[MOD] Complete MPG skins pack for all airfields buildings, 1944 - 1945. Update skinpack hangars & new buildings V10, for BoN and BoBP. October 2022.

[MarcoPegase44]

Hello,

 

BOBP airfield hangars are too similar to civilian airports. This is not good for immersion.

So I did some tests of camouflaged hangars for the Modcareer whose screens are attached.

I am looking for photographs of camouflaged hangars by the Germans in 1944 and 1945 for the most realistic skins possible.

Thanks for your help

I don't have any pictures really but articles/documents I've read suggest that the main method was extensive camouflage netting. I don't how you will achieve that look with a skin for the building however. Also temporary airfields used converted farm buildings (see pic in blog link) eg's of references

Hello,

 

Work in progress..coming soon

 

Merry Christhmas… ?

 

[MarcoPegase44]

[Bumfluff]

Great idea. How about some better camo for larked aircraft generally? 

Most pics you see of late war German aircraft have them parked among trees on autobahns.

[MarcoPegase44]

Hello,

 

The first skins for the hangars are ready,

Thank you for your comments.
Others to come

Version 2 of the skins

[Stonehouse]

I think the taxiways and runways on concrete strips also got some treatment. Been looking around and some of the end results were pretty amazing (although probably beyond the scope of reskinning)

Hello,

 

New version to improve sight from afar

Nice mod up close, but at a distance the buildings turn black. ?

You have reason, this mainly concerns 1 type of hangar.

I had noticed.

I will see this to make a clearer version from afar.

[LizLemon]

The buildings get darker with distance because the textures were exported with the wrong mip settings

[MarcoPegase44]

Hello,
Here is a new version which largely resolves the too dark aspect, especially when viewed from a distance.
I take this opportunity to add a 3rd large hangar.
Please send me your comments to improve and then complete with other buildings.

Love the close up view of aircraft in the hanger...quite a surprise the first couple of times!! Thanx!

Where can I visually confirm that I have this mod installed correctly?  Bases?

Hello

If you don't use the JSGME program to install you have to put the textures files in the folder.

following the next path

If you don't already have a "blocks" folder, you must create it in the "" graphics "folder as well as a" textures "sub-folder.

 

IL-2\data\graphics\blocks\textures

 

 

Please note for the moment this only works for the maps  autumn and spring .

I haven't made a mod for the winter season yet.

[DN308]

Really nice job!!! Très beau!

[Blitzen]

I'm using the latest version v.4 & the hanger sides look almost entirely black until I am very close to them.Obviously from the air they look very unrealistic indeed.any ideas for a cure?

Thanks!

Yeah, I noticed the same. Really a shame, because the color of the original hangars look much too bright to me.

[MarcoPegase44]

Hello,

 

There are 3 buildings.

 

Have the problem on the 3 ??? if not on which.

 

.What is your gamma setting in the graphic settings  ???.

 

Personally I had this problem but since the last 2 editions I no longer have them.I will have to start working on this mod soon because I have not yet modified all the aerodrome buildings

 

Thanks for your help

[LizLemon]

The problem is you are still jacking up the contrast of the mips for some reason. You should stop doing this.

But I must say that this I exceed my skills for the moment with the mip, I will have to take the time to research and understand.

I've only seen this with the large hangar and I haven't touched the gamma settings at all.

Hello ,

Thank you, interesting information

It's weird because the big hangar posed me less difficulty than the others for the realization

My gamma settings on 1.

I will continue my investigations

How far do you have this problem?

Hi, are you still working on this?

 

I would love to see properly camouflaged hangars for the BoBP map.

[MarcoPegase44]

Hi,

I did not manage to reproduce your problem.

On my PC I don't see the same problem.

I play with a slightly improved version; the V5 that I never released because very little different from the V4.

I am attaching a new V6 version for testing which is much improved in the Alpha layer.

Thank you for giving me the feedback on your PC

Hello mate,

 

I tried your latest files over Rheine airfield.

 

While I think the side walls of the hangars are still getting a tad darker compared to the original setting, imho it looks okay now.

 

Thanks for your efforts! 

[MarcoPegase44]

Good morning all,

 

This pack replaces the previous skins and adds new buildings. Here

I have just completed a first series of camouflaged German airfield hangars, control towers and barracks at the end of the war.

I was inspired by photographs taken in France, Belgium and Germany of the camouflage of buildings in 1944 and 1945 for the Rheinland map.

Compared to the first tests that I had made available to the community, I added buildings and made improvements to eliminate unwanted reflections while balancing the lighting just right according to the weather and the weather. time of day.

Thank you for your feedback.

I will then complete with a second pack for some hangars and barracks that I have not yet processed.

Uncompress this pack in your "MODS" folder and Activate this pack by JSME when you play BOPB, a priori these hangar skins are not historically compatible for BOM and BOS, JSME will allow you to deactivate it.
