Looking great! It's a shame that the weathering is a little heavy to start with which is hard to fix. You've been doing a great job though!

Nice skin for starters Chris,thanks,but I know you've got more up ya sleeve;)

The Bob Tuck skin is a beauty mate,I love the weathering the old Spit's and Hurri's have,look in any old BOB book and you'll see this is how they were.Partly because pilots obviously had to clamber aboard in a hurry,so around the cockpit/wing area they were really roughed up,many down to bare metal.

Top notch skins boys,keep em coming,I look forward to coming on here every night just to grab the latest skins.:grin:

Very happy to see that Spit Skins can be created with historically correct horizontally aligned Sqdn ID Letters when warranted, as well as the 'default' Staggered letters which was all that was ever shown in the SOW:BOB updates and as far as I could see all were staggered in the videos made from COD after its release, both in Oleg trailers and Community videos.

Last one for a while,

Hurricane MkI P6684/RF-F 303 (Polish) Sqn, Northolt, Sept 1940
The 126 on the side was the final 'score' for 303 during the campaign period, although by Oct the score had gone to 140.
Post war re-checking however dropped the tally by 44 due to 'overclaims'

Been checking out CS5 but its a bit pricey right now, I'll have to look around. I remember how much time is involved in creating a skin back then I was using yours and others layers so appreciate these skins even more.

Would love a QV-J Armagh, but I'm being very cheeky :)

the lines are clear BUT this one is Weathered by Default.:confused:
Could this be due to Auto Updating [Steam] ?
I even Patched Manually to Beta Patch
to see if this would Cure, but no Joy:rolleyes:
Any Suggestions would be very much Appreciated.

The problem is "by design".

v1.02.14821 Release Patch notes state "Reworked Spitfire visuals". This is the weathering & paint chipping you cannot turn off.

FF, RGB's as requested

Slate-56, 61, 52
Extra Dark Sea Grey-64, 70, 82

but remember there are also several weather and wear layers that tone it down, if you want I can zip them and forward them.

CWMV, I use several differant profiles and (if I can find decent ones) colour photo's, but in the end the main thing I use is if I 'feel' its right I will release it, maybe its just something I have picked up after doing these for years, who knows.

The aircraft carries the inscription OBSERVER CORPS below the cockpit, indicating was one of the dozens, later hundreds, of funded Spitfires. To encourage national savings, a scheme was devised whereby individuals or organisations could “present” an aircraft by contributing an amount equivalent to the cost. In the case of a Spitfire, £5,000 was the asked amount. The founders, mostly organizations such as in this case, were acknowledged by a suitable inscription on the fuselage applied in the factory.
P7666 was a Spitfire Mk. IIa built under the 1st order for 1,000 Spitfire Mk. II at the Castle Bromwich Aircraft Factory.
It left the factory on 15 November 1940, subsequently issued to No. 41 Squadron on 21 November. Flying this aircraft, Finlay shot down two Bf 109Es. The aircraft was subsequently passed to 54 Squadron where it was later converted to a Mk. Vb, and was shot down by a Bf109 of JG51 on 20 April 1941.

Ive noticed in many of your skins that there is a slight mottling of the colors, like an overlay that breaks up the colors uniformity and adds some variation to color tone in the skins.

F/Lt. Lock was born in Bayston Hill, near Shrewsbury, in 1920 and went to Prestfelde School. He was still at school when he had his first taste of flying - a five shilling trip with Sir Alan Cobham's Air Circus - but apparently he wasn't impressed at all.
Instead he joined his father's quarrying and farming business and thought no more about flying until 1939 when he decided that if there was going to be a war, he wanted to be a fighter pilot. So he joined the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve - a sort of Territorial Army version of the RAF - and was called up on the outbreak of war.
Trained to fly a Spitfire and commissioned as a Pilot Officer, he was posted to No. 41 Squadron at the end of May 1940, based in Catterick, North Yorkshire. 'Lockie' returned to Shrewsbury in July to marry Peggy Meyers, a former Miss Shrewsbury, and then returned to his squadron after a brief leave.

On 15th August 1940, Eric got his first victory when a formation of German aircraft on a bombing raid came into his sights. He picked out a twin-engined Messerschmitt 110 at 20,000 feet and latched onto it, shooting it down into the sea.

On 3rd September the squadron was posted to RAF Hornchurch in Essex.

On 5th September, two days after arriving, Lock brought his damaged Spitfire back to base after destroying two Luftwaffe bombers over the Thames Estuary. A German Messerschmitt 109 fighter had shot up his Spitfire (injuring him in the leg) as he finished off the second bomber. Despite his wounds, Eric was determined to get revenge on his attacker. With a deft series of moves he shook off the 109, got into firing position and fired two short bursts into him. The German fighter exploded in mid air. He had shot down three German aircraft in just one day. Eric's injuries were minor, and he was back in the air the next day, shooting down a Junkers 88 bomber.
Three days later he shot down another two Messerschmitt 109s, and on the 11th he destroyed another Junkers 88 and a Messerschmitt 110.

He'd destroyed eight aircraft within a week - nine in total - a truly remarkable feat, even during the Battle of Britain, and one that led to the award of his first DFC. The citation described how the young pilot 'displayed great vigour and determination in pressing home his attacks'.
Eric's extraordinary skill at the controls of a Spitfire ensured he continued to knock down enemy aircraft at a rate of knots, including one he chased right across the channel before shooting it down over Boulogne.
Just three weeks after receiving his first DFC, he was awarded his second, this time - for shooting down 15 aircraft in just 19 days. In the same period he had been slightly wounded once - and had to bale out an amazing three times. This time the citation referred to Eric's 'great courage in the face of heavy odds' and his 'skill and coolness in combat'.

After a brief rest the squadron was back at Hornchurch in October, and once again Eric picked up where he left off, shooting down another four Messerschmitt 109s - the last over Biggin Hill airfield - and bringing his total to 20 kills.
On 8th November Lock's Spitfire was badly shot up by Messerschmitt 109s at Beachy Head and he had to make a forced landing, although he was unhurt.

The victories had dried up for the young Shropshire pilot, but on the 17th he struck again - but at a cost. On that day his squadron attacked a formation of 70 Messerschmitt 109s, and after shooting down one and setting fire to another, Eric Lock became the victim. German bullets and cannonshells smashed into the cockpit, injuring Lockie's right arm and both legs. A bullet also knocked the Spitfire's throttle wide open - something that may have saved the pilot's life as the aircraft leapt forward hurtled out of the dogfight at more than 400mph, leaving Eric's attacker standing.
The bullet that forced open the throttle had also knocked the lever off, so Lock was alone at 20,000 feet, only able to use his left arm and with no way of slowing down the racing engine. Unable to bale out because of his injuries, he got down to 2,000 feet before cutting his engine and looking for a landing site.
Eric woke up in hospital to find he'd been awarded of the DSO. Once again the citation paid tribute to 'his magnificent fighting spirit and personal example'. He spent the next three months undergoing 15 operations to remove bits of metal from his body, and remained in hospital until the end of May 1941 - except for a trip to Buckingham Palace to receive his decorations.

In June 1941 he was fit for duty and promoted to Flying Officer, and soon after promoted again to Flight Lieutenant. The following month he was back in action, commanding a flight of Spitfires with 611 Squadron. In his first few weeks back in battle he'd shot down another four German aircraft, taking his total to 26.

On 3rd August 1941, Lock was on his way back from a fighter sweep over northern France when he spotted some German soldiers on a road near Calais. He swooped down to attack and was never seen again. It seems most likely he was brought down by ground fire, but the wreck of his aircraft has never been found, nor a body recovered, and so Shropshire's Battle of Britain hero has no known grave.

Eric Lock's name is carved on the Runnymede Memorial in Surrey, along with those of 20,000 British and Commonwealth airmen who vanished without trace in World War II.

Flight Lieutenant Eric Lock. Lock, originally from Shrewsbury, is credited with 26½ victories, nearly all of them achieved flying Spitfires in the Battle of Britain with 41 Squadron.

Spitfire N3162, EB-G was Lock's aircraft on September 5, 1940 when he shot down four German aircraft and was himself wounded. Eric Lock went on to become the RAF’s most successful pilot of the Battle of Britain. Modern research shows that he achieved 21 kills during the period of the Battle, although at the time he was officially credited with only 16½ confirmed kills.

(I have used a weather layer from another template, but for the life of me I cannot find the original to credit the author, please contact me and I will ammend)

I will also do some 'blanks' with just any artwork so they can be used with in-game markings.

I have ordered the book 'Czech's in the RAF', so I will add more after that arrives

Hi Kristorf,
Stunning work. I see on http://spitfireforums.com/index.php?topic=268.0 a debate over A or B scheme for EB.Q What did you manage to find to work to ? I am also intrigued by the sky codes as opposed to the Medium Sea grey normally used. Also EB.Q was a Mk1a and your screen shots shows a Mk2 indicated by the rounded bulbous spinner and Rotol blades though it lacks the coffman cartridge starter 'lump' on the stbd cowling side.

Can we download and run these schemes with our own weathering choice ? I havent got the sim yet as my PC is WinXP so wont run DirectX10 which the developers opted for and its only 2 yrs old and cost me a fortune so excuse my ignorance.

BOBC,

I have pic's someplace with codes, but as to were they are at the moment I don't know.
As to the spinner, its what the game puts on it so I have no control over it unfortunatally.
Again, as to the weathering its an on going bug bear, the game engine gives the Spitfire 'full' weathering regardless of the slider position, we have asked for it to be changed to user defined, but as its not a tank I doubt it will change.

Hello Kris....Some really great skins you've done here...Good to see someone with the enthusiasm for skinning on the new Sim...its contagous!...You got me hooked again....Top Work..~S~

So...After working away all last year in Istanbul and then eventually getting home and spending the kahoonas that was needed on a big rig to play COD, I've been hitting it pretty hard....ATAGS server 'Axis v Allies' (well worth a looksee at their server if you haven't already done so...PLUG)...So yesterday knocked up my first COD skin....a quickey as a tester.....(I used to make skins in 1946 regularly)...

Interesting to not find any of the panel lines in the stock skin...Although I don't need them just yet I will need a transparency of those in the future I am sure....if anyone knows where they are in the files (save me the trolling...thanks in advance)....I used to use the 'remove white' plugin on the void skins to get the panel lines in 1946...

Anyways...

I never liked the Spit stock colours that were on COD..I remember seeing the previews a couple years back and thinking the same...so I made a spit skin from an old 1946 skin here....Not any pilot in particular, just a colour scheme that I like....more to the yellow ochre and to the olive green..

There are 4 skins in the pack: With white nose, black nose and with or without yellow square on left top wing. None with Markings.

I wouldn't say that you have been rude or shown a lack of respect (at least by the standards of this forum).

I have noticed a drift into an attitude of questioning (sometimes sarcastically :)) the current state of the game, the rate of progress, and more recently the devs statements - all of which I can understand since I'm finding it hard to avoid similar reactions myself at the moment.

Actually when I first saw you (and a few other long-term, previously supportive members) starting to make less than happy noises I did think 'uh oh, things are really getting bad when people like this are starting to react'.

Unfortunately I think that's just where we are at the moment.

I think I've downloaded all of your great skins for the game and hope you'll continue. Would be a shame not to see any more, but thanks for the great contribution you've already made.

Inside the "Skins" folder, you'll find a bunch of folders, (one per aircraft).

So, if you have downloaded a "Spitfire MkI." skin for example, you'll paste the download into the "Spitfire MkI." folder.

You choose it whilst you are in the menu screens,before you fly you'll get a choice of 'Player plane',this gives you the choice to choose the skin you want to fly in during the flight you have chosen.

Re ATAG,I'm not 100% sure but I think only you will be seeing the skin,the other players will only see a default skin,but I'm not sure on that.

I'm sure they'll be someone who'll correct me if I'm wrong.
