Simply perfect, except for...
-No Pilots name on the canopy rail
-Lets Roll logo not used anymore (placed a little off regardless)
-No United States Air Force on (I assume) each side of the backbone of the Jet.
-The canopy rails don't have black edges on them anymore... purely white (old A models only used to have that)
-Blue paint could be a little darker
Weapons? Couldn't take those off for the shot?
Trust me when I say compared to the rest of the VTB I'm not the one nit picking it here. I think the skin looks absolutely great, but to come in here and say it's perfect in this forum is just asking for it.
Good Job though on the skin!

My 'simply perfect' was referred to the airplane position
compared with the photo! I know that this skin is not 100% as the VTB skin, but it's awesome, and his creator has done a good job. (The skin is NOT my work... I've found it on the link posted in the first post of this topic).
Obviously my 'perfect' affirmation is intended as a 'exclamation'...
The weapons were loaded for the mission, only after I decided to take a picture shoot... Next time I'll unload weapons before start a demo fly

I've tried only online flight with a maximum of 3-4 airplanes , but with very good results. Now I'm only trying some position and maneuvers with the F-16 in 'solo' flight. Unfortunately I'm not in a demo team... For now I'm practicing alone, but maybe in the futurePanther wrote:As I said before, it maybe a real F-16 with the cockpit but falcon lacks the net code for close formation flying. Tried for several months and didn't get anywhere.
...Sorry I should have explained a little more in detail.
Falcon lacks the netcode for when 6 aircraft are close in formation. What happens is aircraft number 2 can being fly off of number 1 and see themself in position. But if number 1 looks over at 2, he'll seem them either too far forward or too far aft. Next all other wingman will see something different, not one person sees number 2 where number 2 sees himself or the same as all wingman in formation.

Argh! This is a real problem... We have never tried in close positions, so now I understand why VTB can't use OF...Panther wrote:Sorry I should have explained a little more in detail.

It seems to be a great bug of the OF software...
I'm sure your skin is the best I've seen around the internet world.Lawndart wrote:Our current skin/model is far from perfect, but "close enough"! The new one will be very accurate though...Razor-71 wrote:I know that this skin is not 100% as the VTB skin...
I'd like to fly with this skin in LOMAC, but I experienced some problems because LOMAC is brand new for me.
Using only OF until now, make me a little more difficult to fly with another air model, but I'll trying again. So maybe I'll be able to do a little something good...
