Title: NEW - JUNKERS-52 = Changes ALL Versions =Side Windows
Post by: max_thehitman on May 29, 2015, 10:59:08 AM
from the READ ME file... READ IT !

These work for all modded game versions... 4.08 -to- 4.13, Cup, DBW, etc. etc.

READ ME - VERY IMPORTANT


PLEASE READ this before you make any changes - YOU DECIDE if you want this change to your game!

I take no responsibility in your bad installation of these files if you do not follow instructions.

-------------------------------/---/------------------------------

Here is a completely new change to your game aircraft Junkers Ju-52 (All versions).

This is not a 3D-change, but it is a change to make this aircraft look more like the original designed
airplane and how it was built.

These changes happen inside the Alpha-Channel skin and are for the side windows and the fuselage antenna.
The damaged parts remain the same as on the original game airplane and I might change them if I see
it needs some better details to them... But at the moment I have left them as they are.

These new skins will make your airplane model look more like a real Junkers 52... Although this
will also turn many skins you already have in your collection a little obsolete.


Since this game was released to the general public, no one looked into this detail or even noticed this problem with
the junkers-52 side windows. It could have been changed and made right since the start ... unfortunately it took
15 years to really notice this problem. Its so simple to change !

-------------------------------/---/------------------------------

I have created a new skin-template for default skin with about 90% all new parts, new lines, new details to fit
this airplane version better to look more historical.
I have included the names of IMME and FOO.BAR on the skins - to also give credit to the original creators
of the original skin-templates and for their fine art contributions to our IL2-1946 game over the years. I value
and cherish all of their skins. Great Art from great artists. Thank You.


If the new skin artists (Skinners) decide to make these painted changes to their already posted skins and re-upload them
once again, it is up to them. - I will not make , or paint, or post ANY previous posted skins to anyone.

---------------------------------------

HOW TO INSTALL THIS...

Now you will see two folders in this package.

YOU MUST HAVE THE NEW JUNKERS JU-52 Mods with new wheels...new engines... new navigational lights...
for ALL 4 Airplane versions....

Ju-52_3mg3e <-- The original version with the machine-gunner in the belly gondola and wheel spats.

Ju-52_3mg4e <-- The military version used during WW2, with a top machine-gunner.

Ju-52_3mg5e <-- The seaplane version

JU_52_TRANS <-- The transport/civilian version with no top gunner.


Look into your game where you have installed these mods...and just Copy+Paste and overwrite the old files with these new files.

If you do not see these folders in your game, but you already have them installed in your game...
Just add these new folders to make these changes visible.

It is that simple to do.

It is just a small change in the Default skin, but you will see a difference on how you will look at this airplane
from now on.

Some screenshots... so you can notice how the side windows look like on the original airplane.
Don't mind the little pixels on these images, I have to tweak my graphic card to not show so many jagged-edges-

Hello, could a kind soul inform me on how to make paras visible (as passengers)  in the game? Many thanks in advance,

Thank you for this wonderful work.
To conclude, would it be possible to improve the shape and length of exhausts and readjust the motor position that seems too forward (that's my feeling).
Thank you again.

Max is possible somehow to have a civilian transport/passenger variant with wheel spats?

Sure, anything is possible.
One could experiment by taking the wheel spats from the early Military version model from 1934-1938 and then
put them on this civilian/transport version. It might look good too.

But what about all the other civilian/transport versions that never used wheel-spats?
We only have ONE civilian/transport 3-d-model .
I think this calls for a new slot, if someone is willing to make it for this particular version with wheel-spats.

Personally,
I am already very happy with the 4 model versions we have in our game (it is enough for me)
...
- The early military version
- The WW2 version
- The seaplane version
- the Civilian/transport version

Not yet good friend.
This week you will have about 125+ skins in a "generic style",  with 95% of them being blanks with no roundels an
no markings. Everyone can use the games country roundels for their flying pleasure.
There are some marked skins, like aircraft Ambulance versions and some pre-WW2 German Luftwaffe aircraft that cannot use the
games roundels for these specific airplanes.

Next week will come the skin-packages with skins representing all the real aircraft with their detailed markings and roundels.
This EURASIA version will be included in the package too.  :)

Cheers
MAX

Rgr, looking forward to this. Hope one of our 3d gurus will be able to add the spats on the civilian variant. The Eurasia scheme is grest, specially the one in the upper pic.

Very good looking wheel spats Jeronimo!  8) All we need now is another slot for this version, if anyone
can make it happen.

Personally, I would not mind having another Junkers-52 version... More civilian aircraft for our airports! Sometime back in the
1920s and 1930s, civilian and military airplanes often shared the same airports and landing fields. It must have been
a wonderful sight to see it up close. - Not to mention the huge Zeppelins that also landed nearby!  :D

I am doing some skins for our Huge WW1 Zeppelins to look like civilian versions from the 1920-30s era.
 I will post them soon for you all.  :)
- All you have to do, is add them to your game taking them from the DBW-1916 game-version. Its very easy to do.
So prepare for some "LED ZEPPELIN" coming soon!

Thank you PA_Jeronimo!

Being a numpty at modding I wonder if its possible for someone more gifted than me to put together two packs for JSGME.
One for Max's great work here (thank you Max) and one for the one we have now.
Over the years I have collected many Tante Ju skins that I would hate to lose but would still like to use Max's as well .
Could this be an option perhaps ?

Here is a good alternative choice to do, instead of adding more packs to your JSGME.
Keep the original "summer" folder that is inside your Junkers JU-52 airplane folder. -  The old original Default skins contain the "Alpha Channel"
that uses most of the old skins (The ones with square windows).

Then copy this folder I made (also named "summer") BUT write a minus sign in from of it ...like this... " -summer ".
When ever you want to use the old airplane with the square windows, use the original Default skin with those 4 default skin-files inside of it.

But when you would like to see another version of the Junkers-52 with the proper windows a little slanted , just remove the minus
sign in front to the folder and you can use this version.
Don't forget to place a minus sign on the other folder, so the game does not read that folder.

I have 2 folders inside my game for the Junkers Ju-52 family mods.
- I can always choose which version to fly and which skins fit better on the airplane model.

There is no need to disregard any of the old skins. They are great art and can still be used.
I use them all.
