Title: B-17 Nine O Nine available for download
Post by: Easyscor on August 23, 2004, 10:06:16 PM

Thanks lucull.

I'm finally satisfied with it.  The only problem I couldn't solve was the patch on the bottom of the ball turret that maps from the same place as the radio room roof but I think it will be popular.  Enjoy.

At video texture size of 128 it's decent but it starts to look really good at 512.  Now I want a new video card so I can see all these skins at 1024 all the time. :rolleyes:

I'd post some screen shots but I don't have a web page.

All files at ahskins are zipped so yes, unzip them.

After you unzip the file you should have a folder named b17g3 with two bit map files and a text file inside it, put that folder in your C:\Program Files\HTC\Aces High II\skins folder.

Give a yell if you have any problems.

Title: Template?

Hey Easy, it looks great.  I was wondering... did you happen to create a multi-layered template which would make subsequent skinning easier?

Nope, it was done in MSPaint with the smudge effect in GIMP.

I think you'll find it very easy to convert.  Look closely at how I did the panel lines, one click will change it to anything you want.  Plus most of the basic colors are all the same and listed on the skin itself.

btw, did you notice I signed the fuselage at the wing root?  My personal contribution to the skinners.  Add your name beside mine when you do your skin. :)
