3rd. First, I mapped Nimrod Mr.2. It is part of ODS 30 AE. But will be available separately in the download section as soon as I have a little more time. The second is VC-10 currently in mapping madness, painting lines, and making templates.

i keep tellin you all, bring out the GIMP

Another skin is ready.

awesome! detailed enough i can almost see the split in somebodies ACU pants

I can recommend > Sagethumbs < Using that, you can get previews of TGAs in Windows:

Hola Claudio! así es. estamos deapoco afinando detalles. Por ahora le agregué partes que no tenía, mejore la skin del prototipo. luego me dedicare al cockpit, paraque quede lo mejor posible. Tambien le agregaré un Bump para mayor realismo. Subo unas capturas para ir viendo como va, y muchas gracias por el elogio.Ya sabes que todo cometario/crítica/obsrvación es absolutamente bien recibido.

the link says RAF, but the site has the airlines too......

@GKABS dude you're an absolute beast knocking out all these new ground objects! Keep up the great work! I split every pair of A2CUs I had climbing up and down the aircraft.

kev RAF VC10s

I did one from scratch.

Training at Field 5, Issoudun, France 1918

@ GKABS.....if you're using photoshop just enable the alpha channel to view or edit it , there really is no need to have multiple programmes to create .tga's....whatever the other programmes can do, believe me so can photoshop it's just a case of learning how.

In the last weeks, during the test flights i found a lot of minor mistakes what i had to correct. I hope that i have found all bugs. I think i'm ready with the campaign testing. I included 3 different campaign for the terrain. Two fictionary ones: One Operation Seelöwe, the german invasion in 1940. Two Operation Seelöwe, the german invasion in 1956, and one none fiction the british Nonstop-offensive from 1941, when the RAF made their Rodeo attacks over the English Canal. Screenshot Operation Seelöwe 1956 with a fictionary Republic of Germany as red side: I still have to make the readme file and i hope that i can release the terrain end of the week.

We found a small issue in the Mirage F1CK, a hotfix is available in the Mirage F1CK in the download section. If you already installed the Mirage F1CK, donwload the hotfix and copy/paste the MF1CK folder in your Aircraft folder, overwrite when it will be asked. If you download the Mirage F1Ck for the first time, the hotfix is not necessary. available soon.

also, don't forget to 'associate' the file name (.tga) with an imaging program. I did that a million years ago, and never had an issue with PS opening tgas * *well, excepting PS 7. still don't know why the alpha vanishes! isn't there a patch for that??

if i were tackling this, i would throw a blank layer on top, them scale the image (not layer) 200-300 percent trace the shape and use color picker to get that down. keep pressing shift while working the pen/pencil/brush/ whatever you use and just make the curves a large series of small straight lines. do the curves esp zoomed in at least 200% if not more the Cryllic word is only slightly trickier, quick google search for an image with it (in the proper font and style) or playing with Word or something similar. PS and GIMP will use teh same fonts you have in your preferred docx program, but looking it up in word first keeps GIMP from crashing (well, at least several years and versions ago, just habit for me now) i understand wanting a ready made copy. but as scratch makes go that one seems really straight forward

Photoshop shows very correct. It shows what is actualy drawn but not how it is be in artists head

Clearly those are decals. You don't see them properly because Photoshop does not render alpha channel transparency for .TGAs automatically. Use Paint.NET in order to see those properly.

The first test of the M106A with a full crew., big thanks to guuruu for helping to fix my mortar round and the effects dataini

Claimed a Heinkel as damaged. Slightly shot about. Had to dead stick in along the coast. Not sure what airfield. Hope they have tea on.

and now with the life rounds

Dear Friends! Today’s DD is pretty straightforward, we’d simply like to show you some shots of content that we have in the works for both Battle of Normandy and Flying Circus: Volume II. First, we have multiple renders of new objects, vehicles and ships that are being created by a development partner of ours. They are coming along nicely as you can see. They will be fully integrated into the engine very soon. Next, we have the first shots of the Fokker D.VIII which is development by our friends at Ugra Media. This awesome high-winged monoplane will grace your installs next month assuming everything goes to plan. We plan to release it along with the Typhoon Mk.Ib (which we showed in a DD269) in our next update, which should happen by mid-June. Again, assuming final preparations go well. Also, our great friend Luke 'Requiem' Campbell has created a very helpful video on how to operate the GAZ-MM 72-K and improve your accuracy when shooting at planes and vehicles. Check it out! Thank you to Requiem for making another great training video! GAZ-MM 72-K Steam Release! Additionally, we have added the GAZ-MM 72-K to our Steam store today where it along with the official webstore will have it on discount for another week. You can pick it up HERE. All other work continues and our efforts to expand the team a bit so we can finish Normandy as planned continues. Stay tuned to our DDs all spring and summer long as we continue to build out BON and FC2! See you in the skies! The Sturmovik Team

If you keep flying a BE2, then the day you die will be upon you rather abruptly.

well, it looks like the drogue pods are seperate meshes, and therefore removable via the ini trick

One more...

This is 15 minutes work to get to a higher resolution, if you simply redraw it. These are just some lines...and your template has good quality already.

It doesn't fix the issue because it's unrelated to cockpit data. This issue is a consequence of the environment mod which makes nights darker. The stock game does not feature truly working IR images. We'll discuss it at the development thread. See you there, Viper!

Classic stuff. Now you've done it , Catch, luring me down another rabbit hole. HERE is a link to the complete film "The Rink" (1916) Sir Cecil Seltzer, C.O.D. Sounds like a good name for a Wing Commander.

AMEN!

I did some experiment on converting the regular screenshot into 1970s and older photo style. I thought "Why not?" so here it is: Parked A-4s - Rregular screenshot Parked A-4s - 1970s style screenshot Parked A-4s - Older style screenshot Parked MiG-21s - Regular screenshot Parked MiG-21s - 1970s style screenshot Parked MiG-21s - Older style screenshot

Intercepted a RAF Rodeo 1941, norther France.

The first challenge I ever ran was the reverse of this, we were in the Eindeckers getting wiped, so I always feel bad for these guys!

First Veltro2k´s multi part skin as far as I know. Enhances the resolution. Great work indeed!

Hi All, Have now posted my ReShade preset file for FE2 (and SF2) in the following post located under the FM Tweaks Package thread: https://combatace.com/forums/topic/87403-tweaked-flight-models-and-realism-pack-for-fe2/?page=8&tab=comments#comment-783977 See below for examples of before/after pics. with stock shaders and improved shaders loaded in FE2 (the preset was tested in ver. 4.9.1 of ReShade). Was never able to get the ENB Series shaders files working in FE2, or even SweetFX for that matter - but this (later) version of ReShade works great. More details/info. included in the "Read Me" file that comes with the zipped download package. I think that the sun/color effects are now a little bit closer to the (realistic) tweaks that Geezer mentioned, a few yrs. back, in one of the threads here - regarding improved lighting and various color effects in FE2. Loading a preset file via ReShade is of course simpler than manually tweaking the environsys.ini file in FE2. The other good thing about these improved shaders is slightly smoother anti-aliasing effects too than in stock configuration. Also, no negative effect on FPS with these shaders loaded and that I was able to observe. Happy flying all, Von S Example One - Stock Shaders in FE2 Example One - Improved Shaders Loaded in FE2 Example Two - Stock Shaders in FE2 Example Two - Improved Shaders Loaded in FE2

Ravenclaw is like a fine wine, he gets better with age.

For @Wrench and @UllyB it is fully animated and mostly skinned It has the Yak-27R seats as placeholders to test space for the pilot (this one carries MiG-17F seats KK-2, mostly done too)

Shortly available to download:

Let's refresh this thread with a few more screenies - enjoying Eugene's new photo-realistic skins for the N.10 and early Fokk. D.VII - great stuff. This is still one of the best WW1 sims for quick, seat-of-the-pants action - fully modded, it still holds its own. (Using a subtle ReShade preset file by the way in these latest pics. - will consider posting the presets for those interested under a separate thread.) Happy flying all, Von S

Last one for a while.......

View File SF2 Lockheed L-1049G Super Constellation Airliner Skin Pack 1 SF2 Lockheed L-1049G Super Constellation Airliner Skin Pack 1 5/12/2020 -For SF2, Any and All (Full 4/5 Merged Reccomended) This package contains 2 new airliner skins for the civilian Super Constellation. You can find the original aircraft package at the following URL: https://combatace.com/files/file/17424-sf2-lockheed-l-1049-super-constellation-pack-by-russouk/ The airliner companies represented here are: Qantas (15 aircraft) Lufthansa (8 aircraft) While many markings are painted on, a large majority are decals. Decal randomization is TRUE. All registration numbers are 100% historically correct. The Qantas skin also has the names assiged to the aircraft by the company (Southern Star, etc), matched to their registration numbers. This should give some nice eye candy parked around your airfields in the mid 1950s and early 1960s. As is always reccomended, unzip to a temp folder or your desktop to give easy access to the rest of this readme for it's install instructions. Happy Landings!
