citizen67 Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 Starting a new campaign in SF2NA - Black Sea Crisis, this is the way the F-16C Blk 50 appears. The skin is 77th FS. I opened it in Photoshop and compared to other skins that works, but I wasn't able to find relevant differences. Maybe something in the .ini files? Thanks in advance Quote
+Soulfreak Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 Have you tried to use that skin a single (not so full populated) mission? Quote
citizen67 Posted June 19, 2015 Author Posted June 19, 2015 (edited) no, but I've noticed that this problem happen randomly: sometimes yes, sometimes not. and it seems to me it happens only with the F-16C at daytime... Edited June 19, 2015 by citizen67 Quote
RUSTYMORLEY Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 Have you altered or changed anything at all with regard to the skin itself, or the name of the skin or the name of the skin folder. I have done that before and got exactly what you got there - black fuselage. But his doesn't happen all the time. Quote
+Geezer Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 Have you altered or changed anything at all with regard to the skin itself, or the name of the skin or the name of the skin folder. I have done that before and got exactly what you got there - black fuselage. But his doesn't happen all the time. Occasionally, I've had similar results - black airplane parts - and Rusty has identified the cause. It usually happens when there is a disconnect of some kind with the skin art: different file names for the art or different folder names containing the art. Quote
citizen67 Posted June 19, 2015 Author Posted June 19, 2015 No, I haven't altered anything. I've opened a few skins in Photoshop to look if there were difference between the ones working and the ones don't (things like 8bit vs. 16bit, RGB vs CMYK), and I closed without saving. The skins are in JPG format, not BMP. Maybe, as Geezer said, there is a disconnection in the file path. In which file I can take a look to check the file names/file path? Quote
+eburger68 Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 citizen67: The main texture file for those F-16 skins is a 4096x4096 graphic, which is large. You might try using a reduced size version. See the attached, which is 2048x2048. Eric Howes 77FS.zip Quote

I went through and scaled EVERY viper body skin down by 50% And yes it takes ages! lol 1 Quote
