Reflected Posted May 15, 2016 Posted May 15, 2016 Folks, I bit the bullet and created my first P-51D skin. I used Wiplash's template and fine-tuned it, and Snowsniper helped a lot with how spec layers work. His "Blondie" skin was the main inspiration to go ahead and give it a try. Polished aluminium textures are the most difficult. What color is it? How much of that color is the aluminium itself, and how much is the reflection of the environment? I fine-tuned it for days to get it right finally, and I'm happy with the result. It's not just gray as the stock skins, but it's not like a mirror either - that was not so common at wartime according to original photos. I also added an aluminium texture to the spec layer, it's visible on the screenshots below. It also includes a WW2 era pilot with an USAAF and a 334th FS patch on his shoulders. I hope you like it, more to come soon! :pilotfly: DOWNLOAD: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/1906930/ Facebook Instagram YouTube Discord
Captain Orso Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 I have to say, you certainly did a great job on this and all the other skins that started popping up like mushrooms after this first one :D What would be really awesome is if you put up one from each of the squadrons of which you made a custom skin with nose-art and historical bort numbers, but with the nose-art, and with bort-numbers which can be set up in the mission editor ;) When you hit the wrong button on take-off System Specs.
