oops - forgot to mention - i haven't installed this yet, but sometimes a franken-based plane might actually make use of more than one skin file, which can complicate matters.

if you encounter such an issue, best ask the author if he knows which other files are used for the skin.  ;)

Hello Eugene, yes this aircraft like most of the frankens requires a number of different skin files, hence the reason in making one for the host nation, in this case USA, with a blank Multi1 slot for the others so you can use in game markings.

Normal skin folders are no use here really as they can have the skin mapped in all kinds of strange ways.

If I recall correctly the wing skin for this is in the summer folder and is from the B-29, they are the usual named skin1o.tga etc. with I think the fuselage which is a skin from the C-47 using the files Skin3o outside of the summer folder.

It is all really confusing, especially for me, Alex usually does all the messing about inside the mod. :D

Wishing you all the very best, Pete. ;D

Wohooooo, very very nice! I am working on a windowed version of this skin as we speak. I will send it to you once I am done.

Again, spaciba drugat!

EDIT: I actually like the bigger version more :P But, I am using the updated skin that was included to make a proper airliner skin that should work with both.

OK, here we go, I have made the skin of an Airliner (more or less proper) using the resources so generously given to me by Bison_M :>

The DC-4 Airliner!








And here is the skin for you to do whatever you so desire with! :D

Wow, the first jet airliner in IL-2? YES ! YES ! YES ! And let's not forget the tanker version, which would be perfect for air refuel   ;D

New airplane fixes and new proper skins.

This is for game version 4.12 ... and may work on other versions.

--- DOWNLOAD ---> https://www.mediafire.com/file/4p4p46q6zisx411/C-54_Quick_Fix_and_RetexturedSkins.7z

This is from the READ ME file which is inside this download...
..............................................................................................

This is a quick fix for this C-54.

Remove your old version and replace the folder with these versions.
There are 2 folders.

The airplane-mod folder is at the bottom, the other folder must come on top of it for
this airplane to work properly. It contains important files in it.
Do not mix the files into the same folder and do NOT remove them!

Just leave them as they are, but you can rename the folders to what you use in
your game folder structure.
Just keep one folder on top of the other as I have mine.


This is what I am using in my personal game. Use it if you wish.
ALL credit goes to the creators of this mod-aircraft.

The light flickering problems reflecting off its fuselage have been fixed by
normalizing ALL the values written in the files and their light paragram values.

New skins also added to have a more harmonious color and tone in the entire aircraft metal finish.
The USA version has the early type of roundel on its sides because it also uses the
same roundel on its wings when you select for "markings".
The Multi version contains no roundels, only an all bare-metal finish.
The roundels may be selected from the main menu in the game before you fly the airplane.

I left the cockpit skins as they were.
If you wish to change these colors, go look inside my DC-3 airline , or the C-47 ,
skin retextures for the cockpit and you will see a new set of skins which you can also use in this airplane.
The tires are still a little square looking, but may be fixed later on when I have the time.


Happy flying and THANK YOU for creating this very cool looking "franken" C-54 Skymaster.
Cheers
MAX

I forgot to mention,
this airplane does need a new skin-template for more realistic skins, but that will have to wait.
At the present moment it uses parts from 4 different airplanes !...
... A B-29, a B-17, a C-47 and some other unknown aircraft. It is really a Frankenplane.  ;D But it is better than nothing !
So enjoy it ! We have no other C-54.
