IRIS MiG-29 experiments & question

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..)

I did many Kirk Olsson F-16 textures and found out it was being reproduced and using my hard work and not a single mention of myself or worse any permissions from me.

This is the reason i never released my MiG-29s in the end im affraid.

Your MiG repaints look really lovely, did you produce your own paint kit (like myself) or the IRIS one?

Well the VC is somewhat basic and adapted photo/texture would not fit in the cockpit as it's shape differs a lot compared to the real one. Will see what I can do when I finish the scheduled liveries.

I shall upload all the previous liveries within days from now

I agree that the VC is basic (even for standards at the time). Strange that such an exquisite external model would have such a basic VC.

Hello Jason,

Glad seeing you're still around !
Good fact is, fs2004 is getting old and neglected by people like those taking credit from your work. I only share my paints here at SOH so to avoid these troubles !
I did pick up only the meshed layers from IRIS paintkit then start mine from scratch, quite long. Mine is not really a paintkit, more something like "highly unorganised multiple layers with no name :biggrin-new:

Cheers

Hi L'iguane

Well they look good your work.

I enjoyed the fulfillment of my own paint kit when it was completed..but I'd have to say adding thousands of rivets wasn't my highlight lol

Is this a real scheme or fictional? Must be a rich TV-channel when it can afford to fly and maintain a Fulcrum.

Give or take a Russian oligarch or two, and a lot of things can happen in that country!

Sorry if this is too political.

Huub, Priller,

Yes this is a real scheme, the aircraft belongs to MiG RSK mother company (probably used as test bed)
This scheme got painted this way for a TV show with Kanal One Russian TV channel covering MiG company.

This was so unusual I felt obligated to paint it !

Ain't no oligarch here, it's a Mig's mig :a1310:

Cheers
L'iguane

PS: two ships received this scheme, a singe 9-12 model & a dual seater UB

A small note:

I had some weird ring shapes inside the canopy in the VC.

Then I copied the vc_glass.bmp texture from a different skin into the texture folder and this solved the issue.

This vc_glass.bmp texture file is missing in your new paint scheme.

You're right I missed it. I intentionally removed it as I'm working on for further release and forgot to replace the original one before uploading.
 
Brilliant texture! Really gives the mig-29 a new lease of life. The external model has always been good but no textures have really done it justice till now.

May i make a couple of small recommendations for your paints? I think the intakes should have a much darker shadowing and the fan blades made darker as very little light would get in there.

heres a real photo to show what i mean

Anels,
You're fully allowed to modified the intakes & fan blade to make them darker if you wish :encouragement: I'll have an eye later on this.

JosefK,
I don't have P3D, absolutely no idea wether IRIS MiG-29 works or not in this sim.
If it does, my texture might work on it.
This luftwaffe scheme is far on my working list (at least it's on it :biggrin-new:)

Cheers

I really like the modified soundset of your package.

However when I shut down both engines I can hear them spool down but there is still an engine sound remaining with everything switched off.
Is this supposed to be an APU that is still runnning?

Thanks, I guess I'll have to make the time to test this out in my copy of P3Dv4.

This is an annoying stuff I still have to figure. must be related with an x[soundname] wav file set up in sound.cfg even at 0% rpm.
Remind this is a beta package pending improvement
