@ 110 fail :Looks like you found the spit-party and they noticed you got in without an invitation... lol

It wasn't pretty, believe me! :)

110: "Omg I can joins ur furballz?"

Spits: "No, you canz GTFO! I'mma chargin my lazor!!!! Shoop-da-woop!"

Can you reproduce this one?

Some nice ones here http://www.sukhoi.ru/forum/showthrea...=1#post1626426

Sadly I've been having to make do with messing around with other peoples Screens..

If this is frowned upon let me know!

Both shots taken by Kristorf, I was just seeing if I could recreate depth of field..

:grin:
excellent

That's my favourite screen so far.. How did you achieve the shine? (If you don't mind me asking)

Wow wow wow, I love this thread. Keep 'em coming, guys! :)

Also, @ataros: That collage with the iconic Luftwaffe over London photo is awesome by itself!

the shot is pre 14550 patch. i changed the ingame shaders/special effects then took a screenshot then re-balanced the colour in photoshop. Image/adjust/auto colour. simples !

It works really well, gives the Spitfire real presence.

Really? RBflight, who posted that screenshot on sukhoi.ru a few days ago, said it was a modification of normal maps and little more.

But I am reading that site through a translator, so....

Nice pics Kris ;) Remember back in the day of the 33rd and 23rd :) Good times, only better skins now :D

BLOODY HELL KRIS you nearly hit me!!!!

Cheese

T'was a very enjoyable time mate :grin:

well i guess i better inform everyone what i have done then. and dont bother doubting me im upfront and honest! anyway its nice to cause a stir, mwahahaha..

I have Not touched a normal map. All ive done is changed some specular textures visually, and specular values in a config file only. that config is the combined material.mma file. all the specular textures are in the same folder. then the post processing is as ive already explained.

Nice work gents

Excellent
 

Ali Fish - love that image - reminds me of posters of the spit.

@ataros - I'll try and recreate that shot tonight. Very iconic indeed.

@redroach - just followed a simple tutorial online but the best part is I recorded it as an action in photoshop which allows me to batch process most of it - I can then go back and tweak specific shots depending on the composition. I'll post detailed instructions in a bit - the link to the tutorial is on my home computer.

Not exactly the same place but close.

I actually though you just linked a different wartime photo, had to do a double-take to realize it's from the sim :-P

Thanks for the infos! And keep those awesome screenshots coming! :cool:

@the bomber-over-london pic above me: Very nice, I also had to look twice...

Here's my attempt
 

Not sure how the original was exposed, what type of film, day of time, etc but here's a rough attempt.

lancer, have a little look-see at the pic on the previous page... your picture with the other pic's post-processing could be awesome as well. The previous one is pretty fascinating, imo ^-^

Ah, that does give a pleasing effect.

Now, for some of my pics

http://www.abload.de/img/shot_20110422_202337ek8x.png

If you're going for a WW2 look, you'll need to compress the dynamic range. Try the curves or levels tool in photoshop.

Played with levels and contrast a bit.

Lancer- according to this link the picture was taken at 6.48pm on 7th October 1940.
http://ww2today.com/7th-september-19...tz-hits-london
I've also seen it noted that it was taken at 5pm.
I like your effort but it needs more shadow highlights to match the later time of day.

I still wonder why we dont have post saturation option in video settings (or at least in config file)....

Well done people, some lovely images :)

Here's some of my attempts

http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/picture...&pictureid=725

yeah, unless the photographing plane has got a VERY strong flashlight, there should've been at least some sunlight, as the plane is partly lit from above. And the shadows would correspond to early evening imo.

Also, maybe you should zoom in a little more on the plane. In the original, both wings 'end over the thames', perspectivically. If you can do that in the first place... I for my part have got certain issues with zooming which I've not figured out (or bothered with) yet :)

edit: @chicomick wow, very, very nice, especially the first pic.
I think you hit the sweet spot where the sim is nearly indistinguishable to reality on that 'photo'. The cloud shadows add quite a lot on this, imo :)
Now we can create alternate history and sell it to historians! They certainly would give a lot for a photo which shows that first german bomber to hit the london docks! :twisted:

fantastic work folks !

wowzers ! the direction you guys are taking this is just excellent.

That's terrific Winny !!!! :o

Jesus, that looks real!

Messerschmitt Bf.109E-3

i can even begin to complain about how much the city landscape graphic sucks.

Geezzzzz

NOW THAT LOOKS COOL :)

Let me guess: Bug, right? And I wondered how long it would take for the first random, unrelated rant would appear. We've got a lot of threads for those (not that I wouldn't use them myself... extensively).

Atros that is so cool!

Lancerr it's stunning.

I am only on page one. I am sure I will see more on the next.

Things like this bring tears to my eyes because they're so beautiful. It's unbelievable how cool this is to me. There are so many very talented and smart people in these forums.

Thanks for these post.

Just look at his history then you will understand. /ignore

I love this shot, it reminds me of the 'last resting place' of some old aircraft, no longer needed. As a kid I used to play in an old Anson which lay rusting and gradually sinking into rising the grass... sigh

Something very pleasing and even theraputic about that picture..

Alright, if this is going to be the overall quality of the future CloD GFX, I'm sold and will complain no more. This image is simply very atmospheric and very beautiful - love it...

Nice skin Kristorf, bus isn't the yellow spinner band a tad to wide?

LOL nice shots!!!

how do you get your screenshots? when I p[ress F12 nothing happens...

I would like ot know how you get your screenshots now-when I press F12 nothin g happens now...

What a great thread, thank you :)

I use a little free program called picpic

That is fantastic!!! Great show!!

Yes mate, about 5 pixels

Altered it and changed the code letters to a slightly less vivid shade of sky, I will post a screen later

Oh, these are nice!

It seems to me you are adding weathering to the skin file?

Bloody nice skins'again!!'Kristof,.....are you uploading these anywhere,or are you just teasing us,lol.:grin:

Beautiful skins as always Kristoff, if only you flew for the dark side :)

Can someone explain to me why my screenies are now .bmp and not .jpg as they used to be? Is there a way of changing it back to jpeg? I actually didn't mind the Steam screenshot manager thing but that stopped working ages ago and they were always jpegs. I know .bmps are better quality but file sizes are huge and jpeg quality is good enough.

Any suggestions appreciated :)

But,..... Isn't he already doing that????

:-P :-P :-P

Hi Kristoff, very nice skins, Will you be uploading them to A&A paintworks?

A&A don't do CLoD, just IL2.

Looking for some place to upload, but real life issues are pushing this down the order at the moment

Airwarfare Kris??

Long story mate........

rgrt m8, well i look forward to when you can get um uploaded :)

Uploaded some documentary photos from Repka servers into a Picasa gallery. https://picasaweb.google.com/1002171...JGJtN_Yh4y4Fw#

Very good ones.
Thanks for sharing.

Ran out of ammo. Had to ram the last one. :grin:

You didn't make sure that the engine cover latches were secure on your pre flight check?.. lol!

My current project, civil versions of the Bf 108.

This is the second paintscheme, which is way more difficult to get right, cause 1C modelers are back to form when it comes to messing up the mapping. It is no Spit IX, but definitely worthy of some corrections. Anyway, I am still tracing mapping locations on the texture as there is no template or void available for the Bf 108.

Update on D-IPLO.

Still struggling with the inner cockpit framing... I curse whoever mapped this...

http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/b...606_011316.jpg

is that the real colour for D IPLO ?

Yes, most private Bf 108s were painted in RLM24. Same for D-IPLO.

http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z...leScaleAir.jpg

Pretty little bird,are there still any flying today?

so why you not using RLM 24 in game ? it was that similar image at stylings page that prompted my question. also to accomodate for ingame lighting colours still need tweaked a some what.
http://i.imgur.com/Egj9Kl.jpg

anyway the artwork & detail on this plane is shocking. well below par of the spit or 109. some of these non flyables need a serious makeover.

this photo reminds me Mykonos :grin:

It's at Le Havre ... ;)

RLM24 - I'm not trying to nit- pick, and I don't know much about those colours. But for accuracy's sake neither of those posted look like these:

http://www.modelcars.com/model-kits/...blue-rlm24.jpg

indeed. i took mine from here, completely different. a bad source. http://rhorta.home.xs4all.nl/jgrlm.htm that colour you posted seems correct.
