Author Topic: F4U-1 Skin Mapping (Read 768 times)

The F4U-1 has a VF-17 Jolly Roger Flag on the cowling, which is mapped as a flag shaped bmp from the skin file. Is there any way to remove this mapping, or make it transparent to avoid odd reflections from this part of the skin, as not all Corsairs had a flag shaped insignia on the cowling?

you could try painting the bmap the body colour of the cowel and see how that worksmight have to adjust the shade.or fine the file that goes with it and block it out

It is mapped to a part of the F4U11.bmp file, which contains the fuselage. I have cowl artwork that is partially obscured by the flag. I have created a bmp to fill the space, but it is tricky as the resolution is different. That being done, there is still the issue that the flag area reflect differently than the rest of the cowling. Is there a way to add an alpha file for the fuselage?

Use the transparancy coloring. _a.txt
