About F-15E and F-15SMTD Drop Tanks
Hey all, I hope you've been enjoying the new Experimental Aircraft Set DLC!
I've been mulling over how to deal with drop tanks for F-15E for quite some time now. I really wanted to integrate the drop tanks UV map onto the aircraft texture space, so the drop tanks textures can change along with the aircraft texture when a different skin is selected.
F-15C and F-15J textures have spare UV map space near the bottom, which provided ample area to relocate the drop tank UV map while retaining
decent texel density (Bigger UV map space = greater texel density = sharper texture quality).
Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for F-15E, and F-15S/MTD. Both aircraft's UV map space is almost fully utilized, with F-15S/MTD offering no spare ...
