I was trying to see if I could find anything from the guy, but it's been difficult. Maybe someone like @Bearcat might have some idea where he went? I know he's been around as long as I can remember from my days in high school on the original boards. I have no idea. I have been quite scarce myself for the past few years but I am heading back to base ?. Got my Warthog the other day ... Flew offline for the first time in quite a while. I love the way this sim has progressed and I had no doubt it would. 3

My X-45 is almost as old as my time playing flight sims...it definitely stretches back to my time with the original Il-2. I'd kill for something with less noise in the Axis than a Chiefs' football game.
Bearcat Posted July 15, 2020 Author Posted July 15, 2020 Lol... I got it at a great price too on Amazon. It was in sale for $355 and I had $80 in points so I applied them to it.

VBF-12_Stick-95 Posted October 14, 2020 Posted October 14, 2020 (edited) Here's my best interpretation of a historic skin for Eberhard von Boremski's Yellow 4. Skin contains a hakenkreuz. There is an official skin for this plane. If you like this skin and fly with mods on you can have this skin show in place of the official skin by renaming this skin to "Bf109F4_skin_03.dds". Download link: http://www.mediafire.com/file/kgj6xe4t5ufqvym/Bf109F4_Von_Boremski_Yellow4.dds/file Thanks to BlackHellHound1 for his template. EDIT: Also available on HSD.

Reptilian Posted December 23, 2020 Posted December 23, 2020 Hi. This is the Spanish Bf-109F4 based in Reus airfield. After the Spanish Civil war they were used to cover the border with France and intercept possible allied aircraft. Enjoy it ? https://www.mediafire.com/file/x6muu3ifoq7qwn8/4K_Bf_109_F-4_Spain_Sand_Camo_JPG.dds/file 7 1
Fritz_Fagioli Posted December 27, 2020 Posted December 27, 2020 (edited) Would this be the place to ask for a somewhat historically accurate MishMash skin? The Italian "camo" scheme on a 109 skin. Have one for a 190 for the old game. Would like to have it for my newer IL2 game. Like somehow this Italian guy "procured" a real fighter plane! lol Edited December 27, 2020 by Fritz_Fagioli

-332FG-jotuncat Posted April 30, 2022 Posted April 30, 2022 Would anyone mind making this skin for me? I fly this from time to time in Tobruk and would love to be able to use it in IL2 as well. I'm not sure what the issue is with having two images for the Berlin seal, there should just be one, not two superimposed on each other. Thanks!

HeerRitter Posted May 27, 2022 Posted May 27, 2022 my first attempt at a skin and my first time using gimp or any photo editor so probably not the level of some but i was pleased with my first attempts at making a custom skin for my III.jg3 career. I added the historically accurate cross. my kill mark tally to date plus the emblems for 3 gruppen and jg 3 "udet" then number 12, gruppen bar and the staffel colour which for 9 staffel would be yellow in this case.. I also had a go at a personal motif for the plane, I took inspiration from my favourite from the books I'm reading at the moment (and now tv series) last Kingdom It seemed a good name for both a Viking ship and a bf 109 ? and lastly a good amount of scratches and dirt for a plane that is in constant use threw the BoS. I hope I didn't do to bad a job of it and I'm pretty sure my research on the markings and emblems is correct? Spoiler 5
Gedm Posted May 27, 2022 Posted May 27, 2022 Nicely done. I like how you have the summer camouflage showing slightly through the winter camo. 1

I like how you have the summer camouflage showing slightly through the winter camo. learning to use gimp and figuring out how to correctly save everything to work in il2 for the first time was a learning curve, mistakes were made ? some of the how to vids were a little out dated, but It defiantly has made the whole il2 experience more immersive. I just got another of Osprey's "Aircraft of the Aces" book #116 -Aces of Jagdgeschwader 3 ‘Udet’ there's some great colour plates in there I want to have ago at. I already have a few from scale modelling back in the day like #27-Typhoon & tempest Aces of ww2, #69-Mosquito Aces of ww2, #57-Hurricane Aces 1941-1945 or #40-Fokker dr1 Aces of ww1. Do you know if you can do the same sort of thing with the trains more to the point sand bags around the train AAA or flak emplacements things like that? I think DCS has spoiled me a bit and after seeing there new South Atlantic Map early access wow!!!
Gedm Posted May 27, 2022 Posted May 27, 2022 You're asking the wrong guy on this subject. I'm solidly in the consumer group when it comes to the skinning arts. I tried it once but got crayon all over my screen... But I can say is you look like you are doing something right. I'm sure one of the Master Artist's will be along to answer your questions. ?

Edit: I weathered her up a bit, i wanted something look like it'd been on the front lines and seen heavy fighting. I also changed the personal motif it needed a bit of colour.

HitmanTurkey Posted October 30, 2024 Posted October 30, 2024 (edited) I've recently started playing a career with bf109 f4 and the squadron has the ex desert paint scheme equipped as standard. I wanted to add kill markings to my plane so I'm looking for a template for this paint scheme or how to make the standard ex desert paint scheme template so I can add kill markings. I'm new to skinning so maybe this is a dumb question. Update: I found some DDS skins that have the paint job that I could edit but when I open them in GIMP they are kind of transparent and checkard. Not sure how to edit a DDS in gimp and I can't find one that is PSD. This is for JG3 Edited 3 minutes ago by HitmanTurkey Edited October 30, 2024 by HitmanTurkey
