@Shado

Did you have a photo of Freeborn's ZP+C Spit? I ask because, with rare exception, virtually all the images (profiles, photos) of 74 Sqdn Spits, for example Sailor Malan's ZP+A, have shown the unit/acft ID letters as being horizontally aligned rather than 'stepped'/non-aligned. Both aligned and non-aligned letters were used by RAF (I believe more of the former style).

I do not yet have COD, but it appears that all the default Spit skins have non-aligned/stepped letters...this oddity/error was noted during the many months of pre-release updates, but was apparently not changed upon release.

However, it now appears that skinners can apply either style of lettering....Recently I noticed in the Kristorf's skins thread that he had done an historically accurate 54 Sqdn aligned Spit KL+B. Also, here is Reflected's Malan ZP+A skin with aligned letters:




In a nutshell, I am curious why you chose the non-aligned lettering style for your Freeborn ZP+C skin.

Meanwhile, many Thanks to you (and the other skinners) for all your work/contributions.
