We can use this thread (and the TeamSpeak ... if they aren't listening) to select who does what.

If think some duplication of efforts should be okay as long as no one gets their feeling hurt. We can select one design and maybe use the other design for a later update ... or whatever.

This is what I've garnered from the squadron skinning thread. I've just listed what I saw there.

Please update it or correct it as you toil away.

Now, maybe we should start off by each of us picking three (3) aircraft we really want to skin. Compare the lists here and then start making at least one of those each.

Don't worry about stepping on each other's favorites, we'll try to ballance things out as best we can.

How's that sound?


F

Is the LA5 void the same as the LA7? Just checking, because the template I have only says LA7...

I'm stretching my memory here ...

I know that the two cannon/three cannon cowling is different ...

I'm pretty sure there are small differences in lines in the fuselage ...

purists may get a wee bit upset,

but I think they're essentially the same.


F

Ok... I'm fairly certain that the 3 cannon thing comes in on a variant of the LA7, but not all LA7's have 3 cannon... I'll just make sure what I'm looking at is correct...

Now where did I put my osprey books?

Yeah, as I was thunkin'bout it I thunk'd the same thing. You're right. I don't even have a 1024x1024 void of the LA5FN.

So, I'll edit my list and cross out the La-5.

My La-7 is sweet though.


Fal "Modest" con

Especially when you add your LA7 "smile"


Sna"Dr. Teeth"phoo



[EDIT] Well, I don't have an LA5 either!

MY La-7 is the SWEETEST!

THANKS TO FALCON!!!

Check off the Hellcat for me... one down, ready for suggestions, and numbers... two down, SBD-3/5


[Edit] Pics moved to ULTIMATE JUDGEMENT!

Niiiice Hellcat!

Okay, this thread is for pickin'

so, I'll start.


My first three ac that I would like to do are:

La-7

Yak 9

P-51

P-47 FISmetal.


What?

Okay, next?


F


Oh. I forgot to mention an obvious but important item, just in case. If you use someone's template, layer or element of a skin, please make note of it on your design.

Thanks

oops! sorry I thought we were finishing stoof and putting it here...

That said, I guess I'd like to do the SBD, Hellcat and maybe the P-40B/C/Hawk-81 thingy?

Ok, got my list to start with:

Hurricane
Corsair
P-40 E/M
P-47 (Green)
(Maybe a Mustang for the heck of it)

Do we have a time frame we are looking at?

This is SeaNorris' list of what works on what. it isn't the easiest list to understand and I think it isn't entirely accurate, but it's a nice bit of info to have.

++++++++++++++

Zero's
Generally the Early versions will work with each other, and the later versions with the
later versions, all should work on one another with only panel line errors, only the A6M2-N
has its own skin file, none will work with this except N skins.

Avengers (TBD)
All work with each other with no errors that I can see.

B-17's
Generally, all skins work with each other, except the D model.

B-25's
Only work with there own plane, although C will work on J, they will look bad.

B-239&Buffalo
All work with each other no problem.

Bf-109
E's will work with each other, but not on others, same with the F series, altough the G,K&Z
versions should all work with each other with no problems.

Bf-110
All will work on any model, only the gunner position on the G would look a little wrong.

Blenheim
Both will work on one another.

C-47/Li-2/L2D
All should work with one another, although the Li-2 is different to the other two in slight ways.

Corsairs
Usually always work with each other.

DB-3
The short nosed ones will only work on them, I am unsure if they work with IL-4's or DB-3T.

F4F&FM-2
All work with each other with hardly any problems.

F6F
Both work on one another.

Fw-190
Usually, they should all work on each other, you will find errors on most if you do not
put it in the supposed folder, D-9 & Ta-152 won't work on any other FW, or each other.

G4M
Usually work on one another but with problems.

Gladiator&J8A
Always work with each other.

Hawk75&P-36
Always work with each other.

He-111
Should work on one another but with some errors.

Hs-129
Should work on one another but the Cannon version may have problems.

Hurricane
Usually, MKI skins work with the IIB, the IIC and Field Mod use their own voids though, so don't work very well.

I-153
Work together no problem

I-16
Work together no problem

I-185
Work together no problem

IAR80/81
Work with each other, with some errors I think.

IL-2
Usually work with each other, but the Early versions should stay with them, and the later
versions with the later skins.

Ju-52
Work together no problem, maybe some errors on the floatplane varient.

Ju-87
Work with each other, although not so good on the D-5/G-1.

Ju-88
Work together no problem, although the front does get crunched up on the Mistel version.

Ki-43
Work together no problem

Ki-46
Some errors may occur.

Ki-61
Work together no problem

Ki-84
Usually work with one another, although some errors may occur on the C varient, which has markings
painted on by default.

La-5
Mainly work with each other without conflict.

La-7
Work together no problem.

LaGG3
Work together no problem, although panel lines, and the IT version will vary.

Me-210
Work together no problem

Me-262
Work together no problem, again, the U4 Version is slightly different, usually results in a
white cannon if you use a A version skin.

MiG3
Work on each other fine, except the MiG-3U, which is a totally different void.

MS-series
Usually work fine together.

Mustang
B,C and MustangIII all work with each other, but not with the D series, although these work with each other.

N1K1-J
Work with each other without much problem.

P-38
Usually work fine together, although there is some differences.

P-39
Usually work fine together. Also works with the P-400.

P-40
Only B/C will work with those planes, not with the E/M. E/M work with each other ok usually too.

P-47
Usually work fine together.

Pe-2
Usually work fine together.

Pe-3
Usually work fine together.

SBM
Usually work fine together.

SBD
Usually work fine together.

Seafire
Usually work fine together.

Spitfire
Only MKVB versions work with the VB, same applies to the VIII and IXc. Also, the Vc will only work on the Vc.

TB-3
Usually work fine together, although, some differences are noteable.

Yak
Usually, work fine with each other, though I recommend only adding certain ones to certain folders,
such as the Yak1 can go to Yak7 skins too. 3 and 9 should stay in there own folders too.

++++++++++++

My second group of five (3) ac are:

- Mossi
- Seafire/Spitfires, (some of those are hard and it might me good for one mate to do them ... or not ~shrug~)
- IL2 (I've GOT to update the one youz guyz have been using in HE)
- Pe-2

Again, we need to have a ~rap~ session to divvy it all up as fairly as possible when y'all are ready.


F

I've got a Yak I can do, I think... And an I-16... And a MIG I could do... not sure how accurate they are... I'll do em up and see what everyone's thunks are about em...


Snaph.

Snaff,

You can flippin' HAVE the I-16. It's a Rat in more ways than one.

Beware of the lines around the undercariage. There's no way to get it right.

Just follow the stock void there and you'll be as accurate as anyone can be.


F

Does anyone want to do the Spitfire VIII '43 and the VIII (cw)?

I have good templates for the:


- Seafires,

- MkVb, Mk IXc, Mk IXe

- and the MkVc,

but nothing developed for the MkVIII's.

It's up for grabs.
