thanks YoYo - the problem is only when the 'nobombs' model is selected, otherwise your paints work as before...

Yes, but in this skin of US Navy I did special shift for 1.1 on the right side of fuselage. Now I must back it again.
A bit OT, but yes, Tim Conrad made a nice Kingfisher.
And a big Ditto! on the C-46!
Cheers,

Yes, but VC looks not very good now: http://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/Attachments/up1/87310.jpg . It's a old model.

Bomb rack residue
That works for the most part however, when viewed from underneath, notice that the bomb racks are indeed gone but leave a little hint of where they once were. The stock clean liveries have a clean smooth appearance under the wing with no hint of any bomb racks. I suppose the painters will have to touch up what they have released before this Bombs/Clean revision came out - am I correct on that?
The wings on the nobomb models use a texture called AH_F3F_WingsB_t. To make the wings appear on the Gulfhawk texture, for example, you need to copy the wings texture tile and paste, renaming it adding the suffix B.
The no bomb wings have the shadows removed for the gun camera and bomb gear.
In fact anybody repainting needs to bear this in mind.

Easy to fix it (see below).
Ok. here is one update of 6-F-4 US Navy for 1.2v (You need this skin 1.1). Just add this new textures (some need overwrite it) + add next fltsim number to Your aircraft.cfg.
It will be upload to Avsim/Flightsim soon but You can take this update now here too:
(note: the new link with small update2)

I've been good bud. Glad to have this bird in my hanger. Always loved the lines of the interwar planes, and especially so the F3F. I grabbed the update. Thanks! Pretty straight forward plane to fly, which makes her a hell of a lot of fun for sightseeing. Keep it up bud. I'm eyeing that Globe as well.Hi Cody, how you going mate?
Well, it's been uploaded so, anytime very soon on the upgrade - should be today at our site. Just Flight will be a little longer asit goes through a different process. We'll upload there today.

Repainting a clean wing
I would appreciate info on what file would I use from the F3F folder to make a clean wing - I already know about which file to use to visually remove the bomb and rack, but from under the wing,
you can see a trace of where the racks were.
I already know what Baz said in previous thread about this:
"The wings on the nobomb models use a texture called AH_F3F_WingsB_t. To make the wings appear on the Gulfhawk texture, for example, you need to copy the wings texture tile and paste, renaming it adding the suffix B.
The no bomb wings have the shadows removed for the gun camera and bomb gear."
But after doing all that ^ you still have underwing that looks like ^.
So what file is used to color out the areas where the racks are? Or better yet, what file needs to be changed for a clean wing from below look?

If that's the F3F-3 repaint, then the author needs to update AH_F3F_WingsB_t.dds file. You can use texture.1 "WingsB" for now which has the red strips but with white borders though.
Yes, the 0976 will be released when done.

Fixed sorta
Well, I messed around with paint and managed to fix or mask that clean under wing dark smudge of where the bomb racks were and edited the file
AH_FEF_WingsB_t.dds
It's not the best looking but for now, IMHO it looks better then what it did. I got a hold of someone who is gonna try to dress the under wing detail a little better then I did.

Mod to TeiscoDelRay's VF-5 to camera bomb racks
I managed to change TeiscoDelRay's VF-5 remove the bombs and cameras and also removed the dark smudges that remain when you attempt to remove same.
Here is his plane in original format.
http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/local_links.php?catid=187&linkid=19609
Now I find out that when you do decide to remove those goodies bear in mind they will be removed however, I noticed that there will be some dark smudges
where those items were, I ask the author if he had any intentions of converting this to a clean version an he responded with a negative and advised me to
color them myself - so I did.
I tried my hand at making the area where the camera once was blend in with the rest of the yellow areas.
