Thor's Hammer FSX Freeware "Rafale Marine" ! October 1st !

Stefano, attach a picture if you could. There are a considerable number of talented people around here that could make that happen.

Regards, Tom
 
This scheme is used on pretty much everything and will probably be used on the rafale/superbug/gripen NG when the politicians finaly sort it out. This is the low penetration scheme, used on the AMX.
 
Great addon.

One of the all-time best looking models for FSX...superb.

Hooked it up with the default F18 VC ...no dramas after hex-edit of the mdl to 'hide' the nav light.
Added the usual...sonic boom, wing vapour, gun effects ...then started messing with 'setup' such as a 'common' texture file...to make it easier to see which graphics need modding to 'play' with alternate markings....
One oddity appears as if the 'tread' on the nosegear isn't painting right... got a white 'edge' to the tread area...and it's otherwise blank black.

If I get eager I'll create a 2D pit [usually I rig them from a screen-cap of the 3D so the switch is more seamless]...;)

Terrific work from Thor's Hammer, though, so far....;)

In the meantime there are a couple Rafale 2D panels on my website.
Good for background artwork at a minimum.
Use the side menu to go direct to them.

Please share your other mods as well.

Rafale FX-2 Brazilian Air Force

I made some spare time to work on a Brazilian Air Force (FAB - Força Aérea Brasileira) scheme as an alternate to the one by Martial Feron. This one wears green and gray based on the tactical scheme currently worn by FAB aircraft. The unit markings are of the 1º Grupo de Defesa Aérea (1º GDA – 1st Air Defence Group) at Anápolis AFB (SBAN). FX-2 is the current designation for the next generation combat aircraft for Brazil. The aircraft serial number and FX-2BR designation are just guesses.

These should be available here for download later today. This texture set requires the v2.2 update, otherwise the tail will look weird.

Gee, that's an awesome paint. Accurate too. Thank you millions.

So if anyone wants to fly this in Brazil, this should improve the experience, since the original fsx terrain mesh is just rubbish.
 
Repaint Kit Available

Bruno Mérelle (Thor's Hammer) has released a repaint kit for aspiring Rafale repainters. I (and others) went over with him what was needed at a minimum for a kit and so he has made individual wireframe images in JPG format of the textures that are modified during a change of livery.

This is not the type of layered kit you get sometimes with payware releases but it is what developers and those of us who paint for commercial add-on developers start out with. At a minimum they will be very useful for figuring out what is covered on each texture file.

You can download if from his blog here: [url]http://lenclume-de-mjolnir.blogspot.com/[/URL].
Just click on the ">>>>> Paintkit <<<<<" link at the top of his latest post.

In case folks don't want to download the 14 individual texture files I have zipped them up into a single file.
 
Mr Frank, just if you want to get your brazilian livery more accurate, in the text "FORÇA AÉREA BRAZILEIRA" the correct is "BRASILEIRA". Brazil with a "z" is only for foreign people. Here, Brasil is with a "s". :ernae:

Thanks. I was thinking about that yesterday. I'll have a look and fix it. :salute:

For those who have been unable to download this VC-less but otherwise beautiful rendering of the Rafale it is once more available exclusively from the Virtual French Air Force website.

Instructions for adding a VC from another aircraft are provided on the first few pages of this thread.

There have been several repaints already. All that I'm aware of are listed on my website. (Please let me know if you are aware of others!)

And if anyone is interested in painting this one there is a paint kit available on the author's blog site.
