UK_Widowmaker 571 Posted August 30, 2009 (edited) Thanks Olham, Checkers arn't so bad, but i can't do diagonal stripes to save my life! Give the 'Skew' tool in photoshop a try Edited August 30, 2009 by UK_Widowmaker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted August 30, 2009 (edited) RedDog, you can also use the "lasso" (set on: straight lines). With that tool, I do a "choice field" first; when that looks right from its angles and proportins, I save the choice (give it a name, to find it again), so I can reload it later. A choice can be moved, when you first click on the first tool (rectangle choice), and then press the arrows for left , right, up, down. A choice can also be transformed; go to "choice", "transform choice", then to there, where you find "transform", and now you can transform it there (distort, enlarge, turn etc.). Now I don't know, if your Photoshop would use my English words, sorry - I can only try to give you ways. The "choice" means an area, marked by an interrupted scribbly line. Very important: always choose the right tools, otherwise you do undesired things. But in "windows" (in the top bar), you can open "protocoll" or "report" or how you call it. In there, you can always make many steps undone by pulling them down into that little dustbin. Maybe for "choice" they use "sample"? Don't know...

UK_Widowmaker 571 Posted August 30, 2009 (edited) Well, here is one for the Aussies! This SE5a Hispano is in the livery of No6 Sqd RAFC, Western Front 1918 (the Kangaroo motive is still used today) Just a bit of weathering to do (on the new Decals) and I will then upload it Edited August 30, 2009 by UK_Widowmaker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Olham 164 Posted September 2, 2009 (edited) Hey, Wrestler Try the settings I attached here. You get there in Workshop this way: Graphics config > File > Custom settings > Window > Overrides (and: Texture Info) Perhaps you better not change all the sliders, but click or un-click everything I have. If your landscape wouldn't look good after that, please contact the support. Edited September 3, 2009 by Olham Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Olham 164 Posted September 2, 2009 Okay, now send me your hometown please (country is Ireland, as I read), and I will add you to the OFF Pilots Maps. As Great Britain is very crowded already, a shorter name would have been fine; thank god you're not Welsh! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

UK_Widowmaker 571 Posted September 3, 2009 Thanks for the tip! Nice one Olham!..I had different settings to yours, but thats improved the eye candy by (at a guess) 25% You clever chap! (fancy flying with the Brits?..we could do with an insider!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted September 3, 2009 Widowmaker, I had three British pilots, but lost all pilots, when something got messed up and I was only left to reset CFS3. One of them, Darius Marlowe, flew the Tripe with RNAS-10 from Droglandt. He had shot down 4 Albatros DV already. Second was David Oldham, I think that was the Camel pilot; flew with 65 RFC from Bailleul, late 1917. He had downred 5 Albatros DV from Jasta 35. And Douglas McMarlowe flew the Brisfit (can't find him in the logs right now, so I don't know from where/what squadron). He had bombed a train successfully. I also had French and American pilots, but as I said - all lost. But I will do new ones. Do you have recommendations for each British craft, when and where to fly it, if I want good action?

Olham 164 Posted September 3, 2009 My above "Texture Info" had shown the wrong settings. I had to make a CFS3 Reset some days ago, which had reset them too. Now, the settings shown above are right, and as recommended by the devs. Thank you, Bird Dog - good you noticed! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bullethead 12 Posted September 3, 2009 With much help and discusson with Olham over colors and general appearance, the naval Fokker D.VII in pre-printed hex fabric is finally complate. It's over in the download section awaiting approval if anybody's interested. Now I need to go back and revise the paint on my DFW, although I'll probably leave the current version up because some folks like it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rickitycrate 10 Posted September 4, 2009 So here's another of my two for one deals. Today we have Bulletheads Naval meeting Widows 112 SQDN Ace in the OFF skies. These are custom skins to be found in the download area. I'm flying the Fokker DVII, so sorry Widow the huns rule the day this time. As always my thanks to our community skinners.

These are custom skins to be found in the download area. I'm flying the Fokker DVII, so sorry Widow the huns rule the day this time Glad the naval D.VII worked so well for you. The PSP file for that skin has 42 layers and I was afraid all that extra weight would negatively impact its performance . Speaking of naval stuff, I went back and re-did my naval DFW to what I now consider much more realistic paintjob. I'm afraid it's no longer pretty blue but looks a lot like the D.VII. However, it's the 1917 version of the scheme so has the larger, symmetrical, hand-painted hexes and the rudder is the same color as the fuselage side. I decided to leave the original blue verison up though, for them as want it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rickitycrate 10 Posted September 4, 2009 Thank you gentlemen. BH that's a fine looking skin for the DFW. I'm on that like white on rice! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
