Skin template for F-16XL

[zachtan]

Hi, I'm looking for a skin template for the F-16XL, wondering where I might be able to find it. I've tried looking under every category, although I may not have been looking hard enough if the template can be found :D

Thanks in-advance!

There is no public template available.

Try to contact "the Viper Team" or dtmdragon. ;-)

Hmm.. Thanks for the help anyway!

well, Mue's Lod Viewer will generate the lined maps, if that's of any help.

By chance, will we be seeing Hawk Hunter's XL from "The Wingman" series??

zachtan is recreating skins of the Ace Combat universe, but who knows? The only famous F-16XL I recall from Ace Combat is that of Wizard Squadron: http://acecombat.wikia.com/wiki/Wizard_Squadron

Damn, you ruined the surprise. The XL's gonna take awhile longer, mod creators lost the template, so Imma "attempt" (because I've never tried making a template before lol) to try to make my own lol (Should I stick to just the YF-23 or substitute the F-16XL with an F-16C?)

Sorry zachtan, I couldn't resist. Next time I won't spoil anything.

The YF-23 is a beauty, and AFAIK there aren't so many skins for it, so go for it. I'd rather have this one than the F-16C in place of the F-16XL. Didn't dtmdragon have some kind of template? He made hi-res skins for the F-16XL a while ago.

Yeah, he lost it. But I'll try making my own.

 

BTW, what I meant was, should I make (YF-23 + F-16C, YF-23 Alone or YF-23 +F-16XL)

Stupid me, I am still sleeping I guess, LOL!  Making a package with both YF-23 and F-16 (XL if possible) makes sense, it's the same squadron after all (actually both Wizard and Sorcerer are part of the same squadron, they are just two different flights). Making a separate upload could be useful in case you'll update only one of the two skins. Your choice.

According to Acepedia, it seems that Wizard uses the F/A-18C (most likely with a generic skin, Project ACES couldn't bother to add certain details in a PS2 game) during Operation Battle-Axe, but for some kind of reason they get the YF-23 and F-16 after the defection to AWWNB. Sorcerer instead uses the same aircraft, before and after the defection. Weird choice by Project ACES.

EDIT: about Wizard's Hornet, just as I thought: http://acecombat.wikia.com/wiki/File:Fa18c_wizard1.png
