What I want to know, is can other people see the skin? don't worry, I'm not going to spam pretty pink pony skins and stuff, I want to make futuristic tron ones.

for now i think it's only the player with said skin or everyone would have to DL said skin

what about in the future? couldn't it all be saved to one server or something and then the server or whatever the information is stored in sorts out who looks like what?

[Flt_WJCarr 34]

Only the Dev's know that answer sorry

Can anyone explain to me how to keep all the small rivets and other details on? I can avoid painting over them. Is there some way I can place them onto a separate layer?

They stay on if you erase them cause they are on the actual 3D model but you can paint over it with Photoshop and lower the transparency

It's a bit better as it feautures a higher variety of letter and numbers (also the serial numbers with lines, which would be proper for the Corsair).

Someone should make a MiG-15 version of the beautiful skin on this Finnish MiG-17.

You need to move the downloaded file to your C:\WIndows\Fonts dictonary, after that start Photoshop (or Gimp) and it should install the new font automaticly.

Very close on finishing my own verson of the checker-tail shark camo.  Last step is mostly doing back and forth checks for seam lines on the camo and doing some color adjustments.

Yes and no. Some look really nice but the NAVY and Marines writing are not the same as USAAF. Also there's too many checks on the nose!

Well  used this one as reference for the first one: [spoiler]F4U-1DUnit: VMF-312, USMC
Serial: 530
Standard US Navy Glossy Sea Blue painting scheme. Propeller blades are Black with Yellow tips.

[/spoiler]

Anyway I'm not quite sure about the font, it worked quite well and looks quite resembling to my references so far (judging by my works with the Caties and lately B-17G).

[TheHaechi 3,115]

I actually really like your versions. Mine is not historical anyway. it's a mix of late WW2 and Koreans F4U-4s.

[TheHaechi 3,115]

Anyone know what are the bomb bays on the B24 tga files? I can't find them.

They look low-res on the hangar but in-game it seems fine.

Some skins need to have the rivets and stuff textured. It sucks but you have to do them all manually.

I know, but currently game is destroying quality of these skins...

In photoshop it looks normal.

Customs skins templates are all in 1024px. You can take UV map and make your own skin higher res. But be prepared for painting rivets, dirt, scratches and other painful things   ;)s
