New Custom Skins for anyone.
If anyone would like their favorite "Long Defeat" skin customized with pilot name and squadron number, send a copy of the skin to me and I'll give it a go.
Send the .bmp file found in your PaintSchemes/skins folders to me at ifalcon(at)aol.com and label it clearly something OTHER than "Increase Penis Size" or "Fat Chicks on Parade".
You need not be a member.

Stu,
The long defeat skins will be different than our FI skins? i.e. no Irish ensign?

Yeah, just the skins you like with numbers and name superimposed on them. Without a template it won't look perfect, but it should look good.:FI:Igor wrote:Stu,

Thanks for the offer, Stuart
But where do I know which planes are available in the next mission?
On Oct. 12th I'm not flying, anyway - one day off for holiday

Good question. I assumed that we'd be flying the 190A's for a while, but ask Ardmore or Rabitski for a better idea.

2262!?!
I ain't customizin' two-flippin-thousand skins!
Just send one skin at a time that you use when you fly on Wednesday's and Sunday's "Long Defeat" campaign from your PaintSchemes/skins folder to me and I'll fix it up.
~~~
Now Marco, as far as semi-official FI skins from the Great FI Skinning Project, pick a few of those that you use a lot and just tell me and I'll make brand spankin' new ones from my templates, if I have them. Other FI skinners made FI skins for the project too, so you may end up asking them for some.

I see that many are using Canon's Nowotny '43 east front skin.

This is what you'll get if you go custom.*

*Yes, Greg, you and the other nozees can have swat-stickers if you want.

the FI Project scheme,

a desert scheme,

and a few others.
Are either of these what you meant?
~~~
Since Airway and Wardog are post project members I'll send the FIProject skins along to you anyway.
If you want different markings on other skins; crosses, swastika, double cross, etc, let me know.
thx,
