CrazyD Posted February 13, 2009 Author Posted February 13, 2009 I'm afraid that you'll have to select Russia to fly this. My goal at this point was to get a skin made and distrubuted. To start messing around with country files at this point is out of my reach until I get more in tune with this whole skinning bit. I still have the raw files if someone wants whatever is needed to make this "Canadian" fllyable.
Doomhawk Posted February 13, 2009 Posted February 13, 2009 Darn, the only skin that makes the Ka-50 for Canada makes the cockpit disspear.:(
CrazyD Posted February 13, 2009 Author Posted February 13, 2009 From what I understand, if someone made a skin and had the country "Canada" selected, then their skin folder is missing the cockpit .bmp "paint3" I believe. Tell you what, Doomhawk - I'll be re-creating my first posted skin pattern, and I'll try to make it "Country - Canada"-selectable. If I succeed, then I'll remake my desert pattern to do the same.:thumbup:
Doomhawk Posted February 13, 2009 Posted February 13, 2009 Doomhawk, which skin is that? Ka-50 Canadian Forces Livery by Blitz-Hawk.

crazysundog Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 Great skin!! Using it with the new desert terrain mod, looks great together!
Slayer Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 Moose, I went all the way and deleted the star layer on both "Paint1" and "Paint2" files. But you know what? I'm gonna compromise and place the Canada Flag beneath the "Star", a bit bigger as per pitbull's suggestion, and we'll pretend that its a joint Russian/Canadian squadron!:pilotfly: If you can't get rid of it it's probably because it is painted on the aircraft dynamically like the numbers. Meaning it's not actually in the skin file, it's on there because you have selected Russia as the aircrafts country. Try making it from Turkey or something.

CrazyD Posted February 14, 2009 Author Posted February 14, 2009 Slayer, when checking on the skin progress by installing the .bmp files into the temptextures directory for the "Standard" skin, the "Star" kept showing. When I completed the skin and installed using Modman, the "Star" went away. You can get it at LockonFiles. @Crazysundog - Glad you like the skin. I haven't had much "stick" time with this simulator, been working on a remake of my first skin pattern, but after I get this second version done, I'll be sure to download the desert mod and try it out. Its too bad though, that there isn't a desert terrain modeled (ie Iran/Iraq/Afgahnistan/etc), as it would be a pain to have to uninstall the desert mod in order to play an autumn mission, vice-versa.
