Skin missing - need your help !

[tribal50]

Hi everybody.

One more time I need the help of the community to continue my series "Hell and Heaven"

At chapter 18, Jacques Andrieux joins the 341 squadron known as "Groupe Alsace" equiped with spit MK IX.

Fortunatly, Haluter's skin downloader provides me 2 skins :

zsf-spitfire.mkixe-341sqn-boudier-4K , n° NL-Z

zsf-spitfiremkixe-341sqn-mouchotte-4K , n° NL-L

But I need 4 others skins , with any letter of registration, of course different from Z and L.

 

Have no idea how to create a skin but if a specialist can help, no idea rearding the workload, but if a specialist could do it for me I would be forever grateful!

Many thanks.

Hello @tribal50
I can help you with the skins.
I would need to see the skins you downloaded from HSD to make them the same or as close as possible.

Nice!  I guess it s less workload if you can work on existing skin. 
can you work from the downloader result? Sorry but I have no clue about the tools needed to work on the skin.

I tried to put here the dds file corresponding to the skin put the.zip (or .rar) is bigger that max allowed size of 5MB

Hola @tribal50

No, just take a photo of the skin in the game showing markings and camo.

I have to make the skins from scratch.

Place the dds file in a “drop box” like MediaFire and post link to that file in your forum entry.

Hello
The DDS file doesn't work for me, I don't have a way to convert from DDS to PSD. I have to make the skin from  template from scratch.
That's why I need an image or profile of the plane to see the markings.

understood ! I do this asap

 

[tribal50]

here it is. You can forget the nose art, don t need it. what is important is the squadron Id "NL" and the picture representing the "Croix de Lorraine" . White and black stripes are also mandatory as action is after the D-Day. 

Please ask if any further info needed.

For future reference.

When doing my own skins,  I

1.Open the dds file

2. Save it as a bmp file.

3.Open the .bmp file in Gimp or Photoshop.

4.When finished with edit, I flatten image and export as a dds file.

I get pretty good results. Only problem is alpha layer editing.

julian has mastered the dark magic of skinning, they can somehow summon a skin within minutes (lol). Looks great btw.

Heaven and Hell, chapter 18 : Free French Forces 341 Squadron located in a field south of England the day before the whole squadron land on an airfield in Normandy for the first time.

Thanks so much, Julian!

Today I noticed that you are well known. French virtual pilots from Check-6 already asked for your help!
