***Swissflight Skins released***

Post by Jetfighter »

Hello!

I'm glad (and even a bit proud) to announce the release of my latest skin creations. I think they have turned out very nicely.

There are quite some additions to Swissflight:

MiG-21: Russia, Irak, Syria, North Vietnam, Egypt
Su-7: Iraq
Tornado: RAF Operation Desert Storm
Su-24 Fencer: Irak and Iran
Su-25 and Su-39 Frogfoot: Russia (4 Skins), Irak
F-4G Phantom II: Modern USAF skin has been upgraded

One of the most important features is the addition of 512x512 (high-res) skins. You'll easily notice the improved quality when using high-res textures. But - those textures only work with the latest graphics cards (with a lot of video memory). Voodoo 3 and older Voodoo cards as well as other old graphics cards don't support those high-res textures. So, standard sized textures are still available for all skins.

To be able to use those 512x512 textures, you must get Mike Rivers TexApp plugin.

:) I'm sure you understand...

Another bunch of serious eyecandy is already in the works :).

Many thanks go to CCC, Vexx and Speaker for the testing of the high-res textures and continous support of my work. Furthermore, thanks go to Spike for his new MiG-21 model which made the better skins possible, and to Mike Rivers whose TexApp plugin makes possible all the glory of 512 textures :).

[***CCC - get the latest versions of the Desert Storm skins there!]

enjoy!

Hey -

Any chance of getting these files in F4Patch format? These skins look too great not to make easily available to the mass public (or people too stupid to use F4Skin like me!!! ;) !

Thanks

For skins used in ODS theater, i've added them in ODS installer, no worry, skins will be switched automatically.

As for other skins, im figuring what theater can use them-- most of them best fit Europe theater, some could be used in different ODS campaign/Israeli, and vietnam theater.
