Err. Il2 skins had 1024x1024 size if i am right. And i somewhere read that the COD skins are 2048x2048 in size. Also the UV map must be a diffrent one for the much more complex COD 3D-models?!

I hope so, Winger. The 109 in Il-2 did have its share of FUBAR mapping (junction of wings and fuselage, fuselage top, antenna pole etc).

ROF templates are good but have soome messed up errors too. i.e. the DVIIFs height stabilizer is at the wrong position. Also some portions of the mesh are just flipped at some planes Well, nobody is perfect.
Other than that i very much hope the COD templates have the same if not better quality like the ROF templates.

Hate to ask, but has anyone looked for a skin folder or template within the CoD directory yet?

The skins folder path is:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\PaintSchemes

Only camouflage layers of 109s, 110, Spits, Hurris and Tiger Moth, 2048 x 2048 .jpg files.

Once in game, these files are compressed, resulting in a very pixellated look, especially on Bf 109s uppersurfaces

jpeg? That is odd, I would have expected them to be in dds format.

only thing i want to know, is how do you select skins that you create? i made a copy of a 109 skin, changed its name, looked around in the game, but couldnt see it anywhere.... anyone know where to look?

Perhaps this is what your looking for





Very sad to see this.
After all that waiting.
Not angry,just really disappointed.

The other night I spent close to an hour writing what I believed was an honest evaluation as to what I saw coming down the road for COD .
I didn't expect everyone to agree.
Going back after writing it I reread a number of posts by senor members here then I felt that all was for not ,as there didn't seem to be any real understanding as to what has been lost by thousands of core members who have continually supported 1c from the very inception of Il2.
A few hours later frustrated,I deleted what I had written.

When you lock this Sim down to skinners,as well as adding last minute band aids to COD so as to get it out the door...watch out.
Everything is hopefully fixable in time,however the loss of a mass of potential buyers most often is something that you cant fix. Especially the people who have hung in with Oleg for the last 10 years.
Will COD fracture the IL2 community? I hope not,however the storm clouds
are gathering very quickly.
Over the last few days I've dropped into 8 community sites.Some big others not so big .The news is not good.There is a lot of anger and disbelief.
I truly believe 1c has made a huge mistake.
Just a polite honest opinion

Yes, Pierre is right. I can see crude pixels when looking from the fantastic cockpit of the BF109 to the wings outside. Especially the RLM 02 areas look blocky. Feels odd after being used to former skin goodness and seeing the gorgeous RoF skins. Disappointing for a 2011 release to be honest.
