I search a similar color to my fleet with my falcón eyes, I rework the original texture of Independence to get the best quality, I delete the 22 and I was painted pixels, heavy work, but look fantastic. The Ranger or wolverine has the same "base texture" with no number, but the quality is difuse.So the best way was rework the original texture.

I think the 2 place of Independence in the picture, is the best tone color of all.the 3 place is more dark tan Essex and Enterprise.

I canceled the visual upgrade in Independence, I change it by a dx565, it look much natural, and yeah it is more heavy but It is a aircraft carrier, and we the pilots use it.I am testing the others carriers deck, to change the dxt1 way to convert dx565 if the original texture is more that dx565, because carriers are carriers, are important, to see a good fly deck.All the others ships was converted in dx1.
 
I reupload a final upgrade of part 2 and 3. So I recommend removing the ships that were already installed on the old pack, because some was renamed.


The part 4 was the most heavy work that I can make for cfs2,and is 98% complete.So comming soon.

Maxstuka SHIP IMPROVEMENTS
It is the attempt to add improvements and arrangements in some ships to get more functionality in cfs2.
there is a difference between exact values and gameplay as the theory vs the practice.
many times the real values put in CFS2 not work as expected. I have tested many times starting and leave the game
to insane levels to calibrate this, winning playability, this is the key to extend the emotion and simulation.

First I renamed all this models with the best way to evade the mdlnames file, and following the form of microsoft names each objet.
So when you add this ships are managed perfect.
I ordened all for classes and next by name or age,if you like another skin, re-paste it in the folder of the ship.
I studied I identified each model to rename in their respective class.
