For those that use FSX, And cant afford (or is not allowed) to by Payware, there are limited options when it comes to Macchis and Skyhawks. For me Denis & Daniel da Silva's model doesn't work in FSX, neither does Massimo Taccoli's MB339CB for FS2K & FS2K2. So I did a complete rework of Ross Yeatman's RNZAF textures from the 2K2 model, and layered them on to Dino Cattaneo's A-Model Macchi. Also I did the same with RAZBAM's A-4K Textures by Jens-Ole KjÃƒÂ¸lberg, and put them on Kazunori Ito's A-4M.

They aren't finished yet, and i cant upload them because of all the policies and all that, and I don't have permission. <_<

Heres the unfinished texture for the Skyhawk: (it needs work)

And the Macchi:

Just for those out there who have been looking for our good old jets. (uploaded somewhere soon) :ph43r:

(if you have acceleration, the windows on the Macchi will show up black like that. Let me know if you can fix it!) :thumbup:

For the black window textures- Try converting the relevant texture sheet to 24 bit bmp using image tool.

Using the DXTbmp tool Timmo mentioned , save as DDS Texture , save type as DDS DXT5 .... again as Timmo mentioned , do it to all files

the canopy texture possibly needs to be reversed ie:Black to white , visa-versa

The Models built .. He has given you a canvas .. Ito's models, so many of them , he deserves a lot MORE credit , so much , the paint/skins are a base for you to work on . Send him a big note of thankyou (he puts so many models out there free ) ask in the forum on how to paint , or even better ... find a real RNZAF Macchi and Skyhawk Photo it - go from there ...
