The emblem with Pluto is the best!

Added some new paint schemes and fixed a few issues with scaling:

Unrelated, but decided to make an FSX skin out of the maritime F2A scheme:

That FSX skin looks amazing Colo, excellent quality too. I'm a fairly regular user of FSX - how do you generate and apply your own skins? I'd love to be able to do one myself.

Thanks - my first time reskinning a plane for FSX. There are a few parts that are still a bit wonky but the overall effect is nice I think.

This is a reskin of the Team FS KBT F-2 originally made for FS2004 (FS9). I was lucky enough to find a "repaint kit" offered by a Japanese group who repaint FSX aircraft - it included a layered .PSD file, so my main effort was really around remembering how to do non-pixel based work in PS and figuring out which parts of the texture applied to what parts of the model (not as easy as it sounds...). There are plenty of repainting guides for Flight Sim available if you Google but the overall process is fairly simple. You'll need the DxtBMP tool (google it). This is the guide I used: http://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/content.p ... X-Aircraft

Reskinning for FSX is absurdly easy compared to some other games I've tried the same for...

Also, unrelated but the scenery is the Aerosoft Maldives X addon (highly recommended especially if you fly a lot of seaplanes like I do!)

Great, really great.
Have you tried to reskin the F-2 in the fantastic "European One" scheme you've posted ? (That could become a good wallpaper :) )

It was tough enough making the maritime scheme look right (and it's fairly simple). I make no bones about being a texture artist... I might give it a try later on, but not any time soon. ;) I'm not really a fan of that camo anyway... I drew it more as a challenge than anything else, but glad to see someone noticed it. :)
