Can you do a Decalized F11F-1 VF-33 and a VA-42 '61 Era skin for the A-1H. Its for a project. Jake Edited June 6, 2007 by suhsjake Quote
FOTF Posted June 6, 2007 Posted June 6, 2007 Yeah, I sure can.....can you post me some pics of the SkyRaider you need? Quote
+suhsjake Posted June 6, 2007 Posted June 6, 2007 I'll get one to you as soon as I can. By computer just took a dump. Quote
bigstone Posted June 6, 2007 Author Posted June 6, 2007 You tried my site yet? Yes, but the skins are for the A-4B and A-4F??? Quote
FOTF Posted June 6, 2007 Posted June 6, 2007 Doesn't take but a second to adapt them....the bitmaps are universal between the variations of A-4. So the A-4F have bmp files called "A-4F_Nose.bmp", etc....just copy the squadron directory over to the A-4C, change the name of the bitmaps to "A-4C_Nose.bmp" etc....and make sure the decal.ini reads A-4C rather than A-4F, and you are good to go. Doing a simple "Replace" function in the decal.ini will make that go real fast, just go "Edit>Replace" then type "A-4F" in the "Find What" field and "A-4C" in the "Replace With" field.... Let me know if you have troubles, and I can easily adapt it for you Quote

FOTF Posted June 7, 2007 Posted June 7, 2007 Give me some reference pics and I will see what I can do for ya Quote

Let me know if you have troubles, and I can easily adapt it for you OK I got the A-4F skin to work with the A-4C now VA-22 looks cool with proper tail code. Now I am trying the same with VA-72. Basically did the procedure you mentioned above since VA-72 is a A-4E squadron in WOV Rolling Thunder...I renamed the bmps and decals from A-4C to A-4E. The decals are present on the A-4E, but the rest of the plane is white, including the tires...I shall pm you my email address. Thank you Quote
FOTF Posted June 7, 2007 Posted June 7, 2007 Check out the way the skins are named in the default A-4E folders....the bitmaps are just named "A-4_Nose.bmp"....Don't put an E....... Quote
Blade Posted June 7, 2007 Posted June 7, 2007 Indeed, the A-4B, C and E use the same bitmaps. However some texture files of the A-4F (fuselage and tail) are slighty different. (Some parts had to be re-located because of the avionics hump.) Quote
