+Corktip_14 Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 You maybe could try Refuel_door as the mesh name for the... refuel door lol. Take a look at the F-8E.out, it's where every meshes are named! Quote
+Gocad Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 (edited) Arrrgh, those decals drive me nuts. I don't know what's worse, their color or their positions... But I guess were it not for C5's templates I would have never got that far to bitch about them in the first place. EDIT: One more. I think the decal color is okay now, but I'll probably have to do some of the decals again. WIP or not, that's one good looking skin. Well, at least in my opinion. And yes, I'm well aware that the reserve VFP squadrons did not fly any fighter versions with such a color scheme. Lalalala, I'm not listening. Edited January 31, 2008 by Gocad Quote

I will post some screen shots tonight. Looking good gocad. Quote
+Gocad Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 I did the YAP RF-8G in thse colors. I will post some screen shots tonight. Looking good gocad. Thanks. Looking forward to these screens. No doubt they will look better than this: Well, at least the decal positions seem to be alright. Also, who came up with the design of VFP-206's tailcode? That design drives me crazy... Quote

Also, who came up with the design of VFP-206's tailcode? That design drives me crazy... Took me awhile to make them but I made them by hand. It was a pain in the ass for sure. Edit that was for the AF tail I am speaking off. The AF was hard to make. Quote
+Dave Posted January 31, 2008 Author Posted January 31, 2008 Dude you did awesome on this skin by the way. It is very nice. Quote
+Corktip_14 Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 Awesome skin you got there mate! The bird just look badass in Low-Viz!! Quote
+Gocad Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 Thanks. I'm still trying to get this scheme right and I guess that's still a long way to go. Anyone see any differences between these two? (It's not the missing rescue marking. I simply forgot to add that layer. D'oh!) Quote
+CrimsonRoamer Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 A VERY preliminary image needs quite a bit of work and cleaning up Quote
+Gocad Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 (edited) I finally figured out which colors I should use for the textures: Well, I guess that's it...for now. There are of course some details that could be improved, the TPS scheme isn't 100% correct, but for the time being it will have to do. I always wanted to have a Crusader with a low-viz paint job and here it is. Edited May 17, 2008 by Gocad Quote
+Dave Posted February 1, 2008 Author Posted February 1, 2008 It looks great. Really does. After sitting in the sun for days on in, it all look sfaded and incorrect. Don't worry about it. Quote
+Gocad Posted February 3, 2008 Posted February 3, 2008 (edited) Well, I found a decal set (actually just a high-rez image of it) that allowed me to create a proper tailcode for VFP-206. Edited May 17, 2008 by Gocad Quote
+Dave Posted February 3, 2008 Author Posted February 3, 2008 Hey Gocad why didnt you ask me for mine, I would of hooked you up. Quote
+Gocad Posted February 3, 2008 Posted February 3, 2008 Thanks for the offer, but the search for this decal provided me with some ideas for a few additional skins. :yes: Quote
bucklehead101 Posted February 6, 2008 Posted February 6, 2008 Gocad, Are you releasing the F-8 skin? I hope so. It looks great. -Bucklehead Quote
+Gocad Posted February 6, 2008 Posted February 6, 2008 (edited) I can do that, once it's finished. I need to repaint the markings first and I'm still not happy with the color of the intake section. Something else I'm currently working on: This is actually some sort of first draft. Unfortunately I'm still struggling getting the outer wing sections right. And a few other things I need to do again.... Btw, what is going with the attachment section? Why do I get this odd message "Attachment space used 9.15MB of 5MB"? Not to mention that I'm unable to upload pics here...? (Hence the use of Imageshack) Edited February 6, 2008 by Gocad Quote
+Gocad Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 (edited) So, I have made up my mind: I will try to succeed in making the following skins for the MF Crusader: - TPS and late 70s gray scheme for VFP-206 & VFP-306 - 'Fightertown' skin for VFP-63 F-8J Crusader (WIP; yes I know, the J-model isn't out yet, but I'm quite confident that the skin will fit) - skins for VF-13 & 62, VMF(AW) 251 & 451 That's all. Thank you for your attention. EDIT: I have uploaded the TPS skins for VFP-206 & VFP-306. Edited February 8, 2008 by Gocad Quote
payaso Posted February 8, 2008 Posted February 8, 2008 I'm trying to get the F-8D intstalled but when I run it, I get the following error: 'ce fichier dontient des donnees invalides.' Babelfish looks like something to the effect of 'the document contained invalid data'. has anyone seen this? If so, does anyone have any advice on getting it on? THX- Quote

THX- redo the download, you have a problem with the file. ++ Quote
payaso Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 Well, as noted above, a re-download of the f-8d file did the trick for the install. However, now I get thrown out of WOV whenever I try to launch it in single mission, MIG-CAP 1967. I tried MSConfig (running XP, btw) and disabling all non-MS stuff, same effect. So I downloaded DirectX updates, thinking that might do it- no dice. I try to begin the mission, no 'loading' screen, I just get thrown out and exited from WOV altogether. No failures in the app log, nothing. WXP, Intel Core2 2.33G, 4Gb RAM, Mobile Intel 945GM video chipset. Any ideas? Quote
