Crusaders? (Planes and Skins)

[MAKO69]

Well either way....and the Phantom is the greatest fighter. :Stirpoticonwhichisn'tavailable:

In its day it was.

[MAKO69]

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.

 

Fix bayonets. Its go time.

Well, after 11 months of working hard on this skin I have managed to make some progress.

 

At that pace it will probably be ready for release in about six months or so.

(Note that I did not say "two weeks!"....after all, I try to make exact statements about upcoming releases...then again, some parts of this post should not be taken too serious...)

C-model skins? Some pre-Vietnam (read: 1960) skins okay?

 

[+Dave]

Gocad, you skin em and I'll download em.

[Bearwolf]

Awesome. I Love Last Gunfighter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

[+Gocad]

Ah...details, details, details

Coming up next: VF-62 Boomerangs (F-8C & F-8E versions)

[+Dave]

Gocad I really like that one.

[+Gocad]

Just out of curiosity...would it matter if the Modex numbers were not in a consecutive order (i.e. instead of 200, 201, 202 etc use something like 204, 207, 201...)?

 

EDIT: Added some random(?) pics for no reason...

Testing skin in SF2

 

Got to admit though that I still prefer the old folder structure.

[+Dave]

No you do not need to have them in order. I agree with you about the folder structure, I liked having all my skins and decal in one area but Im used to it now.

[+Gocad]

Needs a bit less green and more white.

 

Should be the last C model skin for now.

Anyway, Osprey Publishing recently released this:

 

...which prompted me to take another look at those Sundowner skins I started working over a year ago

needless to say, the same Osprey book convinced me to go back to the drawing board....

and while I am at it I might finish the Shamrocks skin I posted about as well.

Clearing out the paintshop...

Now I just need to find the strength to zip and upload them

...

Should be the last C model skin for now.

Hello Gocad!

 

Just stumbled across this thread - some of the Crusaders paints I've always hoped here have been featured here!! Bravo on a great job!

 

Two questions:

 

1) As I'm running SF2/WoV2/WoI2/WoE2, I'm assuming the paints would work best on this version of the MF Crusader? http://combatace.com...der-super-pack/

 

 

2) Was this VMF-321 scheme ever modelled - either for the OEM Crusader or the MF version?

 

 

 

It is likely one of the most striking (albeit shor-lived) schemes for Marine F-8s ... would love in the sim. If not available, no problem - this was not a request - just a query. I searched the downloads and didn't see it - but you folks are likely a lot smarter than me at finding the gems ....

 

Thanks,

 

DL

Ok, I downloaded and installed the F-8 skin packs, 1 and 2. But when I fly, the nose numbers and the danger intake markings aren't showing up? I see from pictures they should be there. Thoughts?

[+Wrench]

if they're decals, check the decals ini for proper pathways, and to make sure the decals actually exist in some folder or another

[Kyot54]

Yep, that was it, a little to copy and paste happy for my own good. What can I say, I'm a brilliant idiot :/
