Yes, good link.  Thanks Gerax, these make great Launch-Screens.  I put together this one for when I want to fly the WWI era stuff.  It reminds me of a War Comic cover, not surprising because I have so many.

Of course, you can have a special Launch Screen for any campaign or phase of a conflict that you like! 

Gerax links have proved a rich vein!

What an interesting thread!  Here's where it lead me!

Sems we love the same style of paintings ..   

Yes! Thanks for your links Gerax, half of the new screens originate there, very good quality upload. 

Finding the right quality and converting a painting to a Screen.tga is not a simple process. For the best effect, I spent some time working with different layers to get the best reproduction.

Particularly pleased with the Shinden, F-86s and the Wellington.

Haven't done this one yet. but have several like it ready to use...

How to make? - The Loadscreen is resident in STD/GUI, usually called Background.tga, alondside an associated .mat file.  Anyone can take the tga and modify with paintshop, illustrator etc.

Beware though, ALWAYS BACK UP.

The older graphics structure of IL2 requires a bit of tinkering with the resolution and format of your image, re-saving the tga file in the right proportions and resolution that works with your graphics card settings. It doesn't always show up as intended first time, or defaults to the basic blah-image instead.  No problem if you backed up though...

A number of people have show-cased some excellent Start-up Screens and images here. The tremendous amount of work and skill required to get them to this quality inside the sim has been somewhat skated over. Like anything else here, practice, practice, practice!
