BTW: It might be a cool Feature, if we manage to establish a Thread or File-Collection or so, where we could up-/ download our Custom-Skins, so others could use them, also. There are a lot of Skins here, that I would like to fly around with Ok guys, let's all get skinning...hmm, that doesn't sound quite right. Well, Pol has tentatively ok'd hosting a Custom Paint Pack depending on what we come up with. So pick your best ones that you would like to volunteer up for others to use. Or, if you ever wanted a chance to go all out, now would be a good time to produce your masterpiece. Also, if you have any requests, this would be a good place to request them I'll leave this thread up for, oh let's say a month, before submitting. To participate: Please send only the .dds file to me at RickRawlings1917xxxx@gmail.com. Please remove the x's from that email address and you've got it. For naming convention, please follow the form: Off_(aircraft type)_ace_t_(squadron) (year)_(Joe_Doe_Your Forum Name First Initial) so for example: Off_Alb_DIII_ace_t_Jasta 12 1917_Joe_Doe_R if I was submitting my paint scheme from the last challenge. You may submit as many as you want, but try to avoid sending ones with very minor changes, like just the wheel covers or something. Maybe we can even vote on the best! The file will include the submissions and a read.me containing instructions and copyright information reserving original skin rights to their owners. Hopefully, Robert will be nice enough to JSGexpealadocious it for us! So again, just for simplicity's sake, let's say that Nov 1 will be the cutoff for submissions. C'mon, let's try to get the veterans and newer folks alike! MFair, carrick58, I've seen great things from you guys lately!
The older I get, the more I realize I don't need to be Han, Luke or Leia. I'm just happy to be rebel scum...

Brilliant I will send you any that I do

Hey! I already got my first submission and thankfully he reminded me to tell you something that will make my life easier: If your forum name is significantly different from you email name, please add it in the email so we can get attribution where it goes!

Send them along! If Pol ends up giving me any size restrictions, we may have to cull a few but for now, have at them! It would probably be useful if we could complete the series if it's not too much work. That is, if you make one for a SPAD VII, if you could also do the XIII that will help people who want to use them in the campaign. It would be much harder to do going from the DII to the DIII, however, because of the base skins, it's not just cutting and pasting.
Also, Pol said to be careful about re-importing and exporting the .dds files as this can lead to compression artifacts, I asked for a screenshot example as I am not exactly sure how this would look...

Rick, I have sent 6 skins - pls confirm the mail, when they arrived, okay?
One good advice you might want to tell the future users in post #1
Skins for the Albatros D.III (early) can also be used for the Albatros D.III or the Albatros D.III OAW, if the users changes the file name like this:
from Off_Alb_DIII_early_t_Jasta 2 1917_Werner 'Bubi'_Voss to Off_Alb_DIII_t_Jasta 2 1917_Werner 'Bubi'_Voss or Off_Alb_DIII_OAW_t_Jasta 2 1917_Werner 'Bubi'_Voss
Same goes for the Albatros D.V (early version with the hunchback), and the Albatros D.V (uprated)
from off_Alb_DV_later_Ace_t_Jasta 5 1917_Paul_Baumer to off_Alb_DV_Ace_t_Jasta 5 1917_Paul_Baumer

Duke, I have sent the following skins to Rick:
- off_Alb_DIII_early_ace_t_MFJ I Swordfish
- off_Alb_DV_ace_t_Jasta 17 1917 Windrose
- off_Alb_DV_ace_t_Jasta 17 1917 Germanic
