I will just leave this here for reference since nothing has changed on these skins other than the addition of the normal map and the spec/enviro/power maps.

It's possible the new graphics engine is tweaking your colors.  I noticed this during my conversions.  It may be the way the E map interacts with the Diffuse or something.

Well that is odd, those old F4Us look a little purple to me too, and so does the the aircraft carrier - superstructure and hull.

I'm using #1 from Warbird Depot, the TBM in full NAVY blue as my desktop this month. On my desktop it is the correct deep NAVY blue. Your screen captures go into purple while my downloads viewing in an art program, the first one is blue, the rest start shading into purple as you increase the weathering effects.

Maps not done for S/E/P

That's gonna' look good when you get it Spec mapped.

I;ve been waiting to see this bird - my hands down favorite among all of Fencer's P-51D skins. 

It already looks good even without the benefit of the spec, env, and power maps so I expect it to be even more of a knockout when their effects are added.  I hope you are able to work out something with Skuzzy to free up a '51D slot and  get it into the game.

I think the skinners should have some say on purging out the lesser skins when a roster is full. There are quite a few old P-51 skins that look awful by today's standard. No sense keeping them in when there are quality skins unable to be used.

And that adoption thing needs to get going, too, so we can salvage those that can be converted.   A number of them can be saved with a little updating.   

I don't understand the limit on slots.  Skuzzy made it sound like it's a global limit.   Is it impossible to code five more slots for skins that are full now?

[Skuzzy]

It is a global limit.  It is the nature of software to define the resource usage(s).

Right now, skinners can adopt a skin.  Just let me know which one you want to adopt, and I can manually make it happen.

Right on!

Once I master the spec files for these two Ds I will look into adopting a couple Mustang orphans.

Submitted all 5 of my F4UDs this weekend as well as George Preddy's P-51D update and the new JG26 Fw190D9 is going in next.
