I have a small question about the 4096 x 4096 textures,what exact resolution size do they have to be for skins?

The answer would be... 4096x4096 
but why so BIG a skin?
I believe the actual 3d-game model can only show so much in size and for it to be using a high-resolution 4096x2 skin is not
that necessary. But if you are willing to go to such an effort and paint from scratch a skin-template and skins,
go for it and see what happens.
Remember that "re-sizing" a 2048x2048 skin to be bigger will not be a good solution.
It must be a completely new 4096x2 skin-template done from scratch, all new lines, all new rivets and all new interior parts.
As for me, I will not do any 4096 skins in the future. Its just too much for my computer to handle such a load and still keep
a good FPS rate on everything that is going around in the game. What I really need is a super computer.

I really wasn't planning on going that high either max,and I know they would have to be 4096x2 I was wondering about dpi and Bit Depth.Could they be lets say 32 Bit Depth I wonder?

Now (in this version) of is accessible using a 512, 1024, 2048, texture of the skin of the Earth, objects, aircraft.
Use 4096 will be in the following version.
The plane in 4096 pixels of skin looks perfectly.
Earth in 4096 pixels textures looks perfectly.
Yes there is a lot of work for the artist!
It for the real judges and gourmets.

I had to experiment quite a lot before hitting on the right combination of dll's to get the 2048 textures working.

But in the end, it was just the light dll's that made the difference. They were the ones I needed to get it all to work. It might very be that the working or not working of the mod is related to your processor and graphics card. If so, then it will be difficult to set up a definitive protocol for installation. Modders don't have a Research and Development budget equal to that of corporations ... though they often do come up with better solutions if you ask me ... 

I've found that drops in frs, have not come from the 2048 texture mods and dll's, but from other mods that I've installed from time to time, such as the far distance mod, groundsmokepuffs, guncam tracers etc etc ... these and others have been the real frs killers in my install.

One of the great features of Il-2 is the possibility of installation of multiple copies that will all work. I usually have a virgin clean copy on hand, used just to try out difficult mods ...

Very good answer.
Maybe someone wants to create a campaign to fund this campaign and to complete
scientific studies?

[carsmaster]

...thanks guys, i certainly wasn't expecting some miracle to happen...

Use default Dlls.

carsmaster, i assume that simply means the mod won't work for me.
in that case, that's all i needed to know.
thankyou. problem solved.
