Mostly eveny MA squads base on som historical values or units, correct camo and markings will be enough for all.

About fractonisation u can make another topic;)

There's nothing historic about KOTH, Ramzey, nor the anual rumble, nor Exile's dueling and squad ladders; and it was that type of event I had in mind, not historic scenarios or snapshots. I know _you're_ in an historicaly based squadron, with a corresponding paint scheme which you're proud to wear in events, especialy historic events, but I can't see why some of the MA squads such as "Animal Liberation Front" can't paint their 109's as Friesian cows for a Squad rumble in the DA....... (there I go again, giving Wilbus ideas..)

There's a film of a French squad doing an aerobatic display using Forgotten Battles software out on the internet somewhere. They're flying Fw in some display markings of their own. The film is stunning (it's been posted here), and I'd love to see an AH version.

I will stand on historical skins anyway;)

Your points about KOTH and squad dueling is quite resonable, that why Pyro write. But thats not mean something weird;)

As I said, there is a criteria that must be met for us to admit a user submission. Basically, it must be something that we would add to the game ourselves. A skin may not be added for many reasons- quality, historical accuracy, redundancy, adherance to standards, usefulness, sensibility, and representation(i.e. a pink polka-dotted B-24 might be historically accurate as one did exist, but it is not representative of B-24s as it is a unique eccentric specimen nor is it useful and would not be a paint scheme that we would use). We'll talk about all of that when we get there. [/b]


and i saw this areobatc group, thy not have cow or sheeps on wings, just nice painting

This one was in my AH wish list for a very long time :) Seems time to look for 9giap color plates for la7 and la5 :)

WTG HTC, seems AH2 is getting shape, and has some interesting features in it already.

Hi All:

This is fantastic news! Skins really add a lot to the community game interest.
I hope that Dale & Co. allow only Historical skins into the arenas....many of those user-submitted skins in IL-2 FB look like flying beer cans from TV commercials and would mar the "feel" of the game, don't you think?
I'm sure they'll get around to adding new planes (Me 109K), vehicles (T-34) & boats(Japanese CV) later on.
Er...won't they?
Cheers,
SoloMAW

Swastika / Hakenkreuz ?
« Reply #73 on: September 13, 2003, 07:36:53 PM »
On the subject of skins meeting HTC's approval....

What is HTC's policy on the swastika in user-made skins?  As we all know, almost every LW plane had the hakenkreuz on the tail fin, but the damn Germans have this assinine law against it these days....  

Personally, I think it's ridiculous that the stock AH1 skins don't have the swastika.  Not that I'm a nazi, but if the planes are supposed to look realistic, then they need the damn thing because the real things had it.  And if the German thought police don't like it, they can lump it :D.   It's stupid for the rest of us to suffer unrealistic skins because of some idiotic law that applies only to Germans.  

So what I propose is this:  HTC should accept skins from users that have realistic, historically correct swastikas on them.  And the Germans can use them or not at their own risk.  And maybe some skin makers will provide 2 versions, 1 with the swastika and 1 without, so those Germans afraid of their stupid law can get the "Teutonically Correct" version.  But this should not be a requirement for skin "acceptability" by HTC, IMHO.

Due Pyro words it will be not possible to use online in arenas. Only offline if you like and maybe h2h (wichone will depend from palyer not from HTC).

HTC as company cant do that and not being sue by somone.
