Storch skins...

[Rami]

Hey guys,

SteveB has done some fantastic skins for Piglet's Stroch, and I thought some of you might want to get your hands on them.

If you look in the download queue, you'll see one for the Luftwaffe in Greece, a couple for the Eastern Front, one for Germany, and one for the Regia Aeronautica.

If you go through the link I included, you'll also find many other WWII and post WWII skins he has done. These include skins for the African desert, Northern Italy, Finland, and many more.

Now, these are for FS9 and need to be converted, but Martin Wright's DXTbmp utility can easily fix that.

Here's a link to the beautiful aircraft, in case you don't have it.

First of all, you'll need the program: http://www.btinternet.com/~mnwright/programs/dxtbmp.htm

Actually, the skins that I tried worked fine 'out of the box', they don't have any alpha channels to render them semi-transparent :kilroy:.

Glad you like them, I release all my fs9 paints in dxt3 format so in theory they should work in cfs2.
