IRIS MiG-29 experiments & question

Hi fellows,


I wanted for long to cover the Mig-29 from IRIS, the paintkit provided with the install starts showing its age but the 3D model is still really good !
I dig up from my archives the first Mig-29 template Eagle Dynamic originally released for LOMAC Flaming Cliff first opus, around 2005/2006... Despite being completely outdated in regards to DCS, I'm going to give a try adapting it to IRIS Mig-29 mapping to see how it looks.

Will keep you posted with results. As it will be based o n15 y/o stuff, I don't think they will mind if I release the results, quoting them as original authors of templates used ?

More to come

Cheers

Looking forward to this.
I had started to work on a new paintkit myself a few years ago but never finished it.

If you do not copy anything directly from this paintkit to your new one but simply use it as a template for positioning and redraw everything by yourself I do not see a problem.

After further investigation, IRIS & Lock on Mig-29's mapping are way too differents for a simple copy/paste :biggrin-new:. Starting to redraw everything by myself, this is gonna be long !

I would wager that SteveB has a paint kit.

Some of his paints. Just to maybe avoid duplication. There may well be more knowing Steve, haven't extensively checked.

Steve already shared his paintkit with me 3/4 years ago, it does the job, but I wanted to go further in detail and create a paintkit on my own.
To avoid duplication, I'm going to cover exotic liveries only, so I won't probably not cover soviet VVS at all, or only if the livery hasn't been done yet by Steve.
I have been working on mine for approx 30-40hrs now and from what I get, it is promising. (screenshots to come within 2/3 days, when it will look decent :adoration: )

After some nights on it, here is a first draft :adoration:. I quickly dropped yemeni 3 tone camo to have an idea. Still a lot to adjust, fresh livery without weathering and wears and tears. I have been basically redrawing every parts of it, also, I "MDLMAT"ed all the model files to adjust the spec shine, canopy and VC transparency etc....

Thanks Huub !
I didn't change anything on the AB, however the retexturing of the exhaust nozzles indirectly made it look better

l'iguane, those are beautiful repaints. I especially like the Polish commemorative paint with the aviator tail graphic. :encouragement:
 
Thank you all, hawk_sh, RgAtkinson, Anels !

TARPSbird, a painter here did a similar scheme years ago (Jason32) but never released them for some reasons. I was quite in need of one, so I finally decided myself :encouragement:
But yes these low-vis scheme along with commemorative paints are gorgeous, highly motivating for a painter !

Anels, I already have a long working list, will depend on my timeline for N29UB (plus there are no two seater Fulcrums for fs9..)
