Skinning, Modding and non official patches have kept alive what we so cherish. The ignorance of some of the posts here is amazing to say the least.Sure you can pull the so called "Gay Disco" paint scheme card from your hat and walk away like you said something intelligent or even relevant to this conversation... but its not. Along with the few kid/amateur paint schemes out there ,there are 100's of historical recreations and corrections done for free by history lovers and IL2 enthusiats.
All Armin is trying to say here is that the system that 1C and Maddox has introduced , has taken away from the owners and enthusiast of IL2 the ablility to expand upon it. Just as we have so done for many years in the past. One of the reasons IL2 is still alive and 1C has made money on it still to this day is because of US!!! The Skinners and Modders. I will say with profound respect to the people who have given back to this community by developing FREE add on and upgrades to us for our enjoyment.... Thank You. You leg humpers thats have posted here probably have never given one thing back. As most of you who have bashed this thread,I have never seen your names anywhere for contributing to our community. And it shows by your posts and lack of respect to those who have kept this Sim moving forward years after its release.

Oh look at you clutching your pearls in horror at my posts like I just kicked your dog.
Please. Playing the drama victim, although hardly original around here, is a bit much. And to be honest, I've never heard of you either amongst the thousands of skin makers out there, but does that make you so relevant to the community that you can just attack anyone that disagrees with you because I'm not as l337 as you seem to think you are?
So back to reality...
1) I'm not a "skinner hater" and in fact loved the incredible work that was done to improve them for IL2 whether they were yours or whoevers. Really. Some impressive stuff was done.
2) I would love for you to have whatever you want in life including free reign to spend hours upon hours looking at faded colours from disintegrating film and photos, determining what was historical. We'll forget of course that our crappy LCD monitors likely will vary that by a higher percentage than your days of tweaking and arguing RGB equivilents amongst yourselves. Knock yourself out, I think it's great and appreciate someone making the effort.
3) Sometimes compromises are made for the good of the community and overall look of the game. So for every .01% of you that are offended by the opacity of locked panels and rivets, the other 99% are even more offended by the fact that people can and will fly without any for whatever reasons. So yes, the fact that 1C's panel lines are slightly less perfect than yours would be I think it's a fair compromise.
4) The assertion that allowing you to change this makes NO impact on the rest of us is wrong (see above) at least as far as I understand it.
5) I'm sorry you are so hurt by my post. Really. And if there is a better way around all of this I will march right behind you but in the meantime I will at least be able to log on to a server and see that ghey flame job with (mostly) proper rivets and panel lines and be able to maintain some immersion.
Now, can I lend you a hand off that high horse so you can mingle with the little people?
