Title: Skins for BP Defiant in CUP
Post by: laugust5 on April 29, 2016, 07:35:36 PM

Just wanted to say it would be nice to have some additional skins for the "Frankenplane" BP Defiant that's included in CUP. It's nice to have it included, but it'd be great to have some more skin options, like a night fighter skin, etc.

Thanks

i've tried making a nightfighter skin for the Defiant - although quite successful, it's a really tricky thing to do, as the franken nature of this plane uses parts from about 3 or 4 different textures, so it's a real nightmare to try and skin.
even the skin i did still has a big white cowling intake under the fuselage which is in white, and no matter what i do, i can't find the texture responsible for that...
so, my result was a nice black nightfighter skin with a big white cowling under the fuselage - far from ideal.
it's also pretty complicated to use these different parts, which is why i haven't uploaded it.

That's interesting. I learned something. Well, perhaps we'll get something down the road. I'd even like some different day skins...btw- do you thinki theres any chance that we'll ever see the JU-88A1 in CUP? That'd also be nice for BoB missions?
