As I made the three default skins and so have templates for them ready to go I'll be able to produce more skins fairly quickly (typically a few days per skin). Anyone else will likely have to spend a few weeks making new templates based on the defaults. Once Hitech gets the time to update the skins submission site by clearing out the old P-38 skins and updating the old P-38 file names and sizes I'll make a start on doing some new skins.

We all know we can depend on our skinners. I just figured I would post before someone else did.

Thank you and all the others that skin the planes we love to fly.

Well THAT'S a bummer, man! tm "the Dude"

Oboe had just made what would be my regular everyday 80th P-38L skin but it's all good since ENY has consistently shafted me out of admiring it!

I'll be getting back to some P-38s shortly.  I have to update my Red Tail for a photo shoot with OBOE.   We did a test run last week and while the results are not bad I realized my skins have changed dramatically since I updated that one via adoption.

That'll happen after a 3D model update.

Huh?

We have a new model?

Well, this sure wasn't explained very well.

I don't read that forum.   I read THIS forum for info about skins.   And the Private Skin Forum.

Any way, glad to see this update.  It is a definite improvement.   :cheers:

My claim is accurate.  No defense required or applicable.  It is what it is.   Dale can't be everywhere at once, I get that.   No biggie.

I scribbled down all the old P-38 skin info before the submission site was updated so I can avoid re-skinning anything that Vraciu or Oboe skinned previously. Lyric1 asked me to post the lists so he can avoid researching these schemes unnecessarily.

Thanks, Greebo.

I'm pretty sure I won't be re-skinning all the P-38 skins I had in-game before.   Certainly, I won't be making multiple skins for the same FG/FS as I did before, as that was too confusing in the dropdown list; they were all listed with the same name.   I envision a much smaller portfolio of P-38 skins from me this time around.  I'm trying to develop a natural metal P-38J base right now, but its pretty slow going.

I have some new candidates I'm considering from both the ETO and PTO, but my resources for MTO P-38s are slight.
