127Tom Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 I want it based of the photo in the thumbnail...BUT... ..you are free to use your own imagination too! It would also be nice if I could have the same style for the DVII and DVIIF as well Reward: 127Tom's seal of approval! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heinrich Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 To whom is your question? This is a nasty skin to get right: for example the rear part of the Alb fuselage consists of 6 unconnected parts, to get the triangles perfect cost some time. I have other skins to do first this week (promises to keep). Hope you're not in a hurry. Become a member of JG1 and I'll make you these skins. We have more Europeans in the org, all the more reason to join us. 127Tom and J5_Hotlead 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
127Tom Posted March 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 It's no hurry And like I said; you can also use your imagination. Doesn't have to be 100 % from the photo. It's just a reference. I flew with the J30 guys this Saturday and they wanted me to fly with them next saturday as well. And I said yes, so I am kind of "booked". But who knows in the future?

It might be better to ask them for a skin, I don't want to fish in their pond. Just because I saw that you are in CET/CEST thought you might want to join the other European members in flight in FC or BoX. We have a small WhatsApp group, which we use for arranging Rendez-Vous. Just in case you want to join us in that, you can send me a PM with your phone number and I'll add you to the group. 127Tom and Klaiber 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your able to get you hand on the emblem, that might help me! Cheers, Gen Yes, please No need for emblem yet (can smack an emblem on later if needed) since I am not a member of any squadron yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom, please keep in mind what you have asked was a charity from a group that you aren’t associated with. I’m sure your intent of this phrasing was tongue-in-cheek but a more professional, polite method would go much farther.

127Tom Posted May 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2020 You said you would try, so I assumed you started working on it. But If you can't do it, just let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vonrd Posted May 19, 2020 Report Share Posted May 19, 2020 Gen, here's a couple of pics if you're so generous as to work on 127Tom's skin. I certainly don't have the time or inclination to do so. Also, be aware that the upcoming update may very well break the alpha layers. GenMarkof 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you mean by braking the alpha layers? What would happen with all of the old skins you, Heinrich and others did? Do you think that this new update should be out soon? I might wait before starting any new skins!!! Thanks Vonrd! GenMarkof Update 4.006 is going to be introducing new lighting effects / reactions for the aircraft of IL2 - essentially, planes are going to look nicer when they 'shine' (probably not the best explanation ). The good news is, that 'wet metal' look should be getting replaced, so the new effects should look closer to doped linen when translated to FC! Yay! The bad news, is that Jason has said that Alpha layers may need adjusted to match the new effects. We won't know exactly until we see them, but all FC skins might be affected to the point of Alpha layers needing re-done. the update should be out either today or tomorrow. Side note: It should be updating FC's current DM as well! Fingers crossed the wing-shedding is less of an issue! @127Tom Skins take time and effort to do. Lots of time, and lots of effort. Our unit's new skins (3rd P.G) are about three or four months in the making now, and I'm sure JG1's skins have been similarly time-consuming to make. Not to mention that that particular design on an Albatros is going to be especially difficult to make. You can either sit patiently and wait for Gen to get your skin done, as he so generously offered to do, or you can learn to make skins yourself...

I did send a message to @Heinrich who is the specialist in skin making for JG1, to see if he would have time to do it. On my part, I will try to work something in the next few weeks. @127Tom and @GenMarkof007I don't have the time for it, already the work with the new alpha layers takes up time and also I'm about to start working on WW2 skins.

I got some new pictures of it this morning. Are you able to find the emblem on the side of the plane (a clearer picture of it or the emblem in PNG format)... and any info about the top and bottom wings. At this time, I didn't find any pictures of those parts. Cheers, GenMarkof Hi, like I said in my earlier post: I don't need the emblem. You are free to use your freedom on this one. The photo was just a guideline. It doesn't have to be excactly like the photo. This way you can make it easier on yourself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After that, I will work on the last puzzle, the insignia that is halfway done! I must say, that WE ARE lucky today... if it wasn't for that help, I was coming back with a NO GO message for the skin! Cheers, GenMarkof It looks amazing! Can't wait for it to be finished!
