Military AI Works

Hi guys,

after getting so much help from you guys i thought i would show my appreciation by contributing to the community myself.
So i started to dive into photoshop and John's fantastic A-10 Here a some results. Tell me what you think of it. Tips, hints and comments are welcome.
Hope you like them.

Cheers,

Edwin

Well done Edwin, I know from our correspondence that you have been learning and working hard on these.

My only suggestion for improvement might be to lower the opacity of the panel lines a tad if you think they are a bit heavy.

John

yep tone down the panel lines some more and you have a winner there, well done

looking good bud .As Ray said the panel lines need some work .But we all have to start some where.The main thing is to have fun .
Don't be put off if someone repaints alot of aircraft .Just look at photos .What looks right is right .
Start by making one good paint.After this change the colour abit .Makings are sometimes missing on some aircraft ..

Looking good just keep at it and things come together in the end but don't rush ..

Mark Walsh..

Looking great and I approve you to start work on the Moody AFB, GA "shark" mouth A-10s (just kidding). Agree with the panel lines and maybe a cross between what you have and "mins" Osan AB very worked/dirty Hawgs.

Thanks guys,

i have the panel lines at 30% as stated in the paintkit. But i added another layer to simulate dirt coming from the panel fasteners, rivets, panel doors etc. But that was a bit too much maybe . I will tone them down a bit or remove them completly.
Still a lot more aircraft to do, but i will get there.

cheers,

Edwin

Try setting panel lines layer at 100 then make another panel lines layer .Go back to the first layer and set it at 4-6 .
Next blur the other panel lines layer and set this at 6-10 and see what you think .

Mark Walsh..

Hi Mark,

thanks for the suggestion. Will give it try.
Just to be sure, i make a duplicate layer of the included panel line layer? And this one i need to blur right?

Cheers,

Edwin

That's right .But make sure that you still the panel line layer . Some times I will change the blur layer to white or even both .At the moment with the US Navy coloures Im working on the white blur looks better than the black blur .Well give a go and see what you think ..

Mark W...........

okay, thanks Mark.

cheers,

edwin

Here are some shot of the layers .
The first two just panel lines and blur lines set at 100 max

The next two show by messing around with the numbers .Ie high low black white and see what happens.

The last two show by changing bits see what you can end up with .Hope this helps ..

Mark W

Thank you Mark Much appreciated.

I'll see what i can make off it using your technique.

cheers,

Edwin

the A-10's will have some WSMG F-16CM company soon !

That's fantastic Ray!
ETAD will look great with these birds.

Cheers

Hi,

its been a while but today i uploaded my Spangdahlem repaints for the JYAI A-10. please bear in mind that it is my first attempt so they are not perfect.
i also included some very, and i mean very, basic flightplans. Maybe there is someone with more experience in making flightplans, that is willing to do some more realistic flightplans for them?

Hope you enjoy them.

Edwin

Well done Edwin for sticking with it and getting there. Just a quick question though - are the USAF roundels so low viz, you can't see them?

I have an older FS9 flightplan

Will there also be a FS9 version of the JYAI SP A-10?

Well!! that's embarrassing. I never touched the roundels. Maybe i turned off a layer in photoshop and forgot to turn it on when i finished painting. I will have a look at it (hopefully soon)
Thanks for pointing it out John.
