Support for 24-bit custom skins?

[Spudkopf]

Simple facts:

Default skin for Hs129B2, native game RGB.




Now exactly the same skin reduced to 256 index (8bit) colour depth the only (non mod) way to use a custom skin.



I know I said I could live with 1024x1024, but one can just imagine how much better the view from the cockpit would be if the resolution was only doubled to 2048x2048.

Those who can remember the Jane's WWII fighters days can probably recall the difference that higher (multiple) res' skins made to that sim (especially on hammered's K4), in fact it was enough to keep many from switching over to Il2 for quite some time. But there-in lies the crux of the problem, it’s simply in 1c’s best interest for us to move over to COD and not stay with 46 even though there is still so much for 46 to offer.
