too-cool Posted October 27, 2013 Posted October 27, 2013 I've ask this question before and couldn't get a answer so I figured I'd ask one more time, is there anyone who has and will share a step by step guide of how to create, modify or alter a DCS P-51 skin/template? You would think that with all the skins being offered someone would have a how to guide or tutorial on this very subject.

Echo38 Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 (edited) I'm not a skinner (well, not since Red Baron 3D ... things were simpler then), so I don't know if this is exactly what you're looking for, but I found this after a minute or two of using the forum search: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=73093 You can probably find more by using different keywords. I found that link in another thread called "I am new to skinning, need help please", which was on the second page of search results for the keyword "skinning." Good luck with the painting!

WildBillKelsoe Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 Search for tutorial by snoopy for A-10C. Same principles apply. You open the unzipped psd in gimp, paint it, save as bitmap 24 bits, then open file in dxtbmp and convert to dxt5 dds texture. Do for all four files, create new folder, copy contents of one, then edit file names in description.lua, and country in same file, using notepad++ and voila.

Double dash is friendly, Single dash is enemy. Circle is friendly. Strobe is jammer. Strobe to dash is under 35 km. HDD is 7 times range key. Radar to 160 km, IRST to 10 km. Stay low, but never slow.
too-cool Posted October 28, 2013 Author Posted October 28, 2013 The video is a private video and I can't access it even after logging in. I tried to do a search for Snoopy/Tutorial/A-10 skin but came up empty, do you by chance have a link to his tutorial?

too-cool Posted November 2, 2013 Author Posted November 2, 2013 WildBill, can you tell me exactly what lines in the description.lus file have to be changed when you create a custom skin and what information are you replacing?
