+p10ppy Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 Little Spad VII skinning/tweaks that I've been playing with should be in the downloads once its aproved Cockpit.ini and Spad7_180.ini Hanger Screen Widescreen and normal loading Screen Default tan textureset (replacement for stock if you wish) Escadrille 103 (Les Cigones) textureset and decals (Tan) Escadrille 31 (Hoplite Archer) textureset and decals (Tan) Escadrille 48 (Rooster) textureset and decals (Tan) Escadrille 65 (Dragon) textureset and decals (Tan) Escadrille 81 (Grayhound) textureset and decals (Camo) Escadrille 94 (Running Reaper) textureset and decals (Camo) Escadrille 3 (Les Cigones) textureset and decals (Tan) Escadrille 3 (Les Cigones) Alternative with Stripe textureset and decals (Tan) Escadrille 3 is skinned to a higher degree than the other Escadrille with personal markings and semi accurate paint jobs/numbers The French seemed to paint all their aircraft individually so many compromises were necessary im afraid A few pics Hope you all enjoy it Quote

+NeverEnough Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 Thanks a million for all your work on the Spad VII, this is probably my favorite ride! That first screenshot is absolutely stunning. Quote
+p10ppy Posted February 1, 2008 Author Posted February 1, 2008 Thanks guys I should point out that the first "screenshot" is the loading screen and has been fairly heavily Photoshopped Also apologies for the readme and the download instructions I can actually write English (sort of) my only excuse is it was late here and I'd a few to many pinot noir's Just let me know if theres any problems :) Quote
Barkhorn1x Posted February 6, 2008 Posted February 6, 2008 ...but I am mightily confused by the file structure here. What do ya do - just dump it into the Spad VII 180hp a/c folder as is? Or is that just too simplistic? Quote
+NeverEnough Posted February 6, 2008 Posted February 6, 2008 "...but I am mightily confused by the file structure here. What do ya do - just dump it into the Spad VII 180hp a/c folder as is? Or is that just too simplistic? " Based on installing the package last night, just copy the files into the SPAD7_180 folder. Based on my installation and subsequent flying experience, you Do Not have to extract the Spad 13 cockpit form the Objects Cat file! The program will by default read the relevant files from the Cat file, so you can save yourself the trouble of extracting the files. The beautiful loading screen will not show unless you change the line in the provided SPAD7_180.ini file: [AircraftData] AircraftFullName=SPAD VII.C1 (180) AircraftShortName=SPAD 7 AircraftDataFile=SPAD7_180_data.ini CockpitDataFile=SPAD7_180_COCKPIT.INI LoadoutFile=SPAD7_loadout.ini LoadingScreen=SPAD7_180_Loading.bmp <..................This line. HangarScreen=SPAD7_180_Hanger.bmp To have the new non-widescreen loading screen show, change the LoadingScreen= to read: [AircraftData] AircraftFullName=SPAD VII.C1 (180) AircraftShortName=SPAD 7 AircraftDataFile=SPAD7_180_data.ini CockpitDataFile=SPAD7_180_COCKPIT.INI LoadoutFile=SPAD7_loadout.ini LoadingScreen=SPAD7_180.bmp <.......This change will now show the beautiful new loading screen! HangarScreen=SPAD7_180_Hanger.bmp You could also add the "LoadoutFile=SPAD7_loadout.ini" line to the SPAD7_180.ini. To bring your tracers to the center of the gunsight, add the following line to the SPAD7_180_DATA.ini: // Internal Guns --------------------------------------------------------- [internalGun] SystemType=FIXED_GUN GunTypeName=303CAL_VICKERS_MK1 InputName=FIRE_PRIMARY_GUN GunGroup=1 MuzzlePosition=0.06,0.80,0.51 LightPosition= 0.06,0.85,0.51 AimAngles=-2.7,1.1,0.0 <Add this line................... MaxAmmo=380 EjectShells=TRUE EjectPosition=-0.45,-0.25,-0.24 EjectVelocity=-0.5,-1.0,-0.0 MinExtentPosition=0.01,-0.25,0.46 MaxExtentPosition=0.12, 0.80,0.59 GunFireAnimationID=7 Synchronized=TRUE With those few tweaks, you will be able to fully enjoy P10ppy's outstanding addition to a pleasurable FE experience!

I've downloaded thousands of plane skins in my time, and do some myself, but we are pretty lucky in FE, we have a number of great skinners. Amongst others, Gambit and Sinbad spring to mind. But have to agree that these skins are superb. The decals are as you say, the whole look is very natural and real, and the wings look as if they are made of real material. Yeah, probably the best I have seen in any game. Well done. Edited February 9, 2008 by peter01 Quote
+sinbad Posted February 9, 2008 Posted February 9, 2008 Yeah, probably the best I have seen in any game. Well done. Agreed. I still have a lot to learn (including decals!). sinbad Quote
