RNZAF Macchi and Skyhawk

[CDTDAN]

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 Kjølberg, 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)

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

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

Yeah that can sometimes be a problem! Back them up and do them all...see if it makes a difference

it was fine before I installed acceleration, and then the windows went black

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 ...
