Heres my first ever IL-2 Sturmovik 1946 Skin. Not very good, but I did it here at work so had to send it off to a friend to view it in game for me.
The amount of Trolls and Nazis had made him grow fat! Nah, I still have to tweak the design. Not sure why it made him that round. It was more an experiment to get a feel for the interface etc. I plan on making a 1PzP Skin for several planes to spread the Phear of der PanzerPenguin into the skies!
Here is attempt 2, using a different color scheme. Since I am working 'blind' (aka I can't see the skin on the model until my body takes screenshots for me - thanks Goth) it didn't turn out entirely how I envisioned. It does use the colors of der PanzerPenguin though and will be the basis of my '1PzP' Fleet of Skins.
Here is der PanzerPenguins plane in its current state. Image quality does not do justice to the Skin.
What program are u using Panzerpenguin? How do you make skins? I have made a skin , and saed it as bmp, but i cant use it in the game...
I use Photoshop. You have to convert the file from RGB to Indexed. Then you save it as an 8-bit BMP and save it back in the folder for the correct plane. Google it. I don't know how to do it in any other program.
I got back onto CoH this weekend and realized how much I like it. I took some time to beat up on the comps for a bit. I had never been much for artillery but after this I have to rethink that. The Guns. I had 4 artillery pieces. What the Guns did. Gotta love that. And yes there used to be a base there.
