From pics this seems not always true. So I decided to not implement. If you like to divide among groups the serials this is the 5^ A.B. example in texture.ini editing. 154-6AER-55 [TextureSet] Name=154°Gruppo, 6^ Aerobrigata "freccia" Nation=Italy Squadron=154°Gruppo StartDefaultDate=1955 Specular=1.000000 Glossiness=0.500000 Reflection=0.600000 DecalNumberRandomize=TRUE DecalNumberBlockSize=40 DecalNumberStart=0 DecalNumberEnd=12 155-6AER-56 [TextureSet] Name=155°Gruppo, 6^ Aerobrigata "pante" Nation=Italy Squadron=155°Gruppo StartDefaultDate=//1956 Specular=1.000000 Glossiness=0.500000 Reflection=0.600000 DecalNumberRandomize=TRUE DecalNumberBlockSize=40 DecalNumberStart=13 DecalNumberEnd=30 156-6AER-56 [TextureSet] Name=156°Gruppo, 6^ Aerobrigata "lince" Nation=Italy Squadron=156°Gruppo StartDefaultDate=//1957 Specular=1.000000 Glossiness=0.500000 Reflection=0.600000 DecalNumberRandomize=TRUE DecalNumberBlockSize=40 DecalNumberStart=31 DecalNumberEnd=39 Enjoy! @paulopanz Submitter paulopanz Submitted 08/16/2014 Category F-84 Quote
slick cowboy Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 grande! much appreciated i guess what's missing now is Italian sabres, both silver and camo ones... Quote
Wrench Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 Slick, I guess you must have missed this one: http://combatace.com/files/file/13497-sf2-canadair-sabre-mk6-rcaf-and-ami/ albeit the AMI camo Quote
slick cowboy Posted September 21, 2014 Posted September 21, 2014 yeah i have it, although i think the AMI had Mk4's not Mk6's... i don't know what the difference was though were the camos actually the same as the canadian ones? but the AMI had silver sabres initially (don't know when exactly) i guess one could you re-use the same decals, but with black numbering and use a generic silver skin i can give it a try, but i just don't have the time at the moment Quote
Wrench Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 (edited) I'm pretty sure the 'euro' camo was the same; after all, weren't the Mk.4 & 6 built by Canadair?? <grin> The Mk.4 is an E equlivant, and the 6 more like the F I think (pretty sure) I did a 'blank' generic NM skin; just don't remember WHICH Sabre mod might have it! (after doing soooooooo many, even I forget sometimes!). I can find it, with a little effort, if you really need it. You could also reuse the AMI white decals on the silver skin * ; you simply repaint the R/G/B channels black. The Alpha, as it acts as a 'hold out matte', will allow the lettering to come through the correct (now black color, or any background color you wish!). 5 minutes worth of work! * forgot to mention, that you should move them to a new /D subfolder before painting them ... after all, they'd be for a whole new skin!!

Wrench Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 15 minutes work. skin works on both my Sabre 4 and Sabre 6 (but will be released for the 4, as these are refurbished Mk.4 for the AMI later in the week, I'll upload it 1 Quote
