Some better work. The tail insignia per the original is already low-res so I can only do so much with it, but it's something.

Thanks man I got it so you can remove it, again thanks for the help (and was planning on crediting the author of the skin, just a matter of course).

Thanks man, I do appreciate it. Also here is the start of the skin:

Okay how do I use the script? Do I just run it and it'll do the headers?

Thanks, I didn't think the file was named that, as I tried a couple sites and didn't see it. As for decals it shouldn't be too hard to reverse engineer it, just have to see how it goes getting it unpacked. Okay I managed to extract the file, but how do you hex edit? I tried renaming the file but that obviously didn't work. Which hex editor do you use and what are the steps?

I think its because nothing is ever done correct in movies regarding the military, except for movies like The Lone Survivor, and the one about Chris Kyle. Other than that movies just get it wrong and I think they were painted that way in order to be not seen as an official endorsement of a movie, or some other reason that I don't know of.

Do you have a link to the mod? IF so then the problem is that I can't open the .pak files given the native file format for Ace Combat. Or if there is a utility I can download the skin and reverse engineer the skin to make it work for a Tomcat skin. Otherwise I'd help though, looks pretty cool.

Another Hornet skin, this time a WIP Centennial of Naval Aviation one. Most of it is done so far but waiting on some ordered decals to finish this one.

Finally the decals from allenjb42 came in, and decided to go for a faded look on the tails:

Managed to get this done, a VFA-143 CO jet, time unknown based on a few reference photos.

EDIT: I think that did help, here's the result:

How about this?

I'll see what I can do, thanks.

Here's the mentioned Malaysian skin, so far not a complete aircraft, but has full decals for all eight aircraft.

Thanks! I did a Swiss and Malaysian respective versions, but I have to get off my ass and do the appropriate decals to pull it off right. EDIT: I checked and there is a Swiss version, I just have to do a Malay decal set and I can do the Malay skin.

No I haven't actually as JSF_Aggie seems more able to do Phantom skins than me.
