E.E. Lightning

[+paulopanz 2,876]

The new 5/11 patch changed many things in skinning adding some new outstanding features, so with some WIP to remake I decided to start a new skinnnig job using new standards, these are first squadrons

 

F.1 74° Sq.

 

F.1 60° MU

 

F.1 AFDS

 

F.1A 56° Sq.

 

F.2A 92° Sq.

 

N.B. some squadron patches are from Spinners, little edited by me.

 

More to come.

nice work paulo

 

what did the patch change for skinning ???? and what are the new features ???? and will the skins still work on sf2 games that are not patched with the 5/11 patch

[+PureBlue 71]

Looking beautiful as usual Paul

Can you give a rundown on the new skin features? What else has improved other than the decal numbering mathematics and new bump maps.

Umut is right: new numbering and new bump maps.

If You extract a lightinig skin folder You can see better than I try to explain.

 

So texture.ini files need to be edited, but working on new jpg files is the new job for silver/colored planes.

 

No idea if this will work on previous patches or custom planes (but I think not).

 

I'm learnig and trying.

 

We will be in touch.

Tk made for us every type and version. So we have a plenty of models to paint ....

 

[+Coupi 4,388]

Just a little movie... because I like this aircraft...

Cool Paulo!

[+paulopanz 2,876]

After almost a day finally the F.1 big skin pack is pending for approval ...

 

The skins are ugraded with all decals except numbers on the skin as Carlo likes.

 

Here a preview.

 

 

 

As F.1s were in service on TTF squadrons since 1973 I changed data/userlists.ini.

 

Alex took me the 'real' RR Avon voice and a 74th Sq. loading screen was included.

 

As my work goes on with F.1A, I have to tank Tk for 5/11 patch new features.
