yeah, the default (at least on the P-47) is 256x256. I was able to get the P-47D-30 working with 512x512 on the fuselage. Haven't tried going larger than that... don't think it would be worth it, but it might work.

one thing I haven't been able to figure out is the dark green antiglare strip on the upper fuselage of the jug (and apparently on the P38 too). none of the files exported with the P-47 include that dark green area. I'm afraid it's something we can't change.

Any 512X512 skins will not be accepted by us for a terrain. Please understand that not all cards support larger than 256

... but definitely build them as 512x512, and size down a copy of the final. Someday they will be fully supported...

Dux is right, its always better to work at a higher res and then size them down to what you need.

I'm curious. What did that 512x512 skinned p47 look like? Amazing improvement or subtle?

Is there a way to send it to other players, or the person that made it ONLY has it. I would like the green P38 and the F6F with the teeth, that would be sweet. I would like some feedback on this. Salute all!

well, it was more a feasability study than a finished product. I'm not that good with 2d artwork.

i spent 3.5 seconds creating htis HOT PINK colour scheme fro the seafire and all spits (supposed to lower spit use in my terrains you can see em from about 3k away as a pink dot)

Does this mean that everyone would have to use metric gauges if the ct or sea arena had a terrein that some one made and thier plane had metric gauges?

I think all planes use the same gauge bitmaps. If that's true, everyone would either use metric or english gauges.

I think its a boo-boo in part of HTC.

My guess is that they had intended to allow people to change each instrumental guages of the planes respectively, in the same manner that sound files can be designated for each plane.

Otherwise there isn't any reason every plane textures include guages, when they are all the same in every plane.

Probably when the guage BMP is saved in the texsrc folder, during build process of the map it gets applied to every texture file which has the same name.

I think what we need is a way to save textures as a group. For instance, the sound folder groups the files by directory. Maybe HTC can help us by allowing the BMPs to be saved in groups?

Pink spit? Considering the direction the game has been going in, Barny the dinosaur is probably flying it.
