Re: Impressive skin files!

akaik until now there?s no skinsite for targetware. and I don?t think they?ll be something like this in futuretime, because in targetland are much more 3D artists around than texture artists, so some planes ingame still have a temporary skin. every 3D model I painted until know was done completely from the scratch, so if you?re interrested in a paintjob you can ask on their boards for a template. (for now Blowhard and I are the only skinners from TW hanging around here )

for the tga/dds stuff: just save your work as a 24bit tga in the targetware/data/mod/planes/ac-type/skn subfolder, thats all. (alpha channels aren?t supported afaik) than create a skn*.skn file with a simple texteditor, it looks this way:
