No names under the cockpit this time I'm affraid. The reason is, anyone can fly any position on the team on any given day/session. This way everyone only has 6 skins to download, i.e. Blacksheep 1-6. If we started adding your name to all 6 skins, and we had 11 members wanting to fly on the team, 66 skins is a lot to ask of Stootn. This way, whenever we start to fly, we'll determin who flys which side-number at that given session. There may be a time when only 3 people out of a possible 6 are flying, so you have to be able to pick and go with a click of the left mouse button. \/

OK I hope this doesn't make too much of a difference. It's gonna be either Y or N if we want to keep the checkboard.

Well, to be honest... I'm not crazy about the checkerboards.
The suggestion of adding some color makes sence if we're talking about watching the show from the ground. Most of the shots will be takin in close - plus it kind of takes away from the idea of ALL Black as the Blacksheep.
Vainspark has made some skins for the P-80 as well, and has promised to post them. They're not Black jets, but I'ld like to see'em just the same.

WOW!
Vainspark has some other ideas on the way.
We discussed keeping the white cheveron on the fuselage. Loosing the white box on the belly and adding an arrow from nose to tail. (Like the Blue Angels)
Making all the tips white and lossing the white flight controls.
Adding BLACK on the bottom of the starboard wing, and SHEEP to the bottom of the port wing. He'll try varoius fonts so we can choose which we all like best.
I really like the font style he's used on the fusalage for Black Sheep.
The numbering and markings will look like Stootn's.
Can't wait to see how they turn out.

vary sexy. You look mavolose.
I like the font Stoot used best. It gives it a real 1953 feel. Vains overall paint job gives is a nice "airshow" look; kinda sporty but not Too flashy.
After watching modern marvels (or something like that) I have a new appreciation for the experimental jets "back in the day". The show was on Edwards AFB I almost got stationed out there when i was in the AF.. wish I had now. Some VERY cool history.

Ah, I like dat! What do ya have on the bottom of the wing? Can you put BLACK <....> SHEEP on the wings?
An arrow down the belly like the Blue Angels would be awesome looking too!
I'm still partial to the font Vain used for Blacksheep on the fuselage.
I love the airbrushed faded white idea. Could ya try it on the wing-tips, stab-tips, and tail-tip to see how it looks?

Looking good! I agree on the tips. They could be less pronounced by keeping them a little tighter towards the tips - especialy on the tail.
Is there a way to get the arrow to run all the way from the nose to the exhast pipe? Even have the reverse airbrushed effect with the arrow where it's black on white at the nose fading and transitioning into white on black towards the tail.
Can that be done?
