Hi All,
Just uploaded the textures. Use TR's F-80C, already uploaded, as it corrects all the missing parts. Thanks to him for his time and effort.
Any questions or problems, you know where to find me.
Have fun,
Bub

Hi Bub, looking forward to your latest.

Got a little question...how do you go about putting the tint on the bubble top and wind screen?
I'd like to add that to some other aircraft textures. It's a nice look. [smiley=beer.gif]

Slats,
The tint on the F-80 is built in. I don't know how it can be done. Maybe through the source file. There are some textures that have "glass" textures. You might be able to use something like that. I remember the P-40B, converted by Bearcat, had the bitmap redone so as not to show as much tint. I'm sure it could be done in reverse. Sorry for not being as helpful as I could. I just never involved myself with that aspect.

The use of 'transparent' textures on canopies and windows is usually seen only on much older CFS2 models.

Larry used Martin Wright's utility program called MDLcolor, which is one of many available at MW Graphics. 8-)

OK, I got a good copy of Larry's workup and it is just what the aircraft needed to look great.

The current tiptanks on the F-80C (Taccoli originals) are in fact historically accurate, though they are not as pleasing to the eye as the stock tiptanks.
