Im attempting to make a JU 88  skin, but I need help as to where the Propellor is located, as I cant find it. I have a yellow skin, but it has defaulted the prop to yellow, when I need it red. Would appreciate a bit of help here. Thanks all

If you mean the prop SPINNER (not the blade) then I don't believe you can control that on the Ju88. Not until it's re-modeled to new standards (could be years).

The same goes for the 110s, and other older planes. You just can't change that part. Unless I'm mistaken, the Ju88 skin doesn't have an area set aside for this.

Actually, you can alter the colour of the spinner on the Ju 88. There is a small patch on the right upper wing that controls it. Trouble is, this part of the upper wing will then also show up as this colour.

My Ju 88 template has a layer showing this and all the other Ju 88 bugs on it. You can get it at AH Skins.

In this case Macleod, I'd just not try to do the spinner any special color. Just explain why, and HTC will let it slide. They usually let things slide if it's because of problems with the skin itself (like the old 109Es were mirrored, the ONLY number you could use was 8, because it looks the same coming and going).

Oh it's definitely not ready for submitting yet. :)

But you'll get there, have no fear.

First, download and install the "Hi-Res" pack on the AH downloads page. AH defaults all textures to 512 with the base install. This saves download time and HD space. The Hi-Res pack installs 1024 resolution defaults.

Then run AH. At the menu select video options, and select "1024" in your texture resolution drop-box. The first time you do this you will have to build a cache, which can take 5-10 minutes. Every time after you should not have to*.

Then go offline and take some more screenshots of the skin. Also, if you did not have the hi-res pack installed and were working off the 512x512 default, HTC will not accept it. All submissions must be in 1024x1024, so that's the size you need to start in. It may seem like a lot of work to redo everything in 512 up at 1024 size, but I've done it before and it's not so hard. You already know what to do, you've done it, it's just a matter of doing it again (which goes faster).



* = unless they come out with a patch for AH and the cache has to be rebuilt anyways
