Vonrd Posted January 20, 2020 Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 I'm planning on compiling a skinpack for the upcoming Winter 2020 FIF. This will be the first time for FIF on Flying Circus. The skinpack will be similar to what I did for J5's Black September and will be a zip file with all skins in their proper folders. In fact, those who have already submitted their skins to Black September need not submit skins unless there have been changes since then. This is purely voluntary. Custom skins are not required to participate. (I would encourage everyone to install them though... you DO want to be able to see who you are shooting down... don't you? ). Please submit links to your skins before Tues Jan 28. The pack will be posted with the link on this OP on Thurs Jan 30. Please see the submission rules here: FIF 2020 SKIN PACK (29 January 2020) UPDATED: Full Skinpack is updated and zipped. Download here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/pfy1nmgxfcv3y41/AACE82augCfpOXhCE4hZ-rzBa?dl=0 This is Flying Circus FIF Winter (V2). There were some mistakes and omissions in the original file. If you haven't yet installed the original file Flying Circus FIF Winter just download and install this one. Hopefully all is fixed . Sadly... another error. There is a "data" file within the main "data" file. If you installed as is into the game folder, move the secondary "data" into your main game folder and allow overwrite. The Flying Circus FIF Winter (V2) has been fixed but probably too late for today's FIF. If you did install the original file, you don't have to do it all over... download and install Flying Circus FIF Winter Patch(1). Download here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/66c3reqjqpt82np/AAAwVvGuvqfcb6Ui3-q81Jcra?dl=0 Allow overwrite. There were SPAD skins in the Camel folder for 28th Aero Squadron, 93d Aero Squadron, 103d Aero Squadron and 213th Aero Squadron, as well as z 3PG. Please delete them. Also, please delete the skin file called ! JG1 FokkerDr1 Luftritter B from the FokkerDr1 folder (note the "B" on the end. Do not delete the main file that has no "B" on the end). Both are in a zip file with the architecture: data\graphics\skins\*with the individual plane folders* You should be able to unzip it into your IL-2 Sturmovik Battle of Stalingrad game folder and it will auto populate. However, I would suggest unzipping it into a temp folder first just to check and if everything looks good then cut and paste the complete data folder to your IL-2 Sturmovik Battle of Stalingrad game folder. Allow overwrite since many of the files have the same name as prior skins but have been changed. Let me know of any additional mistakes or issues . Salute!

J5_Daedallus Posted January 26, 2020 Report Share Posted January 26, 2020 Hi Hope these are right, I've never done this before with skins I've cretaed These are the links for my latest (26 Jan 2020) personal skins - Daedallus all painted by me except the Camel which was by Szelljr Abatross https://drive.google.com/open?id=1jpVmU7wtPLcXCr8IqWdSclaxUKchgEVn Dr1 https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ulPW58Ra71iQVyV2701NbeS8FaZxuATr/view?usp=sharing Pfalz D3 https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CR_oVfR5hCYbFm6OKiOMVmoTuLpMWT3F/view?usp=sharing Camel https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ik8QJJkWYHValPeypzogXjK1JGM7o0xX/view?usp=sharing Se5a https://drive.google.com/file/d/1h_AjRtkVkRhzCVSXPBy6MZpy-IqFvGwW/view?usp=sharing Dolphin https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mIUPRzutfexe7kLJzOxCq2clFZFuNzKI/view?usp=sharing Thx for the work you put in S!

J5_Daedallus Posted January 27, 2020 Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 Hi Luftritter Would it help you if I renamed them (presumably the link stays the same?) OK just changed one and the link does stay the same so I'll do the others Always learning something new because of this game, love it!

IRFC Hawkeye Posted January 27, 2020 Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 Well if you do rename them, if everybody who has already downloaded them with the old file names doesn't rename their files, they'll never see them when you use them. However, since your post hasn't been up that long it might not be that big a deal. As for me, I'll just re-download them under the new names. But it's something to keep in mind, for the future. S!

SCG_Wulfe Posted January 28, 2020 Report Share Posted January 28, 2020 (edited) Ok, Just under the wire here. Current SCG skinpack is going to just be my skins for now, since Sinerox was uncertain as to what he wanted to do for a skin and we are still working on getting the rest of SCG into FiF Hopefully I will be able to expand this for next season. Current date / version of skin(s): Jan 28th, 2019 Name of virtual squadron and/or individual: SCG (At this stage just Wulfe's skins) Name of author (required) : Wulfe [ link to virtual squadron page (optional) ] www.simulatedcombatgroup.com [ link to paint schemes (required) ] SCG Skin Pack - https://drive.google.com/open?id=1JgaKrEwl3pinNmvYbthstMj34jPX1z_O Edited January 28, 2020 by SCG_Wulfe OP Revised to combine skins into pack.

IRFC Hawkeye Posted January 28, 2020 Report Share Posted January 28, 2020 These don't have to have separate links guys; one stop shopping is nice a single all inclusive zip file for individuals or squadrons would make things simpler, and you could update it over time just by editing the link, and then maybe make a new post saying something to the effect of "O.P. updated for revised and/or additional files (date)". Keep 'em coming, your work much appreciated! S! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As per the rules: https://forum.jg1.org/topic/7503-flanders-in-flames-ruleset-for-flying-circus/ On 1/12/2020 at 3:08 PM, Klaiber said: Paint schemes that show incorrect national markings are known as “capture skins” within the context of the tournament. “Capture skins” are a violation of sportsmanship, respect, and fair play. Their use within the FIF tournament is prohibited and will incur penalties. All pilots should also be aware the German 1PL markings still have the Polish Air Force checkerboard (szachownica lotnicza) on them. It may be an issue with friendly fire. @Vonrd, please removing all capture skins from the official pack when finalizing the new update. Thanks!

Klaiber Posted January 31, 2020 Report Share Posted January 31, 2020 Also, @Vonrd: I also think the 3rd Pursuit Group skins for the Sopwith Camel are a mix up. They look like SPAD skins to me, placed in the Sopwith Camel folder. Perhaps @DeFreest Larner can confirm this. The skins in question are: 28th Aero Squadron, 93d Aero Squadron, 103d Aero Squadron and 213th Aero Squadron, as well as z 3PG skins. Thanks!

I don't see any of my new skins inside this package? I know that Butzzell did and posted some new skin for the Halb 2 seater and the DR1! Cheers, Gen Did you download the main Flying Circus FIF Winter (V2)? They are in there. The Flying Circus FIF Winter Patch(1) is just a patch and doesn't include all the skins. Also, there was a mistake on the main file with a "data" file within the main "data" file. See the original post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
