SU-27 skin

FWIW, I do not believe that is a good philosophy to hold when it comes to intellectual property. Are you likely to get sued for using AF property?..no. Is it the right thing do?..no.
The BMS team, IMHO, has gone through great pains to ensure this version of Falcon was not impinging on the IP rights of anyone including LP. And when it has, it sought quickly to rectify the problem (witness the theatre conversion incident).
The one departure that BMS have allowed themselves is the code itself and that may even be allowed under fair use.
FWIW, integrity should trump gratification.
BMS?.. They should have their own policy and what we say shouldn’t affect it anyway…

Gentlemen, chill out please.
Since the 3d model is the same on both sims, i used AF’s skin only as a template to determine camo and a/c shape. The skin posted here, obviously, is not official/copywrited by me. No one is gonna force you to use it if you don’t like it.
It’s just something i made for my own comfort and wanted to share it with the community.

Copper can you re-save to DXT1?…
current skin has double file size, or is it a quality concern???

@RAM22:
I believe I said that.:D
RAM22Yes indeed.

Didn’t knew the exact .dds compression parameters, so i chose DXT5.

I reckon DXT1 is better, since skins in database are usually those.

No, just Bander said me something abouk skin usage. In this case can we adopt FF sking + LODs for BMS…???
BMS will not be adding anything for which we do not have complete permissions from original authors.

Original post updated. Skin files are now compressed in DXT-1 format, as suggested.

ok now we need only a cockpit at the level of the f16 one……eheheh i know it will be very difficult for this to happen…but it will be great if we could have su27 and maybe more modern su35 cockpit…i have a lot of pictures, but not 3d modelling skills…in effect i really don’t even know how it works…

DXT1 no alpha with ‘Generate MipMaps’ is sufficient in almost all cases plus it keeps the file size down for loading etc. If you’re not doing something like high res clouds it doesn’t have any effect whatever…

Seriously and you can as BaldEagle, I was just talking with him about what parameters to use for a certain texture and said I was gonna shoot RED1 an email.
But LO and BEHOLD, you answered my question not minutes after I spoke about it. Thanks Dude.

Thank the 'Gorn I remember him giving giving me a lecture on texture file sizes and loading times once upon a time…
Either way there might be instances in which a different dds setting might be appropriate but AFAIK with skins and textures like that the base setting should do it.

By the way, that Sukhoi looks like one hell of a charmer, always loved the 33!

The 'Gorn is OUT TO LUNCH:D, WAIT, he’s always been OTL.:shock:
It’s for Trees, so I think it will be good.

does anyone have a current su-27 skin swap link?
wing model would be sweet too! -
Thread necromancy. I still have the skin and it is usable for the 4.34.
