Exceptional work, Frank and Rick.
I'm tempted to buy the B-58, like mentioned above, just to see that paint job on it.

With due regard to the original creators, between the VC texture fix and the exterior repaints, it truly is a dramatically improved model. And given the original physical model itself is superb, and the FM quite realistic, there is a very compelling proposition for it in light of all the fixes. If you like 60s era jets, then it's a great investment.

I think that comment finally did it, DL :-)

I know what I'm doing now this evening!

Outstanding metal work, Rick. You're adding extra life and realism to these already great models.

The new textures make this bird look great, considering getting the B-58 for these textures, does the B-58 work well in FSX Steam ?

I run the B-58 with no problems in FSX Steam. I also run it in P3D but I lost some VC click spots in one of the numerous hot fixes that I applied. Might try a reinstall. Great work 000rick000. Skip

So where do I get these fabulous skins, Bobs ENVmap and apparently some VC mods? I own the aircraft, I just havent flown her in awhile. This would be an excellent excuse to fire up some glowing heat!

ejoiner,

I don't remember where I got the bananaBob GlobalENV chrome map from...but sure it's available at one of the standard sites. The VC upgrade was made by me...before I really knew what I was doing in Photoshop...still don't but I'm better than before...lol....the skins in the screenshots here are not released yet...I have one more and I'll release 3 together. hopefully tomorrow. I'm still refining the prototype livery with new aluminum alphas and specs. a new wing diffuse by daveq and edited slightly by me to fit the paint scheme. I'll post a release thread when I upload them. Thanks for the interest! also thanks for the kind words everyone. goes a long way to keep me motivated to learn more. gman has been sharing some tips with me lately and I really appreciate his time and effort to educate this repainting noob.

Once released, I'll be hitting that plane like a screen door in a hurricane ...

Great job, Rick!

Dithered and delayed buying this one but after seeing Rick's initial screens of his metal work, I bit the bullet only quite recently and never looked back. This is one sexy jet - a bit of a "blowtorch" - and a handful to land, but really enjoy the challenge of keeping her in the flight envelope. Only negative is the panel bitmaps are a bit plain - someone helpfully dirtied these up (thanks) - which helps a bit but they could still use some further work.
