Very nice and well done, but I would prefer historical skins. 😊

Hola@MiGCap

I made this for my squadron and I’ve posted it here for anyone who’s interested.

Those who know me well will spot a certain FW vibe.

That shouldn't be an affront. I like Your IL-2 GB skins very much! My game folder is full of them! 👍

But I am eagerly waiting for more historical skins for the F-80. 

What about "Li'l Dottie" with the three stripes on the Misawa tanks? That would be very cool!

Love your work for GB and am pumped to see you with Korea.

Great work Julian!

 

Thank you for this nice bird!

[FAW_Tromplamort]

Seeing your screenshot I can imagine that the warping around the nose is a painful nightmare..... Good job Julian!🫡

Hi @FAW_Tromplamort

It takes a lot of work to adjust the text with that distortion on the nose; I did the best I could, but it's not perfect.

In fact, I moved it back a little, but it didn't look right.

As someone who is trying to get a clean curved paint line along the nose...yeah, I feel this. 

[gabuzomeu]

To add text, I took an existing skin  from the game (ungtped) and built a grid based on the characters on the nose

Alternatively, by adding a colored and numbered grid to your skin, you can find how it looks in game.

PRISM from Haluter as been very unvaluable

Wich version of UNGTP do you have? Mine dont extract default skin files as the file are crypted since long ago...

 

[gabuzomeu]

Something called ungtp il-2

https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/41976-how-to-get-started-with-mods/

extracts not the default one but the other historical skins.

Nb: actually it does stop extracting on error at some point, however you get the skins ( donnt remmeber wether from graphics.gtp or skins1.gtp...)

I downloaded all these pretty skins and put them in the respective folders (game / data / Graphics / Skins / (aircraft name)) but they do not show up on the selection menu, only the official skins there.

What do I do wrong?

[E69_julian57]

@MiGCap

The folder paths are correct.
I don’t know why you can’t see them.

Did you enable custom skins in the game options?  

 

Edited September 28 by MJones

[MiGCap]

Customs skins are enabled.

I tried to disable it and enable it again. No change.

I also enabled the mods permission. No change for the custom skins, but the little “Mods” box in the right upper corner of the screen became visible as it should be. I disabled mods and the box vanished.

I suppose for custom skins a new box should appear under the official skins box on the selection screen, is that correct? It don’t show. Could anyone post a respective screenshot?

[E69_julian57]

@MiGCap

No, all the skins you create must be placed in their respective folders; you won’t see the default ones.

[MiGCap]

Yes, I know, they are all in their correct paths.

But I have no chance to apply them. I only see a box “official skins” on the selection screen, no “custom skins” box so that I can change from official to custom like in IL-2GB.

So my question how the selection screen should look like and where this box should appear.

[gabuzomeu]

HI, 

please find the screenshot

The skin is then displayed in the 3D view (and listed but with NO thumbnail)

Did you chek the unzip is OK (you get 2 dds files per skin, same name except #1 added at the end), and that they are directly in the directory (no subdirectory) (replace F84E by F80C10 obviously)

Ah, thank You very much, that was it! 

I was used to the DCS system with all the .dds-files for one respective aircraft in an extra folder named for this aircraft. Didn’t thought about the fact that IL-2 skins had to be put directly into the type of aircraft folder as I used Haluter’s skin downloader for so many years now that I forgot the difference in the systems. 🙄
