FS skins and BoX?

[93rd Aero, R.Talbot]

So I dont have BoX and was just wondering how the skin situation is over there and how you guys think it may apply to Flying Circus? Is the importation of skins the same as in RoF, as in packs downloaded? Could we start creating new skins now or would we have to wait until FS is out? What do you guys think?

In box you can create your own skins then place them into your game folder.  Everyone who wants to see the skins though has to have a copy on their computer, and the skins are controlled on the server side of the game.  We all have skins for most of the aircraft in Oesau already.

So if on FS i wanted to have a personal custom skin everyone would have to download it? Kinda like RoF?

Yes, only you dont have to wait for a patch from the devs

BoX is: Battle of Stalingrad / Moscow / Kuban / Bodenplatte, etc.

People also tend to call it IL-2: Battles.

Not sure if the templates will cross-over from ROF to FC. I'm sure there will be similarities but details might change. Will also probably be able to do 4k skins (more detail). Current ones are 2K I think.

Im actually sure that they will, simply because one of their selling points is the fact that if you want you will be able to fly a SPAD against a Bf-109 cause the 2 sims will use the same engine
