SCG Squad Skins Axis

[BOO]

Hi

 

Here's the first 240

 

Id like to share the 4K skins ive produced for SCG. Perhaps they may be of use to those of you flying PWCG. Other members of our group may also add theirs to this first post in time (just send me the links to skns and i'll edit to add them). The E7- G14 skins represent aircraft from 4./JG52 whilst III/JG27 is represented in the G14s and K4s. We now try to avoid the squad becoming a flying circus so, for the main body of skins, there is nothing "squaddy" and distinctly "distinctive", just run of mill aircraft.  

 

Each of my 109 E7 - G6 packs currently contains 32 skins for each type (16 summer and 16 Winter). The G14 pack contains skins for 4/JG52 and III/JG27 and the K4 JG27 alone plus a stupid bit of fantasy nonsense.  A small number of custom skins for our highest performing members in also included in each pack. Each skin is individual so no overall pattern of mottle should repeat. Each skin also has its own Werk Number and completed Manufacture plate. Ive tried to keep things historically accurate (so swastikas) but Im no rivet counter and these are representations only - they don't claim to be replicas of any individual airframe.

 

What I will say is that these are not  "number skin landfill". Each aircraft skin is unique and not just a copy of the last on with a different number. Ive put many (hundreds) hours into them and also into matching joints and sorting out the small details like the alphas and the tailwheel nuts, matching up weathering and paint across the joints and balancing the layers etc. There will some mistakes for sure but overall I think they are pretty ok. 

 

All the packs (should) come as a structured file so dropping the file "data" into your main IL2 game folder should do the rest. Be warned that some texture folders do not contain the original normal maps as a backup - I've put a separate download  containing those as they apply to 3.009 at the bottom of the post.

 

The 109Es use ICDPs template and Normal map.

The 109F2 uses BHHs template and Normal map (now default)

No F4s yet as I'm reworking them now I've discovered how wrong I was about BHHs templates (like totally) and how much I love em!

 

The G2 and G4 use my own reworked version of Rafiger's G6 template so BE WARNED they wont fit Boomerangs G2 or Rafigers G4 normal maps. The G6 and G14 use Rafiger's Template and Normal map. I may revisit this in time

The K4 uses ICDPs template and normal map.

All of the skins combine the work of the template makers with my own stuff and stuff hacked from the original 777 templates that I've reworked. 

 

Finally, Ive put together a little "get out of jail free card for the 109s" in the form of a set of original normal maps appertaining to 3.009.

Thanks for this - the work you have put in shows to someone like myself who obsesses over the details.  I particularly like the detailing in the alpha channel where scratches and chips back to the bare metal are given the correct reflectivity.  I won't use them all but as II.JG52 is a unit you can fly with throughout the 3 career campaigns, I have my personal aircraft covered from Moscow through to Bodenplatte

Hi Boo, excellent work.

 

I just noticed that the #2 G6 summer skin is a winter skin.
