EricJ's Paint and Body Shop

And some more work this time in-sim.  Still needs some finishing touches but overall looks pretty good so far.

[+EricJ 3,942]

Happy New Year!

After some thought, figured the scheme would make a good Russian Aggressor jet, the (if I read it right) the 1st Squadron, 412th Airbase, East MD (linky here http://www.defencetalk.com/forums/air-force-aviation/russian-air-force-news-discussion-10781-7/:

And... that is it for this version, and going to do a USAF version next:

[+EricJ 3,942]

And the USAF version but the shark mouth isn't as extensive as the other one you can get via the "Aggressor" pack from ED, I chose to keep it more subtle and some decals jacked from the A-10C templates to start rounding out the nose area:

 

[+EricJ 3,942]

And fairly complete, though I'll probably resize the TAC badges to be slightly bigger and add the checkered tail too:

 

[+EricJ 3,942]

After knocking out some request work managed to tweak the tail a bit:

 

 

The checker is a bit high but overall I like how this one turned out.

For those who have downloaded the above, I noticed an issue with the "true" and "false" statements with the description.lua for these entries as they need to be set to true (as in below):

 

    {"su25t-gear-metal", 0, "SU39-PAINT7-USAFFT", true},
    {"Su-25t-gear-steel", 0, "SU39-PAINT7-USAFFT", true},
    {"Su-25t-gear-rubber", 0, "SU39-PAINT7-USAFFT", true},

I've had some personal issues come up which not bad, is distracting me from doing any kind of modding in general. So I'm just planning on riding out the change until I can refocus back, which more or less will be tomorrow or so. It's been a very interesting weekend so tomorrow I hope to get back to the European 1 Su-25.

[+EricJ 3,942]

And beginning work on the Su-25.  So far it's easier due to the general similarities between the 25T and the reg'lar Su-25.

[+EricJ 3,942]

Okay more work, and showing the difference in mapping as opposed to the -25T:

 

[+EricJ 3,942]

Okay more work on the tail area, adapting it for the specific frame as opposed to the -25T:

 

[+EricJ 3,942]

Okay... I was a Valued Member earlier today, now Senior Member, and now Elite... weird but not complaining either.

 

Managed to get the nose area sorted out (4096 x 2048!!!!) to a decent condition given the different mapping:

 

[+EricJ 3,942]

Still stuck with some personal issues. I want to do another What If for the -25T, based on the "Peanut" scheme for that aircraft. Sometime though...

Released the UN Su-25A? It's a great one!

[+EricJ 3,942]

I didn't release it because you requested it.  So if you want me to I can, but I sent you the link so you could download it last week.

[Stratos 3,168]

And I have been using to bomb Caucasian terrorists during all this time. You can release If you want, is a great skin and I think it deserves to be shared.

[+EricJ 3,942]

Okay no problem then.

[+EricJ 3,942]

Russouk2004... you remember how to setup ModelViewer to run? When I lost my laptop I havent' gotten around to it... as I totally forgot how...

[+EricJ 3,942]

Meh back into the gruove here after some Arma 3 work.  Anyway, started on a "Ferris" Su-25T based off an F-15 design I found on my hard drive:

[+EricJ 3,942]

More work, and thanks to a couple people, got ModelViewer working again :):

[+EricJ 3,942]

Current progress, having internets issues:

 

[+EricJ 3,942]

And a cheap false canopy:



After this and some tweaks I'll upload it.

[+Dave 2,318]

You can put Ferris Scheme on a turd and it will look good. My favorite of all time. 

[+EricJ 3,942]

Lol I think the Su-25T is a pretty good plane man, but gotcha

Oh I wasn't calling the plane a terd, I was speaking in general on how good that scheme looks on everything.
