ETO Lancaster Project

Since the TOW Lancs are more up to date and cover many of the AvH and ETO lancs, would it not make more sense to use the TOW Lancs as the basis of any other Lancs not in the TOW collection, by just porting over the textures from AvH or ETO on to TOW based aircraft. Permission from Ted would be needed and probably an alternative prefix to their names. Is that in fact what you are trying to do with Ted's permission?
 
Effectively, yes!

My intention was originally just to get the ETO Lancs some cockpit/forward turret glass and to give them new versions of their skins using a TOW skin as a base. With 17 Lancs, I thought ETO didn't need any more! I've already done 15 of the 17 skins and I'm already in communication with Ted about the models (over on FB). I was doing it on my own (although I was always going to ask permission) until I realized that TOW1 essentially has only two Lanc models, the standard one and one with the ventral gun (understandable given the time period covered). ETO by contrast has seven (Standard, Bulged Bomb Bay, Grand Slam, H2S, Upkeep, Mk II, ABC)! I'll be talking to Ted about that!
 
Question though: What is the function of a MOS file? In two cases so far, removing the MOS file has fixed a problem I was having.
 
The .mos file is a layered image that allows CFS3 to display bullet holes, damage, nose art and codes etc. The aircraft work perfectly well without it but you won't see any of the above mentioned.
There's a .mos editor in the AVSDK if you want to take a look.
