Oh my god!!!! Custom Skins for planes!!

[SFRT - Frenchy]

It's not a bug. Everything on the airplane is exported. The guages are part of the airplane, that's why they are exported.

If you export 2 planes, the guages will be the same because there is ONLY ONE file name per guage while the plane skins have various names.

erm, can someone make me a dark violet (eggplant violet hehe) 38 skin?


always wanted to see one painted like that.

Started working on the Bf109F-4/trop scheme for mor experimenting. I seem to notice that there is a potential problem with texturing in the "older" models. Once again, I couldn't locate the area which is assigned for the spinners on the Bf109F-4..

 which, after experimenting with the P-38L and the Bf109F-4 leads to the conclusion that the "older" models have areas which aren't textured at all. The 3D model for the P-38L seems to have been made in the color white, and thus, some of the areas remain white even after re-skinning. The Bf109F-4 3D model was probably made in black, and the spinners aren't textured, so it remains black.

 A small setback, but since its been only a day I've been doing this, I might be wrong

is it possible to place your own face on the pilot like in IL2 with a digital image?

Anybody figured out how to get good paint brush results in Paint shop pro? Mine only wants to make the oppacity to large dots instead of the normal paint brush effect.

Somebody skin my BF-110 with the shark mouth  pleeeeaaaseeee!

The old models' textures suck

The new ones are a lot of fun to play around with. You can really see the improvement.

Here's a 'desert dora' I made. Basically a recoloring of the d9 skin with some more weathering and a few subtle changes.



I really want to start making historic (and not so historic) p-38 skins, but that will have to wait till the 38 model gets fixed.

can some one make a small tutorial please?

[Wilbus]

Tutorial for what? Making skins? I'm guessing it's just alot of training and and try alot.

Wilbus... my guess would be to get the file out of 8-bit mode and into 24-bit (indexed to RGB... or whatever the PSP wording may be)

And save back down to 8-bit when finished.

CC, change it first to RGB mode and 512x512.

 Then do whatever you wish with it. Sometimes, more "simpler" tools like MSPaint can help in "simple" jobs.

 After you've finished, reduce it to 256x256, back to indexed color mode and save it in 8bit BMP.
