NATEDOG / SUPERFLY, pls read

wanted to work on our squad logo some more. in game it's very hard to read the type. But when you look at "flak bait" on the b26 offline, its fairly clear. Is that nose art actually on the "skin" of the b26 or is it used just as our squad logos are?

If it is seperate, is it the same 64x64 pixels with the grey background like our sqd logos? Would it be possible to see the artwork in its origional file?

I'm just trying to get a really clean nose art for me and the boys. eventually i wouldn't mind getting into the texture skins of the AC in AH. <crosses fingers, wonders how much booze it would take...   >

this stuff's right up my alley!

appreciate the help.

Your nose art will appear in the same spot the "Flakbait" art is in. I've got a pic of my nose art right over the default art. Check your squads folder in the AH directory. I've done the art for 2 squads; VMF-115 and Nighthawks. I try my hardest to make my art clear enough so you can read it.

Two examples:

   
   

I did this using Paint Shop Pro 6, and a little help from L-View Pro 2.85. The gray background is RGB 176,176,176 and is transparent. Just like the background on the VMF-115 art. The Nighthawks art has a white background, which is normal for me when working on nose art.

It is part of the original skin, and I can't send the file to you.  Sorry!  64x64 is the biggest they can get.  I believe I made it close to 128x128 on the skin, which is why it's so clear.
