Nice work GKABS!! Enjoy your time in Turkey.

I Recon that would be a really nice bird and would love to get it into action:)

What great information everyone!! I will need to up grade my Photo shop. I use Photoshop 9 and 7 and DTXBmp for dds. GKABS thanks for the helpful post

What Photoshop are you using now GKABS?

I downloaded DXTBMP and that works as well. I did get this from one of the how to forums. This also saves back into dds as well

Can hardly wait to get a hold of it and try it out!!! Looks great!!!

Thanks everyone for the tips and tricks and I will get some more practice and perfect my decals and art work!!! Cheers Richo

View File Paran_Navy Richo’s Paran Navy for SF2 Desert 2/16/2021 Paran Navy pack along with some Soviet Navy updates for stock ships. This project was inspired by Soviet Navy Vertical Pack and this is available at Combat Ace if you do not already have it. Other inspirations are from Snailman’s Kiev photo he sent me on a Decaling question. Also I cannot forget the rest of the Third Wire community at Combat Ace and T.K. for the Strike Fighter series. Mues LODViewer is a plus and a must have tool. Other inspirations come from myself when working on the Polish Navy for SF2NA and needed a break and went back to the Desert and realized Paran needed a Navy to challenge the USN and USMC. In this Paran Navy pack is Just the Stock Third Wire Soviet ships, Kiev, Kashin, KrivakI and KrivakII up dated for the Paran Navy with Hull Numbers and Names. Working Torpedo's, RBU Launchers, Cruise missile's. The Kiev will take some extra pounding and keep on punching but is sinkable. Included is the Soviet updated Hull Numbers and Names. I am still working on them and I have not finished. But the Updated Names List and Hull Numbers are correct. Just working on the correct years and testing this out when I get time to play:) Weapons are added and modified due to limitations I had to compromise on the actual Missiles and Rockets. I could not find them anywhere? I will have to wait until new versions of these weapons are available. Photos are in Weapons/ 1A_Weapons info. Weapons are from various weapons packs available for free ware. Thanks for the hard work on those weapons:) Also included is a stock Yak 38 modified for action and updated Stary yak38 cockpit. Also from “Soviet Navy Vertical pack” and the Readme’s are included. Also needed is an updated Skin as well for the Paran Yak 38. The one available does not look right but will have to do the trick. If someone can make one that would be great!!! I am just learning to make Decals. Always looking for Submitter Richo Submitted 02/15/2021 Category Other  

Hi Modder's can any one steer me in the right direction on making Decals that look like this? I am using Adobe 7 and used the Decal Tutorial and just need to get to the next level. Help Please? I just want to change the color and able to read what is on the decal like this one. I have the stencil set that Wrench and Daddy Airplanes gave me I am trying to make some Ship names.36915-Decals Tutorial for serial numbers.pdf

Ok I will try that one when I get back home in a week
