I've recently been trying to learn the art of creating skins and I thought I'd try the AI tanker in the colors of the Maine ANG refueling squadron. I've had some success but have run into a problem with the wings on the boom. If you mod the "body1" skin, it is mirrored on the "body2" skin. If you mod the "body2" skin, nothing shows for body1 or 2. This is odd because you can mode the "body2" template for the stablizers and fuselage but I'm stumped on the boom wings. Hopefully the mod team will stumble upon this thread. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Also, I'm using PS elements 2.0 that I've had for ten years and am just now getting into so this isn't going to look like some of the works of art I see here. See the attatched file for the result I'm looking to acheive. Thanks, Grim31

CEPEGA, I do not have photoshop so I am most gratefull for your editing and publishing these mods. I just downloaded them and plan to install the "c" version. Many thanks! rep boost coming. Grim31

CEPEGA, I just tried this mod and this very nice work. However, I've have no luck in editing this file to change the tint to a less yellow setting so that I may see what best suites my tastes. Do I need a program other than Wordpad, notepad, etc. to edit? or could you edit and post some tinted panels with different degree's of shading? Thanks a million. You guys deserve a portion of ED's pie. Grim31

Same problem here. Trying to search for the changes for vsinc, FOV, mouse that make this sim better. Grim

Dang, I had to read this a second time thinking I must have missed my name being mentioned. As much as I want to enjoy this eye candy, I can't fly every night because I'm always "hitting the wall". It took two days of flying the easy missions to realize that the holes in the wings was due to me dropping GBU's as such a low alltitude that I was causing more damage to my A/C than the supply trucks on the ground. I'll take this excellent advice to heart. Thanks, Grim31

Chaz, Remove all but StrongHarm's profile from your Saitek SD6 profiles folder(users>public>public documents (vista)) and see if that fixes the conflict. I had a similar issue a month or so when I got this simm. Unfortunately, I can't recollect the user who mentioned this but it was buried deep in a thread like this one. Good luck, Grim

Hi, I searched the encyclopedia and the closest weapon is the Zu-23 ural, but in the real world it seems the unconventional weapon of choice is the Zu-23 mounted in a Toyato pickup. Could this be included in a future patch? Maybe a dirty, dented, mud spattered white Helix model with a couple of insurgent brothers hanging on the back. Grim31
