    One question and a small preview.

    Well, my third post in a row.

    The first thing is a question. Is it possible to download and add maps to the quick mission builder?
    And if so, Where and how?

    And my little preview..
    A desert Camo mosquito. Two pictures:





    --->Still under construction<---

    So what do you guys think of the skin? Anything that should be changed of what I've already have done?

    Re: One question and a small preview.

    Well, don't know what to say, there is not too much detail of the plane to see that it would enable any feedback from my side.

    Cant you take pictures that allow to see more of your skin??

    Kind regards,

    Re: One question and a small preview.

    Try to zoom in more so the aircraft is full screen, and add a larger picture, though the site resizes it smaller people then can click it to see the large version. We can now hardly see what is good or not.

    I think it's a mapping problem you have to fight: But I'd try to get the aelerons and wing patterns to match. If you upload a skin that does not match there, people will complain about it.
    I'm aware that it might be a hell of a job to do...

    Looking good so far.....On the screen shots hit the Delete key then Pan back, you wont get that fish eye lens effect.

    I know this is a work in progress but I will add some thoughts for you.

    1.Work on lining up the camo, its tuff and takes time but the end results are worth it.
    2. Add some texturing (To give it a real world look) and weathering to give it atleast a little use look, how much depends on your liking. I tend to go historical here. Some planes were well kept and then some were seeing so much action that paint scratches and scaring, oil stainds, gun stains, dirt, mud and much more built up. Look at some of the marine early war F4U's to see what I mean. The P-40 suffered the same fate. To much time in the Air and not enough TLC on the ground other than the bare stuff Like Motor work, patched holes, and what not.
    You will notice that Late War P-51's were fairly clean, along with late war spits, 109's, 190's, P-47's. Bombers were a diffrent story though. "Put Them in the air and Bomb the Hell out of Them" was the prevailing thought. Meaning they were used untill they couldn't fly anymore and little if any attention was payed to the way the looked on the outside, Who cares how shinny or how nasty the paint looks so long as it can drop bombs.

    Keep up the good work and every thing will come together. Keep us posted, you find the skinners here are more than willing to give you their thoughts and hints. And it is Help, you wont be patronized for being a newbie, Rember that . We were all newbies at some point in our lifes as skinners
