+Gocad Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 If I could only get rid of that IRST....without deleting the entire cockpit interior. Quote
+Gocad Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 Hello, my name is Gocad and I'm a rivet counter with regard to decals and such... Quote
+Dave Posted October 19, 2008 Author Posted October 19, 2008 Hello, my name is Gocad and I'm a rivet counter with regard to decals and such... Well then you got a lot of catching up to do Sundowner then..... Quote
krgf15 Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 Where can I get those ZUNI pods for the F-8? I have looked everywhere!! Quote
+Gocad Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 (edited) Those Zuni pods are called LAU-33A and they even come with the stock WOV. Well then you got a lot of catching up to do Sundowner then..... Probably, but it seems I could tell him a few things about decal placement and fonts usage...also, the BuNo of that VMF-312 Crusader should be 0317. Edited October 19, 2008 by Gocad Quote
krgf15 Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 I have no Lau 33a, I have Lau 3A, but I am looking for the config file on the zuni dual. Quote

Probably, but it seems I could tell him a few things about decal placement and fonts usage...also, the BuNo of that VMF-312 Crusader should be 0317. Those are C5's decals. But If you think you can tell Sundowner how to do it, please be my guest. Quote
+Sundowner Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 Those Zuni pods are called LAU-33A and they even come with the stock WOV.

Tell me, I'm all ears, that was a wip pic I hadnt got round to the decals yet, but I'd be intrested to hear what font you would suggest, I spend ages messing with the horizontal/verticle scaling, the leading, tracking & kerning & sometimes they still dont look right so I end up making my own [which I find harder than skinning]. So if you already use an off the shelf font please fill me in......this is'nt a pissing contest. Quote
+Gocad Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 (edited) I know....and I wouldn't dare to start one anyway. EDIT: For a comparison between the fonts check the first post on the previous page. Edited October 19, 2008 by Gocad Quote

+Dave Posted October 20, 2008 Author Posted October 20, 2008 Hello, my name is Gocad and I'm a rivet counter with regard to decals and such... My Take on Rivet Counters..... Quote
column5 Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 My Take on Rivet Counters..... Well Dave its one thing count rivets and be anal about questionable details, its another thing entirely to make a skin completely from scratch. Thus has it been since 2002. Oh, and here is what I think about rivent counters: :stink: Quote
+Gocad Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 Well, I what I tried to say above was that although I wouldn't regret having made those modifications I still felt bad about doing it, since I do believe that in the end it's only up to the modder to decide what his creation will be like. Quote
+Gocad Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 That's probably the last skin I will be able to finish before real lifeTM kicks in and cuts down the time I can allocate to making those skins. Quote
Icarus999 Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 (edited) That's probably the last skin I will be able to finish before real lifeTM kicks in and cuts down the time I can allocate to making those skins. Truley a shame Gocad, you have made a great contribution to the sim and this site. Edited October 21, 2008 by Icarus999 Quote
+Gocad Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 Well, it's the last skin for now, but by no means my final skin. Nah. Quote
+starfighter2 Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 What about VF-84 F-8D skin? That will really make my day :yes: Quote
+Gocad Posted October 24, 2008 Posted October 24, 2008 I made a list today and came up with about 40 additional Crusader skins that ought to be done. VF-84 is somewhere in there, but for me it has a rather low priority. I rather do skins of less known units first....and not to mention that I might have a lot less time from now to do any kind of skin. Even repaints of existing skins tend to take away a few hours... I made this one a while ago already...it's nothing special, but I do believe that you can't have enough Dash One skins. Quote
+Dave Posted October 25, 2008 Author Posted October 25, 2008 Never was a fan of the Crusader. Looks like a stretched version of the Corsair. The Corsair came after the Crusader. And the Sader is one of greatest fighters of all time. Quote
+Dave Posted October 25, 2008 Author Posted October 25, 2008 Well either way....and the Phantom is the greatest fighter. :Stirpoticonwhichisn'tavailable: Notice I said the Sader was ONE of the greatest fighters. Quote
+Gocad Posted October 25, 2008 Posted October 25, 2008 Well either way....and the Phantom is the greatest fighter. :Stirpoticonwhichisn'tavailable: Whatever floats your boat... Quote
+76.IAP-Blackbird Posted October 25, 2008 Posted October 25, 2008 Still allive this thread is.... yoda out Quote
Icarus999 Posted October 25, 2008 Posted October 25, 2008 The phantom will always be my favorite but I have to give the crusader it's "props" it fully earned the nickname Mig Master, if you had to get into "knife range" dogfight in Vietnam the men who were there all say it was the best. Quote
+Gocad Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 ah....detaildetailsdetails. Anyway, time to make some skins for the new C version Quote
