Centurion-1

Hi, yes I guess a lot of South Americans feel more strongly about this bird than many others! I like it too, it's what made me start it in the first place! I restarted this model 2 times so I think it is now a fairly accurate and good model to build on.

Hi! The new A-37B was work-in-progress by me, I got pretty far but I have not been able to finish it, other projects have forced me to neglect it. Right now Carlo (Soulfreak) has the files and he will make new templates for it. It also needs a new cockpit in my opinion and some ini work... Sadly, I have some other projects that take priority. However if anyone wants to start the ini bit or cockpit work I am all for that, working as a team is a lot faster... Current state is this:

What i would like is something as simple as an identifying text showing who calls what on the radio: [Cobra 1-1]: Fox Three! or [Zebra 2-1] I'm taking damage!

Yeah but I need the source files in max.. I really dont feel like modeling the seat again from scratch.. Gonna PM the maker and see!

THanks guys, if all goes well you wont have to wait much longer! Does anyone have a Martin Baker Mk4 and/or Mk10 model in max they'd be willing to share? For the cockpit, obviously.. Also regarding the legs in cockpit, what do you think? Keep or remove (if keep I will work on them to look better)?

Very nice, good work!

That sounds good!

No I don't think so, the angle of attack box is the large tape on the left side of the hud, the g meter is on the right. But that small counter is not known to me.. I don't know what those wires that frame the canopy are but I added them and some more OCD details: I am now 98% done with the cockpit, jay! Celebratory music:

I am glad that you like it! Here is another update, there is light in the end of the tunnel This is brightened a tad to make it easier to see. Also I need help identifying what this weird counter is on the gunsight/hud.

Tip: use blending options->outer glow on the panel lines to add easy weathering.. blend mode normal, just a very faint opacity and some dirty color. Beats weathering the whole bird by hand

Well that does sound like a very reasonable approach! Anyways, can't wait to try the new Su-20!

Yes, of all the SF1 era model I think this is one of the best. Sure, it wouldn't hurt from a few polys here and there but overall I think it is looking good! Do you have all these source models Martin?

Q: Isn't the current avaliable Su-17/22 actually a rather accurate Su-22M4? I am referring to this model: http://combatace.com/files/file/13830-sukhoi-su-1722m4-fitter-k/

Or you could try Sweetfx which uses a different version of AA (FXAA or MSAA or whatev)

Complete and utter asshattery if you ask me. To the point that I've never even bothered to try to get access. Why would anyone make something for free and then limit who can download it?

Uploaded the templates too, so go crazy :P

File Name: F-105D PSD Layered Templates for SF2 File Submitter: Centurion-1 File Submitted: 02 June 2013 File Category: Skin Templates These are layered Photoshop templates for the stock Thirdwire F-105D sized 1024x1024. These are made partially by hand and partially by superimposing modified stock USAF silver textures, so the overall detail is 99% of the default skins + a little extra in the form of new paint chips and weathering. Credits: Me Ludo M.54 for initial work (rivets and panel lines) To be noted i use blending effects to achieve uniform colors a lot so if some layer does not change color if you try a hue/saturation change, that's why. So go instead to Blending options and color overlay. I use this to achieve uniform coloring on all textures. Have fun! Click here to download this file

File Name: F-105D Hill AFB updated skins File Submitter: Centurion-1 File Submitted: 31 May 2013 File Category: SF2 Series Add On Skins DELETE THE OLD HILL AFB SKINS FOR THE UPDATED ONES TO SHOW UP Updated Hill AFB skins for the SF2 F-105D This is an update for Daddyairplanes´ Hill Afb Skins (http://combatace.com/files/file/13741-f-105d-hill-afb-skins/) that I did, and are uploaded with DAs permission. The main changes from the previous version are added details and weathering as well as restoring missing rivet and panel lines. So 90% of the credit goes to Daddyairplanes, I only did a visual tuneup. Happy flying, Centurion aka Mats Liljeroos 31. May 2013 ORIGINAL README: Semi Historical Hill AFB F-105D Skins The 466th TFS, USAF Reserve, was lhe last operator of the F-105 Thunderchief. They flew their last mission before converting to the F-16A in 1983. Due to how long they flew the 'Thud' and their proximity to Ogden Air Logistics Center, where many aircraft go to be repainted, they flew 3 Thuds in colors other than the traditional SEA camo. Those schemes (SEA Wraparound, European 1, and a one off Desert scheme based on the pattern of the first two) are represented here. Also provided are black tailcode for the 466th ('HI') and 50 black serial numbers. Sorry only 50 as the Thud was getting rarer by that time. The first 10 serials are historical with the first 3 being the ones used by the aircraft so painted. the other 40 numbers are redone TW serials spanning FY59-62. This is not a completely accurate rendition, the pattern is different than T.O. 1-1-4 states for SEA Wraparound and Euro 1. What I did was to wraparound the stock skin, then swap the colors (as was done IRL). I also did not do the nose art's for the aircraft due to other commmitments, and lack of time. Much credit goes to : ludo.54m for his templates, which allowed me more freedom to color while keeping the panel lines and rivets Soulfreak, both for the idea and material support with references TK for the stock bird and decals the greater CA community for support and education over the years Included in the mod are Desert, Euro 1 and SEA Wraparound skins my Expanded Squadronlist.ini, which puts 466th TFS as selectable in menu the Photoshop templates I used to create this mod.
