The
New Installer
has a couple of more Skins included , i have a new favourite .<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:eek:ffice:eek:ffice" /><o:p></o:p>
“ Its Green Captain “ .. there were also some uploaded to Avsim by other SOH members and i hope they can post a few pics to show off their work
 
Nick did a great job on it , the new installer is available
HERE
and contains all elements of the original .exe and the recent service pack (with revisions) as well as the paint kit and two new skins , the owners of the kitty need only to reload the installer and hit the throttle, the DOA.dll is off by default with instructions for turning it on in the docs.
 
I don't think the reflections look right with a painted finished IMO.

I have a repaint of our aircraft in olive drab and am getting the same thing, you have to tweak the spec and alpha to get the more 'matt' look.

FSX really does let us creative type have a million different effects with so much ease. Good stuff!,...

...and yes it looks nice in green, better than blue in fact! :engel016:
 
Lewis, don't let Helldiver hear you talking about matte finishes like that. He is pretty adamant that 'Kitties were as glossy as new Porsches. Me? I'm nearly old enough to give you a first-hand account. That's what he says, though.
 
Yes i understand the blue ones may be shiney at first but I would have thought green would'nt be?

Now your confusing me, its the only thing stopping me uploading the few skins ive done lol
 
Blue is one thing, olive drab paint is another. Key word "drab"! Even the German's on the Eastern front tried to wax their 109's. It was thought that the smooth surface would increase the planes speed. Besides, what guy in their right mind wouldn't try to pimp his ride?!! hehe
 
I'm not a big *Green* fan...But I must say this looks nice....:applause:
 
I like flying the glossy ones my self, as it gives me the feel of driving my own personal sports car with tip top paint care. When I fly warbirds I always imagine modern day and my own personal hotrod, which is why I like the glossy blue one the best with the white triangle patterns, as it looks the most "sporty" to me. That's also why the factory fresh bare metal scheme is my favorite with the A2A Razoback.

Nice shots Nils.

I think the f5s onwards that where gloss blue where well polished, but the other marks where matt. Also they seemed to change from matt to gloss by late 43 early 44.

Allthough for a sea weary plane i still think the gloss on the kitty is more airshow like than real ops, allthough i'm sure helldiver will tear me to pieces on that :wave:
 
Am I missing something because the installer is asking for, Name, Email, license ID and Password. And I dont have the last 2.
