Good catch citabria. I spaced it...because I'm a dope. I'll change that as you said. Thanks !!
With the thickness of the panel lines on the rear fuse I think I found something after looking at generic skins or skinners that blow up the original.
While the width of the panel lines there is too much, if they're exagerated, then when backed off they look better for some reason. I left the wing shadows normal for 3 and 9 o'clock views out the cockpit and bumped the shadows up on the fuse. I don't know why but it looks a little better at a "normal" view ingame to me.
Best I use Adobe Photoshop and make a layer for every change I fiddle with. If it's weathering, I'll make a new layer of weathering and mess with it. If it doesn't work out I'll just delete it. If it does ?? I'll merge it. With cowl flaps I probably had 6 or 7 layers of weathering experimentation. When all the experiments are done and the way I want them, I merge them. Two layers, "cowl flaps" R and L.
Glad you guys like it.
