I've compiled a zip file of the complete library of JG1 skins (mine and Hess'... I didn't include Baron's due to the swastika thing... I wouldn't want to alter his skins without permission) and Wing Walkers.

 

I didn't include WW Russian skins.

 

Be aware that some of Hess' skins are 4K and should have the 4K Bumpmap installed to fully appreciate them though you will still see them without it. (The bumpmaps are in his download link).

 

This is a very large file... 9 Gig.

 

I think we need to think about paring it down some. Maybe eliminate those pilots not actively flying. I have a back-up of all files if we ever need to put them back in.

 

Additionally, I have only used 2K skins (I resized the 4K templates to 2K). The 4Ks are awesome in screenshots and really close-up in videos but in everyday use, you won't notice any difference. I suggest we only use 2K format.

 

I'm not sure if there is going to be a server issue with all these skins... Kleigmann? Wing Walkers?

 

That being said, here's the link to the zip:

 

https://www.dropbox.com/s/tbuvr1dh2ec5mqg/skins.zip?dl=0

 

Once again unzip to C:\Program Files (x86)\1C Game Studios\IL-2 Sturmovik Battle of Stalingrad\data\graphics (or wherever you have the game installed) and let it overwright if it asks. 

 

Alternatively, just unzip into a temp folder and copy them over.

 

EDIT:

 

As of 11:00 PM Pacific time it's showing 3 hours to go for it to be available from my Dropbox.

Looks like the link is bad. I'll check it when I get home tonight.

Thanks for all the efforts Vonrd!  I really appreciate, as does everyone.

Original link edited. Can someone let me know if it works?

It seems to work for me.  Downloading an 8.9GB file.
