Dave....even at 2048 the detail is fudged...as it's drawn 'per pixel', ie. lines are typically 1 pixel wide....and sadly there's no such thing as a half-pixel...so lines end up at best a 1 pixel halftone 'blur'.
1024 is only 1/16 the number of pixels to represent the 'image' as 4096....so 'detail' is going to be a misnomer.
DDS is about as good as it gets maintaining image-size 'sanity'....

Oh yeah.. appreciate all the above mate.

You mention half pixels.. just how annoying is it when a map is half a pixel out and you can't paint it to put it right!

You sling em out as you see fit mate. I'll catch up with a new graphics card one day

I better add Bjoern's DL link again....as we cycle into a new page....
Just uploaded Romanian AF N399ZA 'Splinter' Camo in 4096 here...

Dave....would it pay to bundle 2048 vers with each upload...so people can opt for what they can manage? Just means there are 8 images to shrink and save-as ...

Well, the 2048 bumps are default anyway, so you don't need to include 'em.

I suggest a separate package for each resolution. The download size for the 2048 version will thus be rather small and more advantageous for users on data plans or slower connections.

Bjoern...yes, I'd figured that separate 2048 res uploads would be the go, rather than bundling them with the high-res ...

Meanwhile....this one's been uploaded here today ... White Rus Aerobatics Team.

[Jafo]

And another uploaded.... Vandy 1 "Fight's On" ...in 4096 ...

Having come late to this plane, where can I find all these great repaints?

[DaveB]

They're filtering through to the library here Jo

Had yet another rethink of spec when it comes to metal finishes vs paint. I knda like the way it's coming along...

[Jafo]

Preparing a bunch more for upload....means going back into them and updating 'stuff'...

Meanwhile this one's looking more 'right'...

[Jafo]

Suddenly realised I hadn't done an Aussie one [got all caught up with South Africans...] ...so...here's VH-HOT .
Shall get back to uploading next...

[Jafo]

HIT and RUN have been uploaded here [ZU-HIT and ZU-RUN].

ZU-HIT was destroyed in a crash 30-6-2012. Pilot - Gianfranco Cicogna was sadly killed.

[Jafo]

....and "Heart Surge" uploaded...

[Jafo]

Vyazma Rus No.3 has been uploaded here [all of 'em so far are in 4096] ...

[Jafo]

The latest upload in 4096 .... Biele Albatrosy 5301. Had a bit of reworking to do...found some better images...



....and ZU-KIM... also redone.

[Jafo]

Another one uploaded....4096. Firecat. [firecatjet.com]

[Bjoern]

Flood it, Paul! Flood that library good and flood it hard!

[Jafo]

Flood it, Paul! Flood that library good and flood it hard!

I shall do my darnedest...

[Jafo]

Le flood continueth...
L39 [it's a ZA actually] Czech 40 Years anniversary uploaded...

[Jafo]

Another one uploaded...."Marines". N139JT. Not the wildest of paints...



And of course.....a Breitling ...

[Bjoern]

I wish I had taken more than a single photo of the L-39V at Gatow so I could beg for a Jafo-treated repaint of it and provide details.


And apparently, I can fly on a L-39 in Germany for 2000€. Donations, anyone?

[Jafo]

Ah....a request....

I shall see what I can do.

I still have about 20 to compile/convert to dds and upload, but like the Breitling it's not always easy to choose what's next [there are 3 basic variations of the Breitling].

Specific model designation...CN number...AC ID .... anything that can refine a search....is all that's needed [usually]...

Edit....
Won't be a problem....heaps of photos available.....consider it done [metaphorically]...

[Jafo]

VERY early days...but the fuse stripe/colour change is mostly OK.
There's quite a few pics of this critter...way more than some I have attempted [X-02 springs to mind]...

Edit...added a bit more...had to fiddle with an East German Logo...
