Some changes I've done so far to the aircraft skin, I hope the skinners will welcome them:
1- The side panel mirroring that appears when the fuselage is very damaged is fixed
2- The air intake (the inner sides of it) is remapped differently, now it's a side view instead of a stretched front view, so it is much easier to paint the black shadow in it. Bear with me though, most of it is meant to be black. I'll show an example later.
3- The canopy frame will have the inner sides separated from the exterior side, so you can have the name of the pilot in it (for example) and it won't show inside the cockpit as it is now.
4- The nose is getting some changes, mostly to be able to have a decent radar dome in it.
5- I modified the gun ports a few weeks back so they were carved properly in the nose, this has some drawbacks atm (minor minor stretching) that I am still fixing so that you don't need to redo the whole nose.
6- Overall, the whole shape of the nose and parts of the fuselage have been tweaked. This, in addition to the changes to the air intake gives it a better look, it is not easy to see the changes but it's most obvious from a top view.
7- Wingtips bottom mapping error has been fixed.
8- I've added room for the seat headrest in the skin
And that's pretty much it I think
