2007 Jolly Rogers VFA-103 US Navy Skin

Awesome work dude, but I would have preferred this skin on the F/A-18F Super Hornet

I’m just using that to showcase the MODEX/License Plate issue. I’m sure Bura has some more stuff in the works

I meant the VFA-103 skin on the F/A-18F, haha sorry ^^
But I like your MODEX job on the Tomcat too !

Haha…yeah, missed that. I only just now noticed that it’s acutally the D and not the H. Was the D actually used by the NAVY or did they only start using the F once the Tomcat was retired?
-
It seems to me that the F happened after the withdrawal of Tomcat
-
The legacy D model use (but certainly not limited to) was mostly as a trainer (RAG/FRS squadrons) by the USN, and (still is) used tactically by the USMC. The former VF (Tomcat) squadrons have transitioned to both the “E” and “F” model Super Hornets.

Nikos, I think he already released that skin the thread “Jolly Rogers” VFA-103 Skins (BMS 4.33 F-18 D Hornet US Navy Skin)".
I know that mate, it was just an example for the camo of the external fuel tank and only ;).
Thanks friends. Have a nice flight.
Sorry for my mistake. I’ll correct my mistake as soon as possible (fuel tank, registration number etc). (excuse me for my bad english:( )
Regards.
Oh NO, no dear friend. You didn’t made a mistake!
Just make IF you want also the dds with the external fuel tank as in my last example, means this
And i say again: IF you want. I will be super happy to have also this specific external fuel tank…
Thanks again for your hard efforts.

Lovely skins, but why are you not using the decal sheet for Aircraft numbers?
-
I think what you’re referring to is commonly called ‘license plates’, like an alpha channel that’s put on the relevant section of a jet (stab, front fuselage, wings) with multiple MODEX numbers on a texture which are assigned to that area according to user selection. So for a VF-/VFA- squad you might have sth like MODEX 100, 101, 103, 105 or for secondary squads 201, 203, 207 etc
I’m not sure whether that’s implemented or possible but there was a thread about that topic some time ago.
The alternative of having entire sets of different skins for different MODEX numbers is what I used for this pic:

As you see the foreground jet is 100 and background 110, 100 was in skin slot 1 and 110 in slot 2. Given that we have two slots per jet that solution is not optimal.
…yes, that’s it…only I’ve never heard them referred to as “license plates” at a USN Maintenance desk - only “modex” or “side number”. But that’s it…more language barriers…love the Pukin’ Dogs - nice work!
In actuality each hundred series modex aboard ship belongs to a specific tasking within the wing - so I’ve been told. There can be multiple A/C 100s just not from the same squadron; so VFA-13 100 and VFA-111 100 is ligit within the group.
…and I’ve been in situations where all the side numbers have been changed overnight…which was a real hassle…for me!

I meant commonly called license plates HERE in the texture/3d model world. Of course, they’re called MODEX/side numbers in real life man.
I retract the ‘secondary’, aware of the tasking specific number scheme.
Pukin’ dogs FTW! But only on Tomcat, can’t stomach that look on the bug for some reason.

Sorry, I was too late for this update. :rolleyes:
Link updated on 1st post due some details. (fuel tank detail and registration number error was corrected) .
Sorry for that
Happy nice flights.

I like the Pukin’ Supers, myself…but in general I like the grey schemes, and am not really a fan of the bright colored ones in any case. I wouldn’t want to be flying one of those into a fight…I’d want to be as “invisible” as possible.

Well, Burak (please let me address this way to you), Nikos has told almost all about, as his usual
But ‘almost’, I’ve said - my own just two cents are: well done, mate, and thanks a loto for sharing your hard and valuable work!Take care. With best regards,
-
Fantastic job! But I keep the Original

Fantastic job! But I keep the Original
I also keep the original!!!
In the case that you don’t get it, the new original… :rofl:
Any proofs that it isn’t the original mate?

Excellent skin, is there one for the Rhino as yet (F/A-18 E)?

Guys Jolly Rogers has never used F-18Ds, they transitioned from F-14 to F/A-18F. Its better to adapt it to F super bug.
cheers…
