I've been asked for P-51 skins a few times, but I don't have time to make a template for them. Also there is a thread in this forum asking for 262 skins that has gone unanswered.

Here are suggestions for plane types based on what I'd like to see more of from planes I don't normally fly (I only skin planes that I regulary fly, sorry)

He 111
Me 410
Storch
Ju 87s
P-40s (especially the C and F models) Desert, Soviet, and Pacific theater schemes.
ALL the WW1 planes.

Aren't the P-51 skins full, too?

Currently standing at 26 P-51D skins and 20 P-51B according to the skins page, max is 32 per ride IIRC. In theory there could be some more P-51 skins submitted but not yet released, but I've not seen any shown in here recently so I doubt it.

I'd like to see more skins for both Panzer IV variants, and more for the  T34/85. I'd also really like to see a British M3 skin, I started one with the Mickey Mouse pattern but have let it go by the way side.   :frown:

As far as planes go a French Spitfire, a Romanian or Hungarian He111, a Hungarian Me410.  Maybe some more Dutch skins.

All in all, I'm impressed with what we have to pick from.  It is appreciated!

FWIW... NO MORE P51 SKINS!   ;)

The KG4 skin is finished and the skins submission page said that it has been released, however the down loader is acting a bit wonky so I'm waiting for the skins download page to update so I can install it manually. I did what Skuzzy said to do with the skins folder but in never re-downloaded it...

The Macci skins I'm doing are:

C.202

84 Squadriglia 4 Stormo 84-12
(http://www.aviationgraphic.com/564-1028-thickbox/c202-folgore-prototipo-cc-25.jpg)

73Squadriglia 9Gruppo 4 Stormo 73-10
This one should not be a dark brown, from what I can tell it should be a mid-tone green. I haven't done a lot of research into this one yet.

C.205

Send a request to Greebo. That scheme needs a masters touch.

When the C.202 and C.205 first came out I knew it would be popular with other skinners. So I started this thread (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,346274.0.html) to see if anyone wanted to reserve particular aircraft to skin. Potsnpans reserved the JG 77 C.205 but he hasn't skinned it yet. If he is no longer intending to skin it then I will be happy to do so.

Thanks for that people but I think I am in the mind to do some large skin upgrades, (from 1024 to 2048 sizes) he111 has them I have done some for the b-24 and awaiting release of my new b-17 skins to. What about a 2048 size c-47 and both the b-25 models?

Not everyone works as fast as Greebo. I'm sure he has done at least one skin for every plane in game so he has all the templates ready. Most of us also have a lot going on IRL. Not saying Greebo doesn't, but look at me, I work 10 hours a day, sometimes 6 days a week so I don't have a lot of free time to work on skins. It can take me a couple months to get a skin finished.

Well greebo does by his own a mission not have 2048 size skins for the all the larger aircaft. I enjoy doing them so I guess that is what I will as I said before

Hornet, the reference to me was in regard to the JG 77 C.205 skin. I've pm'd Potsnpan about it and he just let me know he isn't intending to skin it, so I will add it to my list. It is a bit off-topic in your thread so if anyone wants to discuss it further I suggest opening a separate thread for it.

As far as your choice of 2048 skins there are plenty of subjects for both C-47s or B-25s that haven't been done yet, although of those two I'd say new B-25 skins are probably going to be more popular. I'll update my skins for both those aircraft in 1024 res but with bump and spec maps when the submission process lets me. Your other possibilities are the G4M which has a limited choice of schemes and doesn't get used much and the Mossie Mk XVI which lacking rivets doesn't offer as much advantage to skinning it in 2048 res.

Yes I know that about the top half of your post I was only referring to the sizes of skins.

I think I will do the 25's then.

I hope the skin update Finction will come soon. I have just released some skins but already after looking at them a few extra time at different angle ect I notice little error, things which just need to be tweaked a tiny bit, most people just would not notice. If my latest go through I will have 18 skins in the game. I think I will need to update all of them to be honest.

Nice idea but am looking but want to work on a new 2048 skin for aircaft which don't have them
