Someone re-textured the VC so now we have Russian labels...

We also have a civil Russian livery available:

Still waiting for a Russian Air Force livery, and perhaps some more military ones...

I just completed a flight with the Russian livery. If I'm not mistaken, you may need to invert the alpha on the 03 texture. Just sharing.

You are quite right, thank you for that, I had wondered why there was sometimes a circle in the side of the fuselage.

Also, the author's texture files are huge, 16 mb each.
They can be reduced down to the 4 mb each that the others are
by opening them in Paint.net and then saving them as .dds files.

Or, using DXT-Bmp.....
He has saved them as DDS 888-8 32 bit, saving them as DDS DXT5 will bring them down to 5.33 mb each.
I can see no difference in the displayed textures.

Regards,
Nick.
 
Thanks, Nick.

I also noted that the alpha on 01 may also need to be flipped. It's not noticeable on the model, but it appears that the exhaust streak is not where it should be.
 
Thanks again, I've sorted that too.
Just the stretched thumbnail to fix and they'll be finished.;)

Regards,
Nick

....flying the Colt,
..........looking for new textures,
.............reading forum posts,

My log shows over 4 hours in flight time, and I'm sure most of that was today. No wonder I can't feel my backside. :salute:
 
Just purchased this bird.. It is well worth the money..... Thanks to SibWings and to all you talented painters out there. I too, have a flat backside after flying this plane all day... :mixedsmi:
 
This green olive drab color is very nice, Congrats fro your work:salute:
btw, what mean MIP, NOMIP folder ?

Hi yankeeromeo,
I didn't paint the GDR skins. I don't have 0.001% of the talent necessary for such creations! I just saw them on Flightsim and posted the heads-up here. The author should be able to answer your question definitively, however I believe that skins without mipmaps (nomip in this case) generally provide marginally less detail but faster loading times, whereas skins with mipmaps provide more detail but slower loading times (at least on some systems). I'm sure someone with far better knowledge on the subject will correct me! :icon_lol: Good luck.
