When in doubt .. improvise, experiment.
Here is my paint (nothing done to it since the FS9/portover time) . .
Just trying to figure out the logic used in what you did.![]()
Don't try. I haven't a clue .. It is down to Ninjamouse's wild and wacky way of setting it up. In many of my F-8 texture folders there are dozens and dozens of bmps that don't apply to the given texture. That's just the way Carl did it. I just added my own mods and left all the leftover stuff in the folder. I have as much fun flying, trapping etc as I do trying to troubleshoot these kinds of challenges. You need to analyze the situation and then experiment, use trial and error until you see the result desired ..
That said, this model has to be one of the very best FS9 ports and now FSX native redux's I have ever experienced in 10 yrs of FSX. I got the model back about 2005 and it is probably the most plane I have flown.
I guess you did your own "trial & error" as you feed extra bmps in the mystery texture till you come up with something that works.
Exactemente!
GE - Carl Edwards was responsible for the original textures on the payware Alphasim F-8. It is his unique method of putting all the textures for all the paint schemes into one texture folder and have the models determine which texture files to call from it, that has been frying brain cells here...!!

Ah, so, Thanks for this nugget of info.![]()
Be nice to have repaints of one/both - and also a USS Hancock for them . .

I was with them when embarked on USS Hancock and USS Bon Homme Richard. THe one you see there from the Hancock, look at the ventral stabs.
Those 5 migs kills I helped with back in 66/67. The red color looks a bit faded. I don't remember the black used with the red in the checker pattern.
Here is picture of me (Left) on the USS Hancock, the other guy was my LPO (Leading PO). All the mig kills VF-24 made were while on USS Bon Homme Richard.
I knew all those pilots. They went on in their careers to become Captains or Admirals. The story on the Half Mig by LTJG Dempewolf was at first the kill couldn't be confirmed; later on, it was.
