Hey guys,
I have some very limited skinning experience (currently using GIMP, I've got the basics down) and have some questions regarding cockpit skinning. I've been trying to quickly slap on a photo to the airframe's cockpit, but to no avail.
1. What format do you usually work with? I'm currently taking the DDS, opening it in GIMP (which then converts it to XCF) then converting it back to DDS.
2. Which compression works best? Is there one set compression that DCS can only use?
3. What's the quickest way to identify certain parts of the cockpit on the DDS without having to constantly go back and forth to check where your edit ended up?
Thanks,
Cactus
