View File P-47N-15_Redrawn Lines, Rivets, etc.. by RussoUK2004 Redrawn Lines, Rivets, etc.. for the P-47N-15 Thunderbolt by RussoUK2004. It can be used for SF1 or SF2. Add your own paint, dirt, details and weathering. This template is a Photoshop .psd file at 2048 pixels. It has redrawn lines, rivets and various bits. It can be reduced for those with low spec computers. It was based on RussoUK2004's template. The only skin with this template is USAF Natural Metal / Aluminum. If you want to make the lines and rivets darker or lighter, this template allows you to do that yourself by adjusting the opacity of the lines, rivets or any layer of this file. To use it you must have a paint program that reads/modifies .psd files. Then you can adjust the specular, glossiness and/or reflection entries in the skin's texture.ini file to get the skin to your liking. I use the poor mans' method of bump mapping. I don't have the needed software or skills to create real bump maps. I use two template layers: one black the other white. The white layer is below the black layer and offset one pixel up or down and one pixel left or right. Then adjust the opacity of each layer to create a 'shadow' effect. When done right it gives the illusion it's 3D. Credit and Thanks to RussoUK2004 for this classic plane. I'm releasing this under the Combat Ace Fair Use Agreement.

The Phirst Phantom!

Yeah, occasionally I think I get normal, but it's usually by accident. When I first started making templates, it was because I wanted to paint planes. Seems I'm not very good at painting. I usually end up REPAINTING someone else's work, such are yours, with my redrawn lines and rivets, etc. Although, if it just takes splashing on paint with a bucket, I can do that. Guess I'm better at making canvas for other painters. Either way, works for me as long as we still make skinners and skins. Some models, like Russouk's little beauties are great for making templates. Well done planes.

Thanks, Looks interesting. I wonder how normal Mr. Normal is.

I've been a flight sim addict since the late '80s. Think I've owned and flown 90 percent of the flight sims sold since then in the U.S. and Europe. For all it's 'faults' this is the best overall flight sim I've every flown. Some have better graphics, some better flight modeling, etc... but overall, this sim allows us addicts to do easily more with this game than any other available. That's why most of us are here. I'm grateful for the game. Although a bit aged and not perfect, it's still my flight sim of choice. I find it difficult to complain about something that's given me so much fun over the years.

View File F-84F_TMF_4096pixel_Redrawn Lines & Rivets Redrawn Lines, Rivets, etc.. for the Mirage Factory's beautiful little F-84F Thunderstreak. It can be used for SF1 or SF2. This template is a .psd file at 4096 pixels. It can be reduced for those with low spec computers. It was made using Photoshop. It has redrawn lines, rivets and various bits. I had completed about half of this template when I discovered PappyChkSix's template and beautiful skins. Kicked myself repeatedly and at great length but I was also happy to discover the skins. Some of this template is based on and inspired by his original template and works. The only skin with this template is USAF Natural Metal / Aluminum.

Strange. I just turn on my TrackIR 5, start my SF2 game, when I'm sitting in the cockpit, I hit F12 to center TrackIR and go fly.

Have you recently updated anything in or on you computer? Also, do you use a Nvidia graphics card? It could be either of these two reasons.

USN A-47N Thunderbolt (Seabolt … Maybe predecessor to the Skyraider)

trotski00, I don't have access to any original B-25 or B-26 templates. But if you are looking for a template for the old SF1 B-26 Marauder, I've attached one I did sometime back. If it's not what you're looking for, ignore this. It's got a few wiggles in the lines when placed on the lod, and needs more work... so, pretty much as is. Please feel free to improve it. A couple of pics: Geary B-26_Marauder.7z

I haven't heard of any 'fixes' except to revert to the last working nvidia driver.

Yes. Usually with no mucking around. But sometimes Nvidia drivers can cause hiccups.

Cliff7600, If you are doing more than just the cockpit, I think I recently made a template for skins for this plane. If you are interested in it, let me know and I'll see if I can find it for you.
