    I consider an update in 2K a Small Update

    Hello Dutch, very welcome. Nice that you join. Be warned though, you're not the only Dutch.

    The benefit of anonymous skins per Jasta is that the enemy can't hunt for our aces or canon fodder, like me.

    Hello @Pragr, Yes, there will be anonymous for the scouts. It's in the final phase. There will be basically an early and a late variant per A/C with the latter being a bit more colorful. With a Fokker D7 it comes also in a green, 4 or 5 color lozenge camouflage. Now in the FiF paint pack you'll find skins per Jasta with the word STANDARD in the name. Those were the early try outs. I hope we make the finalized skins available in the next Skin package. Those basic skins will be the under layer for personal markings (that is the idea). After finishing the FC A/C I'll start with the WW II A/C. BTW your not a stranger, and if you want me to create a personal Pragr skin: send me a PM with your ideas. I can do the same for the Entente A/C.

    Hello Goat, Your Camel, Dolphin and Spad are also without Alpha I noticed. This DrI looks real nice it's in my inventory already! Are you going to redo the other Germans as well? One by one I like your skins, but when I would meet you in the air, I wouldn't have a clue who I'm looking at. May I suggest that when you look over all your skins, try to put something on it to create a style that everybody can recognize as yours. Like the yellow curl of Luftritter, the sunburst of Hotlead, the red nose of Gen or the red wing of Butzzell.

    As a 2-seater pilot: wow, how cool is that . 3 hyenas against 1 buffalo. This Saturday several of our heads will be on a similar stake in front of the Blue-HQ.
  7. Heinrich
    Thank you. It will be a great skin, I'll do that tomorrow [CET] and send the badge to you for your approval and than to Butzzell. I don't want him to have more work because of my idea @Butzzell okay?

    Nice! I would like to see an Entente version as well. Regarding the green prop when spinning: you're right, I tried alpha, no layers, textures, but I couldn't find the prop location, get rid off or overwrite the green color (yet). To be continued ....

    Something like this: I wouldn't do that, you loose the Jasta 10 identity and more important, you go from a plausible skin to a carnivals wagon. Sometimes less is more. My first skins were absolute fit for Rio, now even the enemy appreciate my skin (will take long time before they fear them )
  10. Heinrich
    No I would leave it like this, think this is good. Maybe extend the black lines over and under the horizontal tail to end in a point before the elevator.
  11. Heinrich
    Before you start updating go for colors found on A/C and in the correct time period as used on the Western Front, even better as used by JG1. No East Front markings and no winter camouflage as this was not used in the West. Maybe better to wait with all the work it will take because we working on a Default/Basic/Standard skin per A/C. Upon that skin artists can drop their personal identification. I know how much time it takes to create a correct skin and I would hate that you have done all work for nothing.

    I know, it's not about my drive I worry. I worry that others will not download.
  13. Heinrich
    And here is my skin set:

    I've just posted skins for Greif. These are the pictures. I've send Vonrd the skins related to the FiF Winter Campaign. After going from 2K to 4K (=do it all over) I'm back at 2K. With mine skins added it would be some 27 skins x 22 MB and that's without the 2 Halbs, Spad and Se5a. I have to come back from this statement, because the danger with such a huge package is, that some players will not download them and that would mean that I've missed my goal.
  15. Heinrich
    Here are the skins for Greif his Alb, DrI, D7, D7F, PD3a, Camel and Dolphin. The 'own' aircraft are in an Early and Late Version.
  16. Heinrich
    @Vonrd herewith the skins of Greif and me, for the FiF Winter campaign aircraft. https://www.dropbox.com/s/jlsphwjmd4itp7w/FiF Winter Skins Greif Heinrich Late.zip?dl=0 I'll post the pictures later today or Wednesday for getting accepted in the JG1 Skin Package. The missing A/C: Fok D7, D7F, SE5a and Spad will be posted separately because they were outside the FiF Winter plane set.

    Your right @Snaggle I don't use it in game either, only planning. With "No operation plan survives the first enemy contact" in mind I draw 2 separate lines (one N and one S) from an easy recognizable point like e.g. the city Lens or the river in 0205 and make a mental note of the 2 directions. With that I can always find back my way to the planned home base /friendly airfield. If I have enough time I put the directions in my custom_photo.dds and stick it in the cockpit. Yeah, I know I'll have to fly without my sweetheart.

    I favor 4K skins, with more pixels it is easier to be precise. The idea of skins is recognition and not "Look what I can do with Photoshop". Therefor I agree with Luftritter, I see no reason to have more than 1 skin per A/C in a early and late version. Maybe the early version can be less colorful but still have the typical identification markings and color of that individual pilot.
  19. Heinrich
    No problem with finding the airfields, orientation and navigation is part of the fun. Take that away and what fun is left for the recon, trench map and pick-up pilots? They already have an inglorious life to live. Maybe pilots can try to use this: https://il2missionplanner.com/#arras

    I like the reds. @Luftritter, you can have my chicken, I'm vegetarian. I like the switching of sides within a campaign, it gives those poor Entente units a chance to fly our beautiful aircraft
  21. Heinrich
    @Luftritter and @Vonrd, reason for raising the question is that I remembered that it was a subject in the past, and because I was creating FiF skins better ask before I have to do the work twice. Not to stir up the mud or create fuss. Funny enough I share Lufts opinion. I agree about the size it takes up in total compared with the capacity of the drive. Mostly it are JG1 skins who are in 2K. Not reducing the size is easier in the creating process and more beautiful. Especially the stencils and personal drawings benefit from it. Has it an influence on the performance and visual effects in-game? If Vonrd is okay with it I’m in favour of going for 4K skins (that said and looking at some 120 2K skins in process )
  22. Heinrich
    Already from Black September a lot of skins are in 4K. Don't see a limit for the size of the skins in FiF? We usually go for 2K, but the outside world? Would anyone not use skins above 2K because of the space it takes on the drive?
  23. Heinrich
    Oh chips, “Shadowfax, show ME the meaning of haste”
