More progress

Decided to do this VF-111 CAG. Since the squadron was disestablished in '95 I guess I can apply it to the F-14A. The hardest part is cleaning up the shark mouth as it works so far, but needs some fine tuning in order to wrap around the nose, which is me figuring out how the nose is mapped:

Not that I know of. The game wasn't meant to be flown like Ace Combat and such.

View File TW F-14A Maverick Scheme [Fictional] Adapted from my MF F-14 scheme for the new Top Gun 2 movie, this is just the skin adapted for the TW F-14A. The file is setup for easy installation, simply follow the file structure scheme and you will be good to go. It's selectable under "Maverick Scheme" in your drop down menu for schemes and go fly.

Uploaded and awaiting approval.

And pretty much done:

Working on the Maverick scheme:

Some other forums get on people with starting a new topic without searching first, so it's an ingrained response. So it could be that rather than going out of their way to annoy you.

Yeah that's the one I did for you back awhile ago. Maybe I'll do it for The TW cat then...

Got my laptop so I'm almost setup. I just need to figure out what I am going to do. I'm thinking of making a version of the F-14 from Top Gun 2 but I'm sure the one in the movie is a D and not an A. But then again I could make it whatever. Still not sure what unit to go over given the dearth of stuff for it. But I'll find something for sure. Or I'm open to suggestions as well given I can't figure out where to start.

Well once I get a new laptop sent to me I will see about doing more planes. What I don't know as my reference folder is pretty thin.

I like the Aggressor ones myself. Then again most of them look good.

Managed to get my new mouse, so I was able to finish the skin and upload it, awaiting approval.

View File TW F-14A Razgriz Scheme [Fictional] This is the best rendition of the Razgriz scheme from Ace Combat. Since I don't know much of the lore for the aircraft this is just something I decided to do to get myself familiar with the template that pappychecksix did for the aircraft. The mod has the file structure setup and all you do to install it is follow the structure and you'll be fine. The skin can be found under "Razgriz". Simply select that skin and go fly.

A near-finished skin. Just have to do the tail tips (able to be done with a working mouse):

More (a little) progress. I had hoped to finish this tonight but the mouse god killed my trackball so I will probably get it out tomorrow or Thursday. It's such an easy skin though as the template is very nice and high res making for some good stuff here.

Thanks, I'm using the stuff from the TMF version to make things quicker.

An "Easy" one, working on the Razgriz version of the F-14A:

Okay, I'll keep it in mind

Learning a new skin is hard sometimes, but the best way to do it sometimes is just to do your own personal skin to figure out what goes where. I can't promise much with the TW F-14 but I got some decals from Dave that may help skin this plane up. Also, a download confirmed that the templates used for this are the ones by pappychecksix, so thanks for the wonderful templates, other than the drop tank, which i squared away as well. Also "deadened" the reflection part of the sun. USN birds aren't flashy and lo-visibility colors work best when the sun does highlight, but not brighten the skin.

They might be his. Is it 3072 x 3072? If so then they could be his.

The way I understand the pylons is that they're part of the model and can't be detached, unless perhaps it being shot down. And as Nyghtfall suggests making them a bomb or whatnot would only complicate things because you can't jettison the ordnance, or maybe have the ordnance jettisoned with it. I mean you'd have to alter the code to have that feature if I understand it right.

I know, I'm not there yet though, but whoever did do that template did a good job though, if it was you then thanks for it, made skinning easy.
