The past is now.
Ever felt nostalgic? Are you one of the few people like me that misses the classic default skins of Forgotten Battles? Maybe Pacific fighters? Original 1946 even? Then this is for you.
Forgotten Aesthetics finally releases with all the original default skins!
From Forgotten Battles first release,

All the way up to the planes of 1946!

DISCLAIMER: No, these skins are not meant to be historical in any way, as they are purely for nostalgic purposes. Also, some planes like the Hs-129, Ju-88 & Pe-8 were excluded as they had different 3Ds.

This is tower, alright. You're cleared for landing.
NOTE: By default, this is a jsgmemod that runs on SAS modact. If you use a different mod, simply go into the Forgotten_Aesthetics folder & rename "#SAS" to whatever mod you use.

UPDATE: This expansion now includes the Pacific Fighters default skins!

I'll try to make .bmp skins out of them, but there will be loads to convert!

Any updates to standalone skins?

Venator there are plenty of tools available to convert TGA in BMP. I personally use GIMP but Paint or PS and even specifically dedicated tools available at FM site. A quick search and maybe ten minutes of practice will enable you have the old skins you like. you can get a quick info on the conversion here

I'll make more, this time for popular modded planes & Post-4.09m planes!

Sweet! Today I finally figured out how to take those pesky TGBs and convert them into BMPs in IL-2 using IMF viewer and GIMP. Took a bit of research but finally I can do it! Keep up your good work on skins, outstanding stuff.

Cheers! First modded planes to get this treatment will be Bf-109 Ultimate Pack.

I cannot open these TGA files.

Il-2 uses a special compressed version of tga files that you can open and convert to regular tga using the imf viewer
