[TRIPLESIX]

Attention Solo Display Pilots!

This one didn't make it in time for the release for the F-16D, but I think it is a MUST for every showpilot out there! :jump:

I just uploaded the file at flightsim.com, so it should be available soon!

The paint was done with the upcoming paintkit, so all you repainters: get ready, everyone else: start drooling! ;)

Keep rockin' the skies!

Excellent paint !

Will there be a chute equipped F-16BM/MLU added to the package?

Thanks
Dag

[ZsoltB]

Excellent work, but it does not fit the Block 50 type!

[Txmmy83]

:icon_lol: I know, it doesn't fit the Block 50 D-model.

I still thought I should not keep the paint to my self, as it is one of the most awesome paints schemes for the F-16, ever! :)

Dag, at this time there are no other models in developement.

Mr. Mike H.,

When you're done with the Paintkit and update paints package, would you kindly make an announcement for those of us waiting to purchase a completed, "Bug-Free"/SP Fixed, version? Thanks!

Also, this re-paint looks as good as Aerosoft's...Nice work! I like the higher res (4096) textures myself.

[jetstreamsky]

Superb job, I'll be getting that ASAP

Thanks

[peter12213]

Class repaint I agree, the best for any f16!

OK Michael, still, the F-16D is an outstanding package and this repaint looks very very nice, no matter. Looking fwd to doing some two seater paints as soon as the kit is out. I sure hope it will be soon, and I hope the layers include the "rendered" shadows that you have so masterfully done. I cannot do them at all !
How are they done btw, do you do it directly in 3DSMAX and they become a layer in the texture PSD ?? Or am I completely off track here ? Stefan did some similar ones on the AS PBY.

Thanks

Michael,
sorry but I have a question about the underwing roundels on your paint. Are they facing the right way, because it looks to me as if they need to be flipped to match the orientation of all the others ? Hopefully one of our colleagues from the Netherlands can confirm the Air Force rules that should apply here, even if it means my comment is totally out of court,
hope that helps,
regards,
Ro

Thats one nice paint thanks im flying it around now :ernae:

[calypsos]

Nice! I saw this aircraft 'in the flesh' about 10 days ago at Malaga airport, I thought at the time it would make a nice repaint subject, albeit for the single seater variant.

Hey Ro!

This is a little embarrassing... :redface: You are absolutely right, the underwing roundels are fliped. I have no idea how that happend... :icon_lol:
That's probably what you get when you spend 3 full days drawing and aligning the lion texture. You just have eyes for that...


Dag,

baked shadows are done in 3DS, they are a layer in the PSD file. They need some editing, though it's not just "click and go".

The basic concept however is very easy: The closer one part is to another, the less ambient light reaches it, the darker it is.
Thats why it is officially called "ambient occlusion".

Cheers,
Michael

[Meso]

looks wonderfull!

Although the demo team used a F-16 BM to train earlier this year and had an orange roundel on the right wing as seen in this video.

Thanks for explaining, I had a vague feeling this was the case with the shadowing. The technique definetly belongs in FS. We had very little of it on the aerosoft and on this one you did it really shows the benefits. It really shines:-)

Thanks

My I ask for an request Dag?, The '692' of 338 Skv, in the Artic Tiger Meet markings. At this moment it's participating in the Tiger Meet, Held at Kleine Brogel AB. I saw it last Friday during the spottersday together with the '692' airframe.

I know, and also hope that Michael will do an EPAF B-MLU package later on, but do not mind if it's not the correct model version.

Thanks anyway

grtz,

Lenny

We'll see Lenny. I have pretty good reference on it, including the tiger-segments on the fuselage etc.

Thanks

Really beautiful paintwork Michael! The scheme is af course already very spectacular, but you have captured it excellent!

For those who want to do some additional reading about this demoteam; their site can be found here; http://www.f16demoteam.nl/

Lucifer makes nice textures as well as nice planes.

[peter12213]

Yeah you can't beat "Sheik" for a good F-16 display, I saw it earlier this year and to me it was the best display there at Sunderland the only thing that was better than seeing this was the Vulcan!

[MenendezDiego]

How about some Israeli paints already :ernae:

[peter12213]

Yeah without doubt the best Iris F-16 repaint to date mate, great job Triplesix!
I'm really enjoying this alongside my AS F-16AM MLU,

This is the AS one by TAFKAM below, is a great match and I'm going to get them both together with my mate Anton and have real fun and post the results, thanks a lot for this great paint mate!

Michael,
sorry to hear that, though it's good to know that even the best make the occasional mistake ! Are you planning on releasing a fix by any chance ?
thanks and regards,
Ro

[TRIPLESIX]

Thanks everyone! :ernae:

Ro, yes, I am looking for a good way to get the texture with the flipped roundels out. I can't say when though, as my real world job keeps me very busy this week...

Huub, I will leave the J-055 texture for other repainters, I'm sure someone will do that one once the paintkit is out!

[rohan]

Michael,
thank you muchly for the update - I'll be checking my six for the patch ...
best regards,
Ro

Nice shots....and for 3x6...well done..however for me its a paint that has to be on a F-16A/MLU..but im sorry, can't help being a nitpicker!
Not bad....as well as Dag already questioned....why did you guys didn't make a B model..the panel doesn't matter but the model would be nice...thats my only miner point on your product...

[peter12213]

Your right Tafkam mate it is the F16A MLU and not the AM, my mistake!

[TAFKAM]

no prob Peter...sometimes they say AM or BM as well...so nothing bad there!

[peter12213]

No you know its your Jet mate, its the F16 A MLU (like you said) and you seen "Sheik" he's wearing the JHMS in it to now, he's scraped the personalised helmet .... I want to buy his old DOME too lool !!

So technically guys this Jet even though its the IRIS D and not an A, MLU the IRIS is more accurate because the AS model does not have enough power and the helmet is now wrong!
