Done and done. Hahaha, all good, mate!

 

Dude, that Hawk/Goshawk is MEAN! Love it! Long time coming, brother, and you'd have made some enthusiasts REALLY happy! As per Steam, I've sent you an update on your VT-9 Hawk skin, that'll make it look a lot prettier! :P

If you need anything, just holler!

Loving the hawk skins any chance you could add a blank one for doing reskins?

[Lugi 25]

@Phantom Hawk AFAIK there is one on the steam workshop page in the discussions.

Awesome stuff. Any plans for a Hawk T2? :)

[DSabre 2332]

No plans for T2 here. RKSL is working on a T2

Cool, didn't know that.

For the PC-9, does it use the same template as PC-7?

[DSabre 2332]

quite similar, but there is another template for the PC-9 in the steam ws discussion

[kerozen 187]

Hello @DSabre.

 

Would it be possible to get the skin below but only in grey?. Or get the metal/panel texture used to make it?  Its for the Fiat G.91

 

[DSabre 2332]

That's the texture we have. You'll have to paint over it.

Remaking the seams/rivets is not that bad really once you get started. In fact if you did that -  I could use the seams/rivets for a better nohq map : )

[DSabre 2332]

   

I have plans to update the Pilatus series and to finish the PC-21:

 

This update is partly inspired by Jesters awesome Super Tucano Mod youtube teaser (the armor plates).

Also all Pilatus aircraft will get their UV maps updated so they are not mirrored anymore.

The PC-9 and 21 will have a pilot cam and things like that.

 

PC-9 Cockpit revision (It probably won't look this good in game 😛)

 

Same procedure for the BAE Hawk. The UV layout will look something like above when I am done.

As a consequence all custom textures will stop working. let me know if you have made any and I can grant access to a preview version once it is ready.

[john111 76]

Could this get effective possibilities to do slow flight,like a A-10?  Other Pc-9s or similar is way to fast in a dive to be useful.

The Hawk looks good.

Dev news:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Redid some of the UV maps on my own planes (= demirrored the texture).

 

Helijah's aircraft don't need a UV map remake on the exterior but I may exchange some interiors with the Arma 2 L-39 APL Cockpit.

 

I plan to paint all of them flat grey with faction dependent decals and eventually add some very basic wear and dirt.

Templates can be released on request so other people can make colorful variations if they want.

 

 

 

[ShadowSix 24]

Hey @DSabre,

 

If you've got a full-size reference texture, I'll start making custom textures.

 

Cheers,

[DSabre 2332]

Sounds good. I will make some templates when the uv maps are set.

Might even add a template how to make a config/texture mod as I will reset all textures to one style.

 

Dev news:

bumpier rvmat

 

 

updated jet exhaust effect

Damn bro, looks GOOD!

[DSabre 2332]

I wanted to post some more screenshots but then steam died ...

 

 

Ok, I may included 1-3 paint schemes per plane instead of just a single plain grey texture.

But not dozens like before : )

[Phantom Hawk 44]

Sounds good, can't wait.

[DSabre 2332]

Hi Phantom Hawk,

 

I hope you don't mind that this update will mess up your retexture mod and you would have to redo the textures. Sorry about that. It should be worth the extra work though : )

[Phantom Hawk 44]

NP A small price to pay for high quality textures.

[DSabre 2332]

Hope you are talking of your textures   - You won't see HQ coming from me : )

 

I am pretty much done with rebuilding the exterior of the Pilatus and BAE aircraft.

Since I plan to update this very soon, maybe next weekend:

Texture templates can be found on the mods steam ws discussion forum.

 

Redid the T-28 completely,

    

 

same for the BAE Hawk/ T-45 and Pilatus,

2.5.03. (WIP Sneak Peak Preview)

 

- slowly adding back some armaments

- fixed some physX issues, introduced new ones

- tiny texture tweaks

- I will hang on to the primer look for a while

[Bukain 86]

Wow love the whole new looks on these aircrafts Thank for the work man!

Love playing with new hawk! Will be waiting for new skins 😉 

Oh also aware the exhaust become brighter with power output, new feature if I'm right, love it. Keep up the good work!

[DSabre 2332]

You're welcome. Glad to hear. Yes the exhaust thing is a new feature I plan to put in some of the other jets as well, and maybe make more transition steps.

Not sure about skins. I did change some of the mapping on Helijahs planes slightly (add some parts to the layout), so there would be some adjustments to do.

Too much work and I do like the primer look. I may add more decals, some rivets/details and release retexture templates. Maybe I'll even add some wear and dirt over the next few months.
