Title: Curtiss Hawk II
Post by: dona on November 07, 2021, 11:10:42 PM: This is a set of historic skins for the Curtiss Hawk II as recently posted by 101tfs. Skins were made using the PSD file also provided by 101tfs. File contains both 1024 and HD skins for aircraft of the Thai, Chinese, Bolivian, Colombian, and Turkish Air Forces. Bolivian Hawks were used extensively during the Chaco War with Paraguay. Likewise, Colombian Hawks saw combat during the Leticia Incident with Peru. Chinese Hawk IIs were in service in the early stages of the Japanese invasion of China. Also included in US Navy markings is the first production example of the F11C-2 (no tail hook unfortunately). In BAT 4.2, skins should be place in the "F11CHawkII" folder. If you install the 101tfs in an early game version you will need to placed the skins in the "F6C4Hawk" folder in your skins folder for that version of the game. Enjoy.

Hopefully we will see this beauty with it's own slot in the next iteration of BAT ;) For now, skins need to placed in the "F6C4Hawk" folder in your skins folder.

I only saw this bit just now!
The Goshawk was already introduced in BAT 4.2 TGA! It accepts 1024 skins with the last patch too.
Skins folder is "F11CHawkII"

Post by: herbarnold99 on January 06, 2022, 06:30:20 PM: These are beautiful skins, but for some reason they don't show up in game for me. They are properly listed in the 'arming' screen, but they just don't appear. I'm running 4.12/5.3 and using the 1024 sized skins. Any suggestions?

thx
Herb

Post by: Vampire_pilot on January 07, 2022, 12:50:04 AM: if you have the stand-alone of the Hawk II installed (meaning: not BAT), then you will need HD skins.
Title: Re: Curtiss Hawk II
Post by: herbarnold99 on January 07, 2022, 11:27:47 AM: When I use the HD (2048) skins, they don't even show up on the list as available skins on the 'arming' page.

I'm doing something wrong, I've been able to downsize most HD skins and use them successfully...

hmm

Post by: agracier on January 08, 2022, 08:00:02 AM: This is something new for me.

With the 1024 skins, I either get the pink color, which then in game ends up showing as the default skin.

(https://i.postimg.cc/FFbQmbBZ/2022-01-08-14-45-41.jpg) (https://postimg.cc/XXvPk53G)

Then i tried turning the indexed skins into RGB skins and I got the following, which is really weird.

Any idea what i should do to correct this?

BAT 4.2, is my default game version. I never fly in any other version anymore.
I tried the skins out in that version. And used the integrated version of the HawkII that comes with BAT.
I did not install anything new in the way of the HawkII.

I also have the 4096 dll's installed should they have any bearing on the skins.

Post by: Vampire_pilot on January 08, 2022, 02:12:56 PM: Ah. You need the update 4.2.1 for the skin fix.

Before that it was 2k only.

Aha ... I am still busy with fiddling around with 4.2.1 to mod it to my odd little personal preferences and appearances. I like to add some favorite mods, new (and older) planes/modded planes that haven't been added yet, set different startup screens and stuff like that ... it has little to do with actually flying, but I often have just as much fun reconfiguring/modding the game as actually flying ...

Anyway, thanks ... I will use the skins in 4.2.1 ... learned something again ... :)
