Mirage 2000TH

[+ghostrider883 526]

Skins are just about done. Getting the serial number decals to show up on the nose gear door is proving to be a major headache. Still working on it.

 

No.7 Sqdn "Battle Axes" Skins

 

Got the other two Indian AF Mirage 2000 sqdns - No.1 "Tigers" & No. 9 "Wolfpack"in the works as well

Many thanks to Florian for this most excellent addon & the Indian AF Blue camo skin which I used as base. .

Great job mate, I had the idea of doing it, but your work is way better than what I could have done

Ditto!

Thanks guys. I need help with this:

This of course is a single seater having srl no. KF140, the twin seaters have KTXXX series. In the pic you can see the srl no. painted on the nose gear door.

Now, I have made KTXXX series decals for the same. BUt I am having trouble getting them to show up on the nose gear door..;problem with the co-ordinates or mesh name.

...I feel your pain! I remember the first time I tried decalling a RAZBAM Intruder before I discovered the joys of reading an .OUT file. I think I spent days on it before I finally got lucky. Good luck Sir...

This is the only thing holding up release.

 

No.1 Sqdn

 

Blackbird,

Would you be releasing those drop tank textures in your screenie? Have you made similar one for the centerline tank as well?

[+76.IAP-Blackbird 3,557]

I would say "FMDoor" regarding to the OUT file

[+ghostrider883 526]

 

One of the experimental camos that was painted on single seat Mirage 2000H, adapted on a twin seater Mirage 2000.

I am done with the skins. Had no luck in getting the nose gear door decals to show up. Will be releasing them as it is.

The Frontgear Doors have the mesh names, FMDoor (Big door in back), FSDoor (Very front door, wich covers the support strut) and FLDoor / FRDoor wich are on the sides of the FSDoor.

 

An Decal entry should look like this:

 

[DecalXXX]

MeshName=FSDoor

DecalLevel=0

DecalFacing=BOTTOM <--Notice the decal is placed in closed (Frame "0") position!

FilenameFormat=Mirage2000TH/India/whatever/Nosegearnum

Position=0.0,3.058 <--Center of the wide part of "FSDoor"

Scale=0.35

DecalMaxLOD=3

[+Crusader 2,084]

That looks good Ghost!

 

[Mannie 21]

In one word? WOW!

> ghostrider: Are those Mirage 2000 the equivalent of our Mirage 2000-5/-9 or the equivalent of our Mirage 2000 D?

Thanks Florian. You are a life-saver

That did it. I need to make some minor adjustments in the decals for posting. Will post screenies soon.

As you may be knowing, the Indian AF was the first export customer for the Mirage 2000. An order for 42 single seat Mirage 2000H and 7 twin seat Mirage 2000THs was placed by the GOvt of India in 1984. The H model was the export model of the single seat Mirage 2000C & TH was the export model of Mirage 2000B. A further 10 aircraft( four Hs & six THs) were acquired in 2003. Its is high likely that the 2003 twin seater acquisition was of D model. All older aiframes were fitted with refuelling probes.

It has been proposed to upgrade IAF Mirage 2000s to 2000-9 standards.

Sorry guys. These skins are not going to see the light of the day. I lost all my stuff in a HD crash. I did the crime of not backing up my things on an external HD.....i lost my files, songs, movies, games, SF files(many of which are WIP)..... so many things which are impossible to replace.

[+Soulfreak 6,511]

Oh man Ghost, thats sad....

i had this experience last year...

How many HD crashes you had since..... it's "suspicious" a bit my friend :yes:

 

EDIT > back up your things at regular basis - or...

You can nearly always recover files from crashed HD so no problem, you need a recovery program

[+FLOGGER23 3,040]

Try easy recovery, it works for all our office needs, but back up emails, so far

Oh sh*t! That freakin' sucks dude. None of it is recoverable?
