+Gocad Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 (edited) the only template that needs an update is the one for the fuselage because the panel lines are not in an extra layer like on the other two ( wings and tails ) and i realy dont like to redraw all the panel linesthe uvw map outline is in the fuselage template as layer1 Redrawing the panel lines was easy and didn't take long, but the problem with that 'layer1' is that it doesn't contain ALL UV map outlines, makes a repaint, especially when you don't want to stick to the basic paint scheme, a slight PITA.

+Gocad Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 UV map woes aside: The rest is up to your imagination... Quote
+Klavs81 Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 Panel lines are added, but I don't know what you guys are bellyaching about with the UV maps, they're all there. http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=7363 Quote
+Dave Posted October 2, 2008 Author Posted October 2, 2008 I thought of a couple ideas.....an F-35A in Greek Aegean Ghost scheme. Or one is IAF Desert camo.. Quote
WDH Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 Now that would fitting Dave and may I suggest a Chuck Yeager tribute skin maybe?Chuck Yeager might have been the Wrong Stuff for NASA but for a faithful follower,He's the Right Stuff this West Virginian!And no I don't play the banjo with barefeet and no teeth.I don't play the banjo!

Caveman Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 i think i will try a VF-111 skin.....yes i know this is not the navy version...but hey..... Quote
WDH Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 (edited) This is a replica of General Chuck Yeager's P-51 he flew 10-18-1944 to kill the 5 Me-109's over Bremen,Germany before he was shot down on his 8th mission.Had togo to General "Ike" tobe reinstated so he could revenge the german pilot that shot him down.

+Klavs81 Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 (edited) Um, you might want to check a couple of your facts there. Yeager never flew Bud Anderson's "Old Crow", among other things. And Chuck was flying Glamorous Glenn II (P-51D, RAF Dark Green topside, grey undersides, invasion stripes) on the day he got 5 kills. http://www.cebudanderson.com/357profliles.htm Edited October 2, 2008 by Klavs81 Quote
WDH Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 (edited) Well,I guess there always an error somewhere Huh?So I left the II off ok?My bad I not gonna post anymore cause of this.A little to sick from cancer anyhow to keeping getting kinda mess.Just wanted to enjoy what enjoy my passion with others and not be under the looking glass so to speak.This is a site for fun and tobe a enhancement for future flight sims.And by the way,My family grew up around the General and out of Chuck's mouth was where i got my info when i was 14yrs old,not off the internet,ok?

+Gocad Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 ...and here's some "fictional reality" for you: Quote
+Dave Posted October 2, 2008 Author Posted October 2, 2008 Looking good guys, Should I increase the dead line until Monday After US EST? I say that because of the improved templates that came out. Quote
+Spectre_USA Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 Yes! That will assist in that precious commodity, time! Quote
+Gocad Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 That would be fair...and it would give me the time to do the other skin I have been thinking about. Quote

+Dave Posted October 3, 2008 Author Posted October 3, 2008 You guys are going to make this a tough competition. Just the way I like it. Quote
TurtleHawk Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 You guys are turning out some great skins! Quote
pablo10692 Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 What a lot of nice skins! By the way, can someone tell me what is UV Map? Quote
i90807065 Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 What a lot of nice skins! By the way, can someone tell me what is UV Map? If im wrong please correct me but isnt the UV map the map that shows how the skin template(s) will be placed on the model? Sort of like a "link" between model and skin template(s)? Possible chain: Basic model > UV Map > Skin template(s) And these are indeed nice skins...hmm maybe I should try a Mobius 1 skin...nah ill leave that to kei (and it would take forever cuz I still havent finished the one for the Raptor) Quote
+EricJ Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 A lot easier to skin with wire mesh isn't it? (When working with camo) Most Definitely... Quote
+Gocad Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 Even their mother could not tell them apart. Well, there's no turning back now, the skin has been uploaded and awaits judgement... Quote
+Dave Posted October 3, 2008 Author Posted October 3, 2008 Ok the judging part next week. I need 3 views of it, Top, bottom and a side shot, 1024x768 or higher with as much of the plane in the shot as possible. The reason I am doing it this way is because its going to be a tough competition (from the looks of it already) and I want a level judging field so to speak. So no one can spice up their plane with a really good screen shot. This way all entries look the same and focus is on the skin. Am I making sense? You guys are all doing really great. Keep up the good work. Quote
