Hello DESPEREAUX,

thanks. 

Hello friends,

for example, check out these (outdated but now revised) images:

I'm not arguing, as I mentioned before, FW is not a good option, I just had this template on hand.. I'm talking in general, there are aircraft such as bombers that have visible rivets. Reliefs can also be seen on the planes of the First World War. I’m talking about rivets in general, not specifically about FW, but if they are barely noticeable, but there are, like on the lower part of the wing of the image, then this does not interfere.

... it is mainly high performance aircraft (fighters) that had their rivets covered with body filler, prior to being painted, all this to get better max speed and mileage ... 

See my edited previous post for pictures ...

Hi Mick,

it was clear to me that you would get in touch again.

Where are your skins to download?

The airplanes (as far as they were not glued together from wood) were riveted from sheet metal, welding was not well developed at that time.

After sanding and repainting, the rivets were no longer visible from a distance, but the rivets were there!

An FW-190 differed significantly from an Me-109. I have not yet created an FW-190 in 4k (4096²). Here is an example of a Focke Wulf-190 skin (2048²) from me:

Mick, because of your unqualified statements, I have now attached an extended "readme" to each skin I uploaded:

================================================================================================================================
For explanation:

These totally scratched and dirty skins which are asked for here again and again (hello Mick & others) are nonsensical!

Why?

I always start a mission from the airfield, from my base!

In a German squadron, 15 - 20 men, engineers, technicians, locksmiths, welders,

hydraulic technicians and brush cleaning rag workers... are employed for a single pilot!

It doesn't matter whether it's a fighter plane, fighter-bomber, bomber, reconnaissance plane or whatever.

A German pilot would never have climbed into such a dirty and tattered machine at take-off, as is expected here as skins.

Well-trained pilots and operational aircraft were far too rare for a pilot to take any risks!

Again, I always start a mission from my base! The machine I start has to be technically perfect and clean (I'm a GERMAN pilot)!

The skins I paint are for me! If I think my work is good, I'll share the skins I've created with you.

If you prefer dirty and scratched skins, please. Then paint what you want on my skins.

Many a Skinner has seen a photograph of a German plane wreck (taken by an Allied photographer after the war)

and now opined that all German planes had served in that condition.

This is nonsense!


One more thing to think about:

A German pilot always started his serviced, repaired and maintained machine from his base!

You want dirty tattered planes in your game, then paint yourself some!

By the way: In my skin folders there is always a skin "xxx_NoNr", paint your number on it if you like.


I either added this to the "Download" page or shared it in the "readme":


Never ask for permission, it is not necessary.

I want to see my skins in your campaigns and missions.

So upload the campaigns and missions with my skin folders when you use them.

On the skin that you presented, you can just see the rivets I'm talking about. I just achieved their visibility in a different way.

[DESPEREAUX]

Which part do you think looks more interesting?

DESPEREAUX,

I'm sorry but I can not enlage your pic. Please do pic uploads as "Direct link". 

Thanks

I do not know why it happened that it is impossible to download. Here you are.

But this is not necessary, I meant to evaluate as you see. In my opinion, the first option looks more interesting.

Thanks Mick for the links, very informative Like I said, I don't argue.

[bomberkiller]

No problem Despreaux! 

...and here the "non visible rivets" pic send by Mick:

(please click the pic...)



I only enlarged the photo to simulate a close-up view.

 

[DESPEREAUX]

But still, not all planes hid rivets
