Here is what it looks like in PSP (actually it looks better than that but when I saved it as a .jpg it made it blurry)

I tried increasing opacity of panel lines/rivets in the blue area but it still is hard to see at 50% in game and it starts to look bad. I can see it at 10% fine in PSP and I had it at 25% in the above screen shots.
Because these new skin layouts put everything on one 1024 bmp, we cant get the same amount of detail as when the wings and fuseloge were on two seperate images.
I'll just wait and see if PSP9 will make a difference, also I have not messed with the material file, maybe that could have an effect?

Ok that looks good, Just couldnt see it from the screenies. keep it up.

one thing i would try (dont know if it would look good) but on the metal make it lighter towards the panel not the middle.

maybe a white drop shadow on rivets will give them more attention?

look who's talking aaron, do a search on skychimp and pretty much every thread ever posted in the last few months will come up.
This is the profile I went by

This profile is a little different but it does not include the invasion stripes under the wing either.

A lot of times restored aircraft are not 100% historical.
