CoD disappointing in skinning matters!

[Cap'n Crunch]

There's other considerations, we don't know exactly how all the modeling is tied into the skins yet, no one ever objected to damage model textures being locked in IL-2.

You have far greater latitude in creating a textured and detail based paint jobs. Hammered was a master at paint texture, even between the panels his overall paint technique was most impressive.

It's a fallacy to claim historical accuracy on rivet patterns and lines on even a 2000+ pixel map. You can only simulate or interpolate the feel, no way you can realistically recreate a full set of riveting or precise lines, there aren't enough pixels or sufficient detail on the models provided.

Lets see what can be done artistically first before throwing in the towel, some will find whole new opportunities to exploit their much larger canvas in a far brighter world.

I for one will not mourn the death of the over sized rivets that were visible on 90%+ of all custom skins in IL2.

It will also be nice not to have 20.5 gigs of skins (current size of my IL2 skins folder) taking up space on my drive. Honestly, there is no way you can possibly use all of them. I have a few favorites and the rest just take up space.

Not knocking the work of the fine folks that do quality work, but I have skin overload. Just don't need 'em anymore.

Understand this is way way back and things have changed but Ilya starts to explain the skins at 2:00 minutes. I'm not sure if it's the same now. I know there are still multi files to deal with though....No more black blobby rivets on 109s by some of those skinners
