"Stingers" VFA-113 Skin (BMS 4.33 F-18 C Hornet US Navy Skin)
-
I loved the -113 skin in 4.33. Will it work in 33.1?
I tried installing it with no luck. Maybe texture file names changed?
-
Running 4.33-u1 and inttalled the Hi Res Version and the end of the wings are invisible from inside the pit but the lo Res works well. keep working on it

You"ll have to change the dds numbers on the Burak’s originals from 4.33. Also you will likely end up with 2 license plates overlapping due to original Burak’s skin.

Awesome! Do you know which numbers I have to change? I can deal with overlapping license plates

4.33 …… 4.33.1
2013 -> 3657
2014 -> 3658 3664 -
4.33 …… 4.33.1
2013 -> 3657
2014 -> 3658 3664Please excuse the rudimentary question, but would you explain the procedure here? I have put both the low res and high res files in 4.33.1. That didn’t work.
Are we saying to rename the dds files in .1? Also, what is an overlapping license plate? -
4.33 …… 4.33.1
2013 -> 3657
2014 -> 3658 3664i go to
I renamed the dds files as above, and I now get the -113 skin on the loadout page. However, when I go to enter a mission I get to the page with the 5 segment task bar, 2 segments are “lit” but it stops there and will not start the mission. The Task Manager shows BMS as running. -
I changed Baruk’s 2013 to 3661. That way you keep the 3 other originals in sim. Always backup originals in case you run into a problem.

4.33 …… 4.33.1
2013 -> 3657
2014 -> 3658 3664Why 2 files? which one to change to, 3568 or 3664?
-
In u1 the c model now has 4 skin sets available. In 4.33 there was only 1

Why 2 files? which one to change to, 3568 or 3664?
That was my point exactly, compadre. That very question was what gave me the idea to just rename one at a time. Fortunately, renaming 3658 only gor it to work.
And by the way, thanks again for this skin! -
Good Day, All,
I really appreciate those who share skins, so I thought I’d write and share a “how-to” so others can enjoy this amazing Stingers skin. I mean, jeez, there are grease spots on this jet!- download the skin via the link on the first page of this thread. It was easy.
2)Unzip it and go into the high res. skins. You will find 3 dds files-1974,2013,2014. Keep that window open. - In a separate window,go to-X:\Falcon BMS 4.33u1\Data\Terrdata\objects\KoreaObj Hi res. Delete any and all of the 3 dds files,and 3657 and 3658 you find there. I simply deleted mine into an empty recycle bin until I stored them somewhere else.You don’t _need_to keep them, but…
- drag and drop the 3 dds files from the download into KoreaObj Hi res.
- right click and rename 2013.dds to 3657.dds, and 2014.dds to 3658.dds.
That’s it!
You can also set this up for other theaters. I’ve done it for Balkans- The path to do that is X:\Falcon BMS 4.33u1\Data\Add on Balkans\Terrdata\objects\KoreaObj Hi res, then repeat steps 4 and 5. When I get Korea 2012 working in 4.33.1 ( another project!) I’ll let you know if it works there.

Good Day, All,
I just wanted to report I got Korea 2012 up and running, and the skin mod does work. In fact, it was there when I started 2012 without having to do the procedure, as I had to do in Balkan.
