Nice, nice. Step in right direcion IMHO.

Would be nice if HTC makes a next step, and make a skin for each plane type attached to each field. This way it would be possible to make planes with group markings and camo. Great of immersion.

I haven't had a chance to play with it yet... but

Whats the texture file sizes? 256 x 256 ?

And how many texture files does each plane use? Two I would guess.

a lot more than two.. it depends on the Aircraft.

66kb each

Hey Kweassa... I made a quick olive-drab B-17 last night. Did you notice that the P-38 still had a metallic specularity after you painted it green? The b-17 sure did. It was green, but way too shiny.

I'm wondering if this is a setting that can be modified.

Run into a problem with custom instruments

It seems, if you change the instruments for example, 109 E4, the instruments for all planes get changed

Not sure if there is a way around it or if this in fact takes away the fun feuture of skinning your own instruments.

Here is a picture though. Copy the address and paste it in your browser.

Looking forward to a nice Herman Graf "red 1" skin on my G-6.

ps) Planes with complex structure like the P-38 seems to use more textures on it.

However, I've seem to have met a problem where the right ailerons remains white, even when no template whatsoever uses such color. Also, some of the protrusions, the leading edge of the wings and the canopy bars are also white. The top of the nose-cowl area is also black, and I can't seem to locate which part of the template is designated to these areas.

this is a much better looking 38 even with imperfections you mentioned. Good job

OK, let me get this straight, you can recreate your own skins? From what I read it has to be done with a map creation. So aces high can create a map with different skins on the airplanes? And anyone can create skins for H2H arena?

I wish I knew how to do that.

BTW, keep getting crashes when I check terrain:(

Sorry, thought it was a yak, had a model of a yak with same color scheme and skies for landing gear

The late war LW pilot needs to be in all black leather overall.
