I'm intending to do some B-29 skins soon including an OD one, but I have something else to finish up first. However once submitted it may be months before HTC get round to passing them for inclusion in the game.

Load time grasshopper. Your computer has to load every skin, when you run across a plane with it.

Greebo,
Please feel free to tease us with any new skins which you're working on. :O
-
Sorry, I'm not allowed to tease you with what I'm currently working on.
However once that's done I'll skin the B-29 "Sky Chief" for Von Kost and an olive drab B-29, haven't decided which one yet.

Hey Lyric1, I think the top picture is not correct. Ding How was in the 676th Squadron of the 444th. It had the tail number of 16 and 71 in a diamond like the other 444th group planes. This one is showing it in 794thBS/468thBG tail markings.
Another cool OD one to do would be Old Battler. She was Diamond 72.

Nice catch :aok Profile looks to be right but the book is wrong with the 444TH statement.

No wonder people get things wrong when books can't get it right.

I think there are two different aircraft here. Ding How/Hao planes.
The one in the 468th is listed as serial number 42-6358, with the name of Ding Hao. This was one of the three that the Russians stole.
42-6358 794 468 Ding Hao Hennin, Mickish 11/21/1944 (original 795th a/c) Landed Vladivotok Soviet Union and Interred. Thought Lost p55 campbell
The 444th one is listed as 42-6225 with the name Ding How.
See here: http://www.444thbg.org/676thsquadron.htm
I've checked my books on the serials and I think this is right. Not sure what the 468th one looks like, but it seems that the artist got them mixed up.
S!

'Old Battler' is finished. Took a little longer because I came across another tail color scheme supposedly for it but after reading some came up with the correct one.

Who know.
I've been waiting for a skin to be rotated in that was approved almost a year ago (will be a year this May, since I received the approval email).
They are busy folks in Grapevine...

yeah thats true. to be honest, i think skinners should be able to add them to the game granted only they would be able to see them. but it also would allow them to be like soundpacks people could download them and use them instead of waiting for the HTC team to approve them, it also may be better to increase the amount of skins that a player could have. then again HTC guys know what their doing so i leave it to them.

Joking aside, I believe it works something along this lines of this (someone correct me where I am wrong):
A RES file is simply a text file, containing a list of other files. The RES file goes along with your compiled skin files. A RES file is used to instruct the AH server to send the specified files to clients that do not have your custom skin(s).
As most of the objects in a plane remain the same (gauges, cockpit, etc) and only the "paint job" changes, HTC is the one to make the .RES files.
I think... :noid

so besides sky chief and old battler, anyone else have B-29 skins under works?

I don't think I have that much paint left :noid

I've got an OD B-29 called Lady Boomerang mostly done, although I've put it aside for now while I do some stuff for HTC. After that I'll do another bare metal one called Joltin' Josie. I may also do one with black undersides, haven't decided which yet.

Just finishing up one that will be questionable to get in but think that it should. Me-264 Amerika first used as a long-range maritime reconnaissance aircraft and then a competitor for the 'Amerika Bomber' program. Other sims have used the B-29 shell for it. The 264 looks amazingly similar to the B29 to the point I wonder if German spys got some info on it in the US. The only real difference is that it had a twin tail configuration like the Lancanster.

I'm sorry, but I very highly doubt HTC will allow a German painted B29 in game. There were no German B29s in service, nor were they in combat/squadron strength. HTC is not like other sims, like IL2 Sturmovik, that allow historically inaccurate skins on aircraft (IE: Japanese painted Me109s, etc.).
-
Ok, then HTC needs to quit using or substituting airplanes that never were in the location of the different scenarios that are created. That would put a big dent into Events. Like the upcoming RtR Scenario that has a German 110c with multiple nose guns that Japan never had in place of the Dinah that had one gun out the rear. There are a probable TWO whole skins you could do for the b-29, one grey and one olive drab(submitted).

HTC doesn't substitute airplanes in events and/or scenarios. They are
purely run by the community. That 262 skin was probably included
in a player-built map for 'what if' scenarios etc.
