Skin Problems
RustyKurnass replied to trimmermedal833's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Oe something wrong in the name, etc... Can you post an example? In yhese days I'm making the opposite of you Trimmer and try to play DCS ( Eric, you've asked me in the DCS Forum) -
This Mk-83 was frequently used by A-6s, both Vietnam and later. A crew that received the Navy Cross for a night strike on the Red River ferry docks in the Hanoi area delivered 13 Mk83SE loaded on MERs on all five pylons. I'll search in my ref if I've some pics for you This is the type of load is possible with the tweaked MER of Homefrye pack ( if you neede them mate...).

I can explain how I work on the Nyghtfall PSD file actually. Open the necessary map file and hide all the unecessary layers ( with the small eye button) and left only the basic camo to work with, At this point I export the file as a JPG format, as I noted is more simple to work. At this point you work directely on this file and when finished, reopen the original PSD file and this time hide the camo layer, pratically all the contrary of the previous step. Now you have the layers with rivets, panel lines,ecc... and you can copy and past over your reworked camo et voilà. BTW I'm a noob on skin without a precise and technically right modus operandi...

View File SF2_IDF_V2K_B-17s SF2_IDF_V2K_B-17s = Tested in Full-5 Merged installation This project started as a personal customization to have the Israeli skins for Veltro 2K B-17F/G. In 1948 the IDF/AF found four B-17G in a dump in Florida and bought them.The planes were in very poor conditions, stripped of the turrets and instruments.Three were made airworty and flew via Azores to Czechoslovakia, there received additional and better instruments ( some war-time Luftwaffe gunsights,ecc...) and loaded with bomb.On their way to Israel, one bombed Cairo and the other two Egyptian positions in Sinai. The fate of the fourth bomber was less succesful, because the raids of the first three on Egypt prompted a FBI investigation and , cut a long story short, the plane was seized by authority in the Azores, as the crew involved choose to rest after the trip instead of refuel the bird and take off as soon possible. The bombers were assigned to the 69 Squadron The Hammers at Hatzor and given serial number 1601,1602 and 1603, and by the end of the War of Indepenence the B-17s had flown over 200 missions. At the time of the Suez crisis the Fortresses were out of service but two were brought back in action with changed two-digit serial numbers and incomplete camouflage ( only brown instead of the standard brown-blue over silk grey). During their operational use the planes were painted in different way, comprised NMF and with various artwork applied, but this wasn't my focus. ========== To Install: As always raccomended,all in the relative folders in your game(s) ----------------------------- Credits: Veltro 2K for the models Me for the decals and the skins ------------ Know issue: This modest pack contain both the F and G model despite Israel bought only G model. My choice was dictated by the fact that during the War of Independence the planes were armed only woth the waist and tail guns in a indigenous modification, the rear bulkhead of the tail position conmpletely removed and equipped with twin .03 inch machineguns. For these reason I opted for the B-17F in my mod By the time of the Suez action ( in reality even before) the complete armament was restored, here my choice for the B-17G. In 1956 the s/N 23 had the chin turret replaced by a search radar for maritime patrol, but I'm absolutely unable to modify the models as I'm not a modder, so you will be fly with the gun turret in his place. I choose to add the fourth plane ,just to have one more, despite never arrived in Israel. -------------------------------------------- References: Schiffer Military Book, "Hammers, Israel's Long-range Heavy Bomber Arm: The Story of 69 Squadron", Shlomo Aloni & Zvi Avidror SAM Publication, Camouflage & Markings No.3 The Israeli Air Force Part One 1948 to 1967, Ray Ball Isradecal decals sheet The net ------------------------------------------- Legal note: This package may NOT in any way, shape or form be used in any payware addition. ------------------------------------------- Gianni "RustyKurnass" Coniglio ========== Submitter RustyKurnass Submitted 02/11/2022 Category B-17
