  Hi all friends, I have a request, who is it that is reminiscent of the skin of the Mig-3(also in ud version) taxi? is a skin stock of the game and is in the format 512x512..

  is a long time since flight with mig (because until now I was doing the war with update, Pacht and mods [FINALLY I'VE WON!!] ).. but I found myself with a bad surprise (indeed horrible!) when I chose the mig with its skin taxi..  I have tried to do it again in 1024, but it remains very difficult for me and then I realized that I do not have the appropriate program to make skins of any kind.. I care too much to the skin, because with that, I had my first baptism of fire in multiplayer.. please tell me someone knows where to find it in 1024x1024? please tell me.. I can not live without my "taxi to hell"!

I think I have the Taxi skin in an old PC  I'll check and let you know!

EDIT! : I found it! But... it's 512x512. Do you still need it? I can try to resize, resample, and sharpen it if you want, and see if it still looks ok. I'll try that tonight.

  thank you very much.. I tried but I'm not able.. it's really hard to redo the skin and place it to the size 1024x1024... I know that you expect a nice job ..  expect to hear from you mate!

no problem! I'll resize it and sharpen it, and try to make it as crisp as possible. I'll get it touch as soon as I'm able. it may be a few days but I'll get back with you for sure.

  thank you very much! Yay is returning to the taxi murderess! oh my God I can not wait! I'm too happy!!

Here is the old TAXI skin as promised Kelevra! 

I hope you enjoy them. As requested I used irfanview to resize these to 1024 for you. I also resampled and sharpened them to help the look after the resize.

I included the unaltered 512x512 version and the new 1024x1024 version.

Credits: Unknown, as this skin shipped with my original boxed Il-2 Sturmovik or Pacific Fighters, and there is not one word of credits on the skin. 

NOTE: these skins are for the original MiG-3 3D model, and will NOT fit the new Aviaskins model. I have neither the skill nor the know how currently to make that adjustment. Sorry. 

[Kelevra]

YAHOO!! I try it now.. I'll let you know how it goes

[Kelevra]

does not recognize the skin.. it is as if it did not exist in the game.. is the first time that such a thing happens! I do not know what to say.. ??? I added new skin many times and they all work fine.. try it yourself and tell me if it makes the same joke

When you save a skin that is intended for the base game always make sure to check the file size. A 1024x1024 8-bit Indexed color skin is exactly 1MB. The game does not recognize this one because it's currently in RGB color mode and as such it is 3MB. Unless you have the HD/True color mod the game will not load the skin.
Solution - change the color mode to "Indexed Color" and save it as a 8-bit bmp.

Best Regards,
