Johann262 Posted February 26, 2020 Posted February 26, 2020 (edited) Hello, apologies if I should not ask here, but I'm trying to find where to download the files to allow for 4k skins. I'm not sure if these are what people refer to as maps for the different planes (they go in /graphics/Planes/[plane name]/Textures/). I've managed to locate a few, but I can't find any others. Is there a post with these files? Edited February 26, 2020 by Johann262
Beebop Posted February 26, 2020 Posted February 26, 2020 (edited) Skins go in: Main Game Folder* > data > graphics > skins > plane type folder. *Name and place dependent on where you got the game from. steam installs it in "Steam/steamapps", if you get it from 1CGS it will be wherever you installed it. To see non default (custom) skins you need to enable in-game; Settings > Game > check box "Show custom paint schemes". That box is in the top left box of the 'Game' screen. To see 4K skins you need to enable in-game; Settings > Graphics and in the left row of boxes toward the bottom check "Use 4K Textures". Hope this is helpful. Edited February 26, 2020 by Beebop
Johann262 Posted February 26, 2020 Posted February 26, 2020 Thank you for the quick reply, Beebop! I will double check these settings. After digging around a little bit, it might just be a bad skin file I tried to apply. It kinda broke the plane when I tried to apply it: I couldn't change to any other skin, and the skin that was on was very blurry, and even the markings of the instruments were all blurred. So this is probably mostly my error, but at least I have more information about using 4k skins.
Beebop Posted February 27, 2020 Posted February 27, 2020 Well it seems that my suggestions are already in effect. It won't hurt to check anyway. It sounds like something is wrong graphically beyond the game. You might check your other settings or just try re-starting the game. If you have a Steam version do a file integrity check. The guys I fly with sent out an email to everyone saying that they had issues and after doing an integrity check. HTH
336th_Ripper* Posted March 12, 2020 Posted March 12, 2020 I cannot for the life of me find the B-25 folder to install custom B-25 skins! Can anyone point me to that folder? It's not in the Skins, not in the Planes folder.
Beebop Posted March 12, 2020 Posted March 12, 2020 351st_Ripper, In your skins folder create a folder named "b25draf" (all lower case, no quotes) and place custom skins there. 1 1

The tank Templates are made out of two 4k textures, full of small parts spread all over the place, that take ages to find and paint. The tanks are not compatible with the skin viewer, so every time you paint a piece and want to try it out, you have to start the game and a qmb to test your skin. It's too time consuming. .....but then again, we are all confined to our computers, so time is not such a valuable commodity as it used to be. Edited April 16, 2020 by Jaws2002 2

JG1_Rotermann Posted May 1, 2020 Posted May 1, 2020 For some reason when I try to put a letter on the top wing of the Camel it flips backwards and up side down when i put it in game. I've tried moving it all around and can't get it take.

Raptorattacker Posted May 1, 2020 Posted May 1, 2020 (edited) You have to put the letter on upside down (the actual wing in the template is FACING you) and then when you're happy with it's position FLIP it horizontally. Then save... Hold on, I'll show you a picture... Confusing but that's how to do it... It's just the weird way that some 3-d models are compiled. Clear? Edited May 1, 2020 by Raptorattacker
Raptorattacker Posted May 1, 2020 Posted May 1, 2020 Well that's how it's done. A pleasure, by the way....
Raptorattacker Posted May 1, 2020 Posted May 1, 2020 Strange. I literally just did those letters on that template, saved it as .dds and screenshotted it and sent you the pictures. Letter(s) upside down and facing you and then flip the letter horizontally and that's what I got. Ah well...
Beebop Posted May 1, 2020 Posted May 1, 2020 It's like the P-47 in 1946. Skins from the inside out. Have to flip AND mirror. Who wraps these planes anyway? Not a skinner, that's for sure. I want some of what they are smoking.?

JG1_Rotermann Posted May 1, 2020 Posted May 1, 2020 do I need to flip just the letters? when I flip the whole template flips
JG1_Rotermann Posted May 1, 2020 Posted May 1, 2020 (edited) I've tried every combo and when I put it in game it flips on it's own. HA HA Got it Thanks for the help Edited May 1, 2020 by -332FG-REDMAN
Raptorattacker Posted May 2, 2020 Posted May 2, 2020 (edited) It's the LAYER you flip, not the whole thing. The whole thing is, as you say, The Template and that's what's applied to the 3-d model. See? Told ya! Edited May 2, 2020 by Raptorattacker 1

=MiSFiT=44_T_Wizard Posted May 12, 2020 Posted May 12, 2020 I would like to download these but Mediafire.com is notorious for viruses. couldn't you have a link in google docs or something safer?
Beebop Posted May 12, 2020 Posted May 12, 2020 I've never had a problem with Mediafire. Nor has anyone that has downloaded content I've uploaded there to my Account. Does your AV program tell you there's a problem? Is it with Mediafire as a site or the content you D/L'ed? 1 1
Raptorattacker Posted May 12, 2020 Posted May 12, 2020 A TON of people upload their skins and stuff to Mediafire. I personally have NEVER heard of anyone having a problem uploading OR downloading... 1
