17th TRS, 1978 (and after i said no SEA Phantoms at that.....)

well, these havent popped up in a while.....

um, it is simple enough for most of us that i dont think anyone ever thought to do a tutorial what questions do you have?

i thought you released them seperately too into the storm there can be only one.....

no time like the present to learn on the templates. biggest thing i can advise on making your own is LAYERS, LAYER LAYERS. dont be afraid to make layers, it will help you greatly in the long run. also, bigger is better at least in development. if you can blow up the original skin to 2048px or even 4096, do so. the results will be much better even if you shrink it back down at the end back the the what program, we all got our preferences and all the old heads round here will swear by what they use. find what works for you (including cost) and play with it. make mistakes. fix those mistakes. its how you learn

will confirm it can open psd, and it can export to psd

I fell into a burnin' ring of fire I went down, down, down And the flames went higher And it burns, burns, burns The ring of fire, the ring of fire

gimp works awesomely considering the price (free) and i would say has most of the functionality of photoshop (99.99% of what you might ever think you need for basic skinning). frankly i still use it over Photoshop despite having an active subscription for Creative Cloud atm. i absolutely prefer it for decal making to PS

been workin RFs too long already, i can tell the diff tween the old ODS skins an my work Lets hit up 3rd AF for a scenery change...

they call themselves the Recce Rebels ya know but it you like bright and low

LORAN (aka the towel rack)

View File Hogs in Reserve: A-10A in Air Force Reserve Service, 1990s Hogs in Reserve: A-10A in Air Force Reserve Service, 1990s This is a skin and decal mod to bring the A-10s of the US Air Force Reserves throughout the 1990s to SF2 It features skins for both the European 1 green skins as well as the Grey Compass Ghost scheme that the Hogs settled into as the 90s progressed. Although considered a part time frorce, the AFRES hogs were quite busy throughout the 1990s supporting operations in the Balkans and over Northern Iraq. This mod has pinpointed the aircraft of each unit as accurately as possible within each unit Note: the 706th Fighter Squadron is covered from 1996 on, not the aircraft the squadron used in Desert Storm. most of those went to the boneyard shortly after coming home as the squadron converted to F-16s for a few years. Included Skins and decals for 4 AFRES A-10 squadrons: the 45th FS "IN", 47th FS "BD", 303rd FS "KC", and 706th FS "NO" post 1996.

Kadena Tactical

well it's one of the first round of skins for TW Vipers from back eleven years ago. Block 10s are on my todo list, but the 388th ("HL") is abit further down than others. plus if ravenclaw does a Block 10 to match the other F-16s he's done (i've been buggin about a Block 10 B model for a while now) that just causes it all to be redone mandatory screenie

man them original Viper skins are gettin old garden variety Viper, with 2022 threads....

View File 3rd Wing Moves North 3rd Wing Moves North The 3rd Tactical Fighter Wing was slated to leave Clark AB in the Phillipines in 1992. However the eruption of Mt Pinatubo in June 1991 caused a much more rapid departure than planned from the Philippines. The 3rd Wing set up shop at Elmendorf AFB, Alaska in December 1991, taking over from the 21st Wing that had been the host unit. By January 1994, the 3 Wing had the 19th and 54th Fighter Squadrons operating F-15C and D Eagles, the 90th Fighter Squadron operating the F-15E Strike Eagle, The 517th Airlift Squadron operating the C-130H Hercules and the 962nd Airborne Air Control Squadron operating the E-3A Sentry This mod sets up everything you need to send the 3rd Wing or any of its elements into battle in the mid 1990s. While primarily focused on the Pacific theater of operations, the 90th Fighter Squadron did participate in Operation Deny Flight in Europe from October 1995 until start of 1996. Included Aircraft: F-15C/D_91, F-15E_92, C-130H3, E-3A as well as the decals and pilots for these aircraft Weapons for each aircraft as was available in the mid 1990s Effects and sounds as needed to support the aircraft Installation unzip, open the "2 mod folder" and place into the mod folder of your choice. allow overwrites Credits ----------F-15C/D_91, F-15E_92---------------------- Viper63a - Cockpit work, skin template Spudknocker - Upgraded Flight Model and Weapons Loadout.

well damn, thought i'd put this out there already. now waiting approval 10000 points to the first to post the penguin in the screenshot thread........ (hint: hit the brakes)

some details i usually dont get into the skins. but seeing as this one is straight up a historical artifact......

Hindsight is always 20-20 But looking back, it's still a bit fuzzy You speak of mutually assured destruction Nice story, tell it to Reader's Digest (who can tell what i listened to as i wrapped up?)

last one for Alabama.......
