Little Teaser of a Skin in the works

[Ripcord03]

Hey, so for those of you too afraid to wander the depths of the liveries and skinning section of the forums, here is a little teaser of a project i started working on at the request of CHSubZero and NRG-Vampire:

 

 

 

 

 

For those who don't know, this is a USAAF Spitfire MkIXc, Tail Number EN447, flown by Lt. Victor Cabas, The USAAF painted over the British roundels (save one on the left underwing) and put their own markings on it.

 

I started this just because I wanted to make a less generic skin than the Squadron skins that came with the spitfire (yes i know, early access :P ), but also because there are no US skins in-game. Also, the challenge of making a skin with no template appealed to me, so here I am, roughly 3 days into the project, and Im down to fixing a few small things here and there along with finishing up a few minor details.

 

I am hoping to have this up for a public release before christmas ;)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also for your enjoyment: a few in-game screenshots with an early version of the skin with me smoking the engine of the spit right after downing a 190. Not once, but twice. My only guess at why the engine failed is it overheated, even though the Temp gauges were fine during the engagement, so either that or the engine siezed for an unknown reason.

 

Luckily, on my third attempt to kill the 190 without killing my engine in the process i kept the throttle at around 50% and used the prop pitch adjustment to control my rpm, and i successfully down the 190, and landed (the landing wasn't great, but i didnt break anything off the plane xD)
