the editing man 0 Posted May 30, 2003 Unforgiven has sent us his Retextured F-16's, originally made by Vit. The textures look very good as you can see from the screenshots and are deffinatly worth downloading. screenshot screenshot1 You can download it at OFPBASE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VXR 9 Posted May 30, 2003 looks really good, downloading now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ag_smith 0 Posted May 30, 2003 Has the crappy Vit's geometry been changed or it's just a reskin? If it's only a reskin, here's what I think: I think we definatelly need somone to take care of that. Model is nice, but it has loads of Geo-LOD problems and single resolution LOD. Also some custom gear, canopy animations and the flare system would be most welcome.

TYsiEK 0 Posted May 30, 2003 I don't like reskined add-ons with newest p3d. There's an different way (the way without making new 3d file). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ag_smith 0 Posted May 30, 2003 Do I get that right? Without making new p3d file? How? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TYsiEK 0 Posted May 30, 2003 SetObjectTexture I think it's better solution than placing "new " p3d file with a same model. Better for CPU and memory. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ag_smith 0 Posted May 30, 2003 As far as I know, in this case you'd have to use setObjectTexture to every single face in the model. Correct me if I'm wrong. I do agree it's much better for CPU and memory. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shashman 0 Posted May 30, 2003 Hmmm...certainly nice to look at but not very realistic...Its good if you want to do an airshow,but the green camo was only used for a certain period,and the other camos are from aggressor units and the Tiger camo is for Tiger Meets... Pretty nice targets though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HotShot 0 Posted May 30, 2003 Tiger camo is for Tiger Meets What's a Tiger Meet? Surley they havn't reskinned F-16's just for some club!? If you were aloud to upload images here ( ) i would show the real life pictures of all the plane textures he sent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miles teg 1 Posted May 30, 2003 Yeah I agree... the textures are pretty, but not anything I'd use in a mission unless I was simulating an airshow or Top Gun school training (where as you said, F-16's are used as OPFOR). In addition as mentioned before the chief problem is with the geometry. When last I tried Vit's F16's they were really nice to look at but horrible to fly. Even with AI pilots they wobbled like crazy and looked very strange flying wobbling like that. That is probably the chief reason why few people used them in missions which is kinda sad, because it remains perhaps the most important aircraft in USAF inventory since it's perhaps their main workhorse in terms of air supperiority, anti-radiation (wild-weasel), and air to ground missions. So hopefully someone will fix up Vit's F16's (including the nice looking two-seater trainers he made) and release it with currently used USAF textures. Even better if they made it where the flag and text textures could be customized with a script so that mission makers could easily change the aircraft for different countries.

furia 10 Posted May 30, 2003 A tiger meet is a  meeting done by NATO  squadrons every year where they paint their fighters and some helos with tiger cammo. Obviously this is not the way they go to combat. Btw. I was in last one at Beja Air Base (Portugal) IMPRESSIVE including nice airshow Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jamesia 0 Posted May 30, 2003 I think its good when people re-skin other people's new addons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some of the bases really go all out on the paint-jobs. I'd show a couple of the pics I took of the New Jersey ANG's tiger KC-135 but my scanner hasn't worked since I upgraded my computer.

Shashman 0 Posted May 30, 2003 The Dutch AF always have the most stunning Tiger schemes But my favourite one has to be a Czech AF Hind I saw once... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TopCover 0 Posted May 31, 2003 heh i remember that hind. Awesome tigerscheme. It had a whole tiger alongside the fuselage with white background right? I think i even got a picture somewhere. TopCover Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BronzeEagle 2 Posted May 31, 2003 Another problem with Vit's -16s was that if you walked near the side of the cockpit you ran into an invisible wall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shashman 0 Posted May 31, 2003 Here's the Czech Hind Although it's not the one I had in mind it's still pretty cool Check this Out for more really nice Tiger schemes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miles teg 1 Posted May 31, 2003 Actually did you know that someone made a tiger textured Hind for OFP? I remember I came across it by accident as I was trying to find a Hind addon with U.N. colors. (By the way does anyone know where to find a Hind addon in U.N. textures? At any rate, the Tiger Hind addon looks awesome and it has the Czech markings on it as well. I think it was a really old OFP editing center addon or it might have been at ofp.info. I can't remember for sure. I think it also requires some Czech aircrew that don't come with it, so to fly it you have to put it into the map editor as "empty" and then use the "this moveindriver hind" and "this moveingunner hind" script in the init box of a regular pilot and gunner in order to have any AI fly it (with "hind" being the name of the helicopter).
