Title: How to check ur plane in game?
Post by: SFRT - Frenchy on March 08, 2014, 09:40:38 PM

I'm working on a D11 skin. I can see it with the skin viewer. (btw how do u zoom?). Last skin I made long long time ago, u could see it in game in the offline arena.

If you have a text file in the skin folder saved as the name of the plane (what you want it to be called goes into the text file), then you can view it offline.

To zoom in skin viewer is hold Shift and right click. Ctrl and right click to move the plane side to side.

Thx Playah, appreciated.

Nevermind, still can't figure out how to see it offline. I do have a folder P47D11_2 in the skin folder with all the stuff in it, including P47D111.bmp

Do you have the file that Dragon Tamer described in there? A text file called p47d11.txt that contains a description of your skin i.e. "123FG/456FS by Frenchy". This description appears in the offline game's hangar screen drop down skins selection box. This is the only file I can think of that would prevent you seeing the skin in the game but still allow you to see it in the viewer.
