[prille59]

I´ve just started to skin for il2 sturmovik. My problem is this,

in CS3 it looks like this,



but in the game like this,




Is this CS3 settings or graphic card (ATI)

That looks like it could be a map error. Stick another texture on the same spot, what does it do?

I am not sure what you mean by map error and another texture, i am a total newbie
to skinning. The pictures are from the upper wing of He-51

I'm no 3D guy, but what I meant was distortion in the 3D mapping, not something you or Photoshop did. But that's just my guess. I don't have IL-2 so I've got no way to look at that. Have you looked at the stock texture in that spot looks like?

But maybe I have this wrong, do you mean the distortion of your texture, or the color effect?

Is it the subtle changes in color you are noticing? For me, that's what shows most in those images.

Thanks for the quick replyes. I start over again english is not my first language so its difficault to explain my problem.

I want it to look something like nr 2 but i get nr 1. The tutorial i use is this.

AHA! I thought that the curvature was what the problem.
That looks like a bit depth conversion type problem...whatever that means
One of the IL-2 experts will need to work this one out.

Now i know what it is, in conf.ini i changed the TexCompress=0 to TexCompress=2. Due to can channel map ctd, and this lower the texture in the game
Thanks for the replies.
