Next skin pack to be released?
« on: October 02, 2009, 01:56:18 AM »
When is the next skin pack going to be released? I thought I remember reading Skuzzy was going to release 1 new pack a week to catch up, is this still the case?

Been several weeks now, I guess that plan has been overtaking by more urgent needs.

Works for me - I need a bit more time to finish the updates to my P-38L skins.   I wonder how many skins are approved and ready to rollout?

I got a bunch of under reviews several weeks ago but there was never an update after I got those..  Hes busy on something else probably.

I'm waiting very impatiently for Uncle Cy's Angel, maybe I can pay a strip club in the area to send a stripper over to Skuzzy to speed up the process a little.

I'm not sure what kind of men she (Skuzzy) likes, does anyone know?

Ahem, as long as the B-29 was brought up, I was wondering, as a skinner, how such a large plane would look when the skin bmp has to be 1024x1024 for all the planes.   1024x1024 can show a lot of detail for a small fighter like the Buffalo, but the Superfort is montrously huge. 

Just wondering how that would affect the ability to detail.

On the latest plane shapes the detail resolution is pretty much directly related to the size of the aircraft. So a 1 dot rivet on a (99 foot long) B-29 would look about 5 times bigger than on a 20 foot long I-16. The B-29 is about 25-30% bigger than the 4 engined other heavies we already have so the detail will be that much worse.

Most of the early plane shapes are spread across two 1024 tiles and have really good detail resolution, the A-20s are spread across three.

I have a batch ready to go and it represents being pretty much caught up, but just have had many, many interruptions preventing me from getting it out the door.  Maybe this upcoming week.

Hopefully the black hole on the Macchi 205 pit gets a re due.

Hoping someone could tackle this 91st Bomb Group beauty. I don't have the patience. :D
