Here's my way to do decals (I'm sure there are easier ways out there): 1. Create new picture 2. Make a new layer for your decal (Blue Circle in this case) 3. Hold CTRL and left-click on the Pencil-Square-thing on the decal-layer of the layers-tab to select the decal-shape 4. Go to channels tab and left-click on the rectangle with the hole inside at the tabs bottom to save the selection as alpha-channel 5. Select the Alpha-channel (all other channels are not visible then --> eye-symbol only on alpha-channel). The Decal is all white (hex #ffffff), that means the decal has 0% transparency. If it is all black (hex #000000) like the background, than it is 100% transparent. All you have to do is to adjust the "color" of your decal. Select a foreground-color (to get a similar blackish tone like TK, I use color hex#d6d6d6, that has a slight transparency) and use "Edit->Fill..." from the menus, select in the "Fill"-window "foreground color", normal and 100% and hit ok. The Decals color on alpha-channel should change now (but not on the color-channels). Save as .tga and make sure "Alpha-Channels" is selected. The key to transparent decals is the color of your decal on the alpha-channel...black = 100% transparent, white = 0% transparent/opaque. grey-tones are in between, the darker - the more transparent 6. Thats it! You have to do more steps to get a transparent decal in PS than in gimp and afaik tgas from PS always (must) have a background. But the steps above can be used in "Actions". These are makros, where you can record the above steps and just hit "play" to do a new decal - nice and easy. Set it up properly once and make things easier for you in the future.

I would like only to know if the shown fakepilot exists without the pylons.

He wants the fakepilot-mod above, but without the 2 pylons - so just the pitot-tube and the afterburner.

I'm at work right now, but can send you step-by-step pics when I'm back home, no problem. To make it a bit easier, you can also set up "Actions" in PS - it's some sort of makro. So with one click, you have done your decal.

Very busy and my hump day is finally about over at 2 AM. Sadly not much time to play SF2 but here you go... some EC-767 action:

Nothing is as quick as GIMP for making TGA's especially if you make 256x256 transparency your default screen.

For those who want unpainted textures with decals...heres updated wings and tail texture... decal ini Roundel decal just put each in their respected folders and overwrite. Mig21FROM update.7z

I just wanted to have more challenging environment. Since there are 4 and 5 Gen planes available to download, there should be some good SAM either S300 or S400...
