The bare metal is coming through! What am I doing wrong? I think you forgot to copy the markings on the nose and stripes to the Alpha Channel. Make it and, on the Alpha Channel, paint them darker. It will work. Edited September 14 by 9./JG54_Skywarp 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
361st_Ripper* 195 Posted September 14 @9./JG54_Skywarp You mean use the Alpha.psd, do it in there, merge and flatten it, then replace my Alpha channel? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

361st_Bugsy 917 Posted September 14 (edited) You are having the same problem as DDSnacko was. You need to make an alpha layer where all the painted parts or dark gray or black, this way it will show up in game as a painted area on the plane...What program are you using to paint...?

9./JG54_Skywarp 56 Posted September 14 (edited) The Alpha.psd is only to make your skin shiny or opaque. So, it's reccomended that you copy all emblems and parts that shall not shine to the Alpha and paint them darker... merge all layers and copy it to your main file, in this case, the P-47D-28_4k_Public.psd 40 minutes ago, BSS_Ripper* said: Rgr @9./JG54_Skywarpthanks!

Rgr @325th_Bugsyand @9./JG54_Skywarp thanks I have it all ironed out now. The name beneath the canopy could be darker if I darken it in the alpha, but I am ok with the way it is. I am working on a proposed non-historical paint for my buds. It will be a while until we fly a Corsair in Il2 BOX Edited September 15 by BSS_Ripper* Added Pic 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tom_Weiss 1143 Posted November 17 Poochnboo, I did that for the A2A P-47D, easy to make. the "Big Stud" for our P-47D I did already, but I did not add as the source we have did not allow me make it as good as I wanted it to. I need the kind of photo like the one I had for this one, WIP for this release this week. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It links to a higher resolution download? BTW,, look forward to My Gal Sal flown by Wayne Lowry of the 325th FG.
