Edted Omars Blue FA-18 texture.

I had noticed the wing of the FA-18 Omars Blue texture looked "off", it had a front edge that was metallic. In flight when zoomed out it allmost fell away against the background making the wing look narrow and triangular.

(The addon texture for the default FA-18 is: fa-18omarsblue.zip)

I have created/edited a texture before, but that was a long time ago. After a look at the Wing.dds file I decided to have a go at it again.

I had some help from Paul Craig and n4gix when editing. Thanks very much both!

Here's the result.

First 5 pics are the original, then 5 pics of my edited version.

Enjoy!:)

Nice job. It looks like a recoloring of the Aggressor, but they've made that metal bit a bit too dark and it stands out more.

I've seen pictures of some real and model Omars and some of them do have the metal front wing edge bit.

Thanks for that!

I googled that and found (if I got it correctly) that the Omars VFC12 squadron helps train other crews for combat.

The paint job may have something to do with simulating a Mig in combat situations??

(May be that referred to a different aspect of the paint job though, not sure.)

I think I'll add a section to the aircraft.cfg now so I can chose which one to fly.

Thanks for the compliment also.:)
