I figured I should make a topic about my current project.

The Acceleration Hornet has sparse bump maps and really awful specular maps (the aft fuselage one is even inverted compared to the others for god knows what reason).  I'm remaking the exterior textures to replace the default schemes from scratch, putting every panel line and rivet on the bump map, making oil and residue stains on the specular map, and making new textures that are more accurate in terms of both mechanics and markings (aircrew warning markings, Long Beach font, better-defined USN two-tone scheme, etc).  The first pack of textures is available here, including remakes of the default USMC, USN, and desert aggressor schemes (desert aggressor is changed from Omars to NSAWC, just because I couldn't find good references for VFC-12 desert schemes).

Here are some pictures of the textures from the first pack.  I'd directly post them here, but the 1024 pixel limit is too small to show details:

The next package will be RCAF, SPAF, and RAAF schemes, followed by some new real-world schemes and Ace Combat stuff.  I'll post previews of the new schemes here, and please let me know what you think of the first pack if you try it.
