Found a Youtube vid that shows a text tutorial that would be perfect for making Luftwaffe Outline Numbers with Gimp 2.6.
IMPORTANT
This Tutorial is NOT specific to IL-2 Sturmovik so there a few task to perform that are not mentioned.
1..When selecting New Image click on Advanced Options Tab and Transparency for background.
Now follow steps shown in video until 1:07.
2..When using Grow Tool opt for 2 Pixels.
3..To copy/Paste onto skin,highlight Background Layer and press Eye this will remove background colour
to reveal Transparent checkerboard.
In Tools box select Rectangular marquee tool and drag around Font then right click and select Copy visible then Paste onto Skin.
Cheers
