No, I don’t know what a transparency in the alpha channel is.
Look at the tail DDS2903 for instance.
Top left you see 2 light grey an area that have no apparent connection with the tail, it’s actually a side of the intake. There is one badge there: that badge appears on one side of the air intake and for it to appear you must make a hole (transparecy) in the alpha layer
if no hole are created, then the alpha will remain opaque and the badge will not showSame for the two light grey area in the right of the DDS for the two eagles (that should appear behind the cockpit)
Andsame for the two smaller light grey area Bottom left of the dds for the two serial repeat on the side of the nose
These are rendered only if the alpha channel is holed (made transparent)
-
@Red:
All the DDS can be saved DTX1 except the tail and both top wings
Top wings, save DTX3
For the tail:
If you have no transparency in the alpha channel (badges on the intake, serial just behind the nose, or eagle behind the canopy) save DTX1 as well
If you do have any transparency in the alpha channel, then Save DTX3If you don’t know what an alpha channel transparency is, you probably didn’t make one and therefore, save DTX1
Additionally to what Red Dog said, you want to save all your .dds including “Mipmaps”,
so I would enable that, … not sure about your “filter” though.
Cheers, :yo:
LSThank you for pointing that out.
When I open 2903 in my photoshop (on a mac with a DDS plugin that is not necessarily the official one), I don’t see those areas :
Edit : Actually I see them. 2903 does not seem to contain that thoughThe skin I made seems to work, I’ll try in 3D tonight, but that seems good enough for me And since I don’t have photoshop on Windows, that will have to do
-
yep, they Don’t all have it.
Nice Have galss skin for the 8th FFW
-
Haha thanks, we loved that skin, so we modified it for our squadron
-
First post updated with :
1. Have glass blank PSDs
2. Dual seat blank PSD templates for the block 40 & 50 standard grey scheme -
Thank you RD ! Those PSDs are really helpful
-
Both first links go to a 404 error
-
yeah, they seem to upload fine, then disappear, probably naming convention or the Windows zipping system, I’ll work on it standby
-
Updated and should work now.
I also added the grey block 52+ template with dorsal spine and CFTs.
These templates allowed to make these sort of skins:
Enjoy and don’t hesitate to post feedback if you have troubles or questions
-
Hey Red Dog. Do you have PSD files for KC-10 and KC-135?
-
Should have the kc135r. Let me find it
-
I finished the skin I need on the tail file but the transparencies are not being rendered as transparencies, both in GIMP or PS, anyone had this issue before?
P.S.: Nevermind, I managed to fix it, it was the “alpha threshold” that was 50% instead of 100% that was not letting it become transparent properly, thanks anyways.

Hi Red Dog - The links in the first port went Tango Uniform again…(404 error).
Thanks again for releasing these!

Hey guys,
the links in the first post are dead.
Does someone have these files and could provide them again, that would be awesome!
