Post by: Krusty on March 19, 2008, 03:12:43 PM: This is MOST welcome!!!

I'm assuming it's only a graphical update, though? No change in how it flies?

However it flies, it looks much better! I definitely have to hit that for a week straight, now!

Post by: Larry on March 19, 2008, 03:20:19 PM: If any of you guys have the new high res file for it I would love to start reskining my 152 while I wait another two and a half hours.

Post by: Baumer on March 19, 2008, 04:01:20 PM: Could be just between my ears but, it seems to turn better at low alt.

Post by: moot on March 19, 2008, 04:35:40 PM: "Save default skin", and then where does the file you want end up? I get the old default one in \skins\ta152h .
Title: Re: TA 152 Looks Great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Post by: Krusty on March 19, 2008, 04:38:02 PM: It should be in there, but it may be named something else. Look at the other default files it gives you. I just use windows image preview, and the "right arrow" key until I find what I need.

WOOT, Bubi!

Post by: Pyro on March 19, 2008, 04:48:17 PM: This was a late addition that I forgot about in the readme, but a big thanks goes out to Fester and Airmess for the terrific skin.
Title: Re: TA 152 Looks Great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Post by: moot on March 19, 2008, 05:14:30 PM: I love it.

I can't find the new default skin, though. Do I have to delete the ta152h skin folder?
Title: Re: TA 152 Looks Great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Post by: Xasthur on March 19, 2008, 09:26:51 PM: Have you downloaded the new Hi Res pack?

I've got the new one but it's 512 x 512 for some reason.
Title: Re: TA 152 Looks Great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Post by: moot on March 19, 2008, 10:00:04 PM: Yep, hires pack installed.
Title: Re: TA 152 Looks Great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Post by: Krusty on March 19, 2008, 11:26:54 PM: I just wish the entire skin didn't look like it had a white layer over the whole thing set to 20% opacity....

Other than that, it's a welcome change from the old form.

P.S. I think it's better to leave the swastika off than include a black diamond in it's place.
Title: Re: TA 152 Looks Great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Post by: Xasthur on March 19, 2008, 11:43:24 PM: I think it looks good with the diamond.

190s just don't look right without that big old Swastika on the tail.

They were so big on the 190.. it's so much to leave out.

Anyway, fantastic work on the 152.

Very pleasant surprise.

Post by: MotorOil1 on March 20, 2008, 10:32:09 AM: The 152 has been a really underutilized plane. Hopefully the update will bring a few more in the air.
Title: Re: TA 152 Looks Great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Post by: Stratocaster on March 20, 2008, 10:34:13 AM: What would bring a few more into the air would be the addition of players who actually attempt to fly over 1k :rock

Title: Re: TA 152 Looks Great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Post by: Krusty on March 20, 2008, 01:08:58 PM: I think the color selection on the early skin was better than on this one, but there's no denying the improvement of moving from 256x256 to 1024x1024 texture resolutions!!!!

:O

I'm not a fan of the skins that look washed out with no contrast/definition. It just looks like a opacity filter was dumped on top of what otherwise might look like a good skin. On the other hand, that's good incentive to make my OWN skin for it, eh?
