CoD disappointing in skinning matters!

Hi cheruskerarmin (ive seen your work around

) , ive made over 150 historical skins for il2 plus many more for squads etc, & i was thinking of coming out of retirement

to start skinning for COD but i have heard of this panel line problem & us skinners at ubizoo discussed this very problem a good while ago & they are also not happy , so im just going to wait till i have COD & see what i can do with it skinning wise.

How in hell would they implement the progressive weathering of aircraft over missions when someone can change the structure(rivets) of the aircraft...

Paint the thing. Thats your interest and your apparent expertise.
Paint goes on top of rivets.

Yes your hard earned expertise at making the rivet layers look good will not now be on display, your weathering will not be on display.

Want them to put in a rivet filter on top of the epilepsy filter to make a game just for you?

Don't panels collapse now too? as in if a new skin shows panel lines that the game doesn't recognize you would end up with really weird mid/dual-panel collapses and what not?

Yeah, like I want to see more bright red or landscape textured planes without panel lines & rivets to really give me that sense of immersion.

I think I would like to stick to the developer's method that at least puts proper panel lines over your Hello Kitty skin up there.

Yeah, now it will look like the real plane would if you painted it with a Hello Kitty scheme.

Which is still better than a plane shaped object in Hello Kitty colors

The new system will be great for people who, like me, can make a decent looking skin if they are using someone else's template (I can make my own templates, but they take 10s of hours and still don't look as good as the templates made by the true artists, so I stick to these and sometimes modify them a bit).
