Is anyone working on a Camo Olive Drab Layer?  It would help do this one quicker, if not I will have to make one

 

 

 

I have 2 planes with olive drab in my museum (different unit though)

And Raptorattacker has made on as well. 

 

I hope that gets you started

It's the first link on the first page. Every time I edit something I simply overwrite the link. When you click on it, it should say bigbeautifulldollv7.

@Legioneod and @BlackHellHound1 did you gentleman have to darken the Alpha layer for the Olive Drab sections only to keep the metal look for the rest of the aluminum exposed sections?

 

Thanks

Not just the OD sections. all the painted sections need to be darker on the alpha channel. You should be able to see it on the alpha layer of the skins.

Language changes over time. 80 years ago "Bick Dick" or "Pussy IV" had a different meaning than today. Or think about the 60s 007 Goldfinger by example, what is her name? Yes! "Ms. Pussy Galore" ?

 

 

Big Dick in the 40's would have meant Big Richard. Pussy IV would mean something about a Cat.

The one on the left is the correct one yes? It matches a photo I found online more than the one on the right does.

[Legioneod]

Anyone know whats causing this see through exhaust in the skins? I've looked in the alpha and base template but I can't find anything that would be causing this.

Legion I recall seeing a layer that is darkening it or have you already checked that off?

I've looked. Can figure out why there's see though pixels in the skin around the exhaust.

The first one wasn't visible enough for me so I made it darker. I could upload older, brighter version if you want.

It must be too black in alpha, just try to slightly brighten it in those parts in alpha layer.

I just had that problem, one of the extra dirt stains was causing the alpha to be too black. So, I lowered it, and lowered the opacity on the alpha template. Problem solved  Maybe that's what's causing it. To do a quick test, use the colorize option in the blending. If that fixes it, you can disable it, and manually do it.

Not true, it was up to the individual pilot to add the non-slip strips on the wing. Here's a couple REAL photos with it. Although, we might  agree it could be post-war.

Where exactly did you hear this? Ya can't just go making things up! I've seen hundreds of photos of Mustangs. I decided to go through my library. Photos from all of the Osprey series books,  photos from the Ethell  color series books, Mustang at War, Patton's Eyes in the Sky.....too many to list. Not ONE single photo shows a Mustang with that anti-slip strip. They didn't have it. And of course that photo is post war. It has the Air Force style stars and bars on it and the lettering says that it's the Virginia National Guard. As a matter of fact, that community that they are flying over looks very modern, with all of thoes swimming pools. I'd say that's not even really a military Mustang. Probably a restoration.

Yeah, I thought so. Here it is. The Collings Foundation Mustang. 

You need to learn how to research better than that.

If no one picks it up, I think I can do it. Since I have, partially, done the alignment of some of those things for the F-86 skin I made.

Nice finally a 9th airforce bird =).

Hope to see more 9th airforce aircraft (51,47 and 38) as the 9th fits better with the map (Since they were the onces being based on the continent where as the 8th was based in the UK)

How about this?

P-51D #44-14010 'Chicago's Own' flown by 1Lt. Fred Warner, 356th FS, 354th FG, 9th Air Force. France, October 1944. 

 

This plane eventually found itself in the hands of Capt. Gordon McEachron and the 353rd FS. While flying this plane, Capt. McEachron was downed by German anti-aircraft fire near Edesheim, Germany on 1 December 1944. After making a crash-landing without serious injury, McEachron was captured and remained imprisoned until the end of the war.

There are so many variations that... I'm a bit lost. Which one is the correct one? Then I found this picture, and it differs, slightly, from the one I'm painting. 



Ignore the alpha transparency issue + the metallic look(those are left for last)... 

[336th_Ripper*]

@DrJester I am no expert on that plane but that black and white image reveals two tones in the nose ( your yellow and black) but not the tail, so I assume that picture was taken when the tail was bare metal and probably at sone point it was painted yellow. You’d really have to research the history of it to be 100% certain. The net is littered with slightly different paint schemes for so many planes, and that does not necessarily mean that one is right and the rest are wrong, but more about at what priod in time are they capturing the paint scheme.  And some might simply wrong. 

 

FSX made a recreation of Happy Jack Go Buggy with D-Day stripes on the nose but I am painting it as it appears in my photos further up in this thread after I did some research.

 

Release two versions dilema resolved ?

Ha! Good point! Hopefully, I can do all this tomorrow + fix a few bugs on the skin. Otherwise, I will only be able to release it on Monday next week. Since I will only be able to get back to it on Sunday. 

My custom nose art manage to sneak in on the alpha and I only caught it ingame haha

I'm working on Mr. Ted, does anybody know if the artwork was on both port and starboard? I couldn't find any pics of the right side.

From my readings, most nose art was on the left side as the pilot usually mounted the airplane from the left. I'm sure there were exceptions.

if you accept my opinion I would say that it has too much shine in the metal, the original is a matte metal and the fonts you have used are not very exact to the originals, if you can use the ones I have pasted in the previous post or if you need them I can pass you the vectorized files, anyway the thing goes very well !Congrat bud : )
