P2V Neptune skin pack
« on: May 11, 2017, 07:44:48 AM »

updates included with part 2(June 3, 2017)
here: https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,55467.msg601129.html#new


Hello,

Some skins for the franken Neptune used in BAT. Franken anomolies will show, but they came out ok. A strange one is the shade of grey on the late models nose will remarkably change based on the map used. You'll still see some beginner errors, I'm sure. Template by Harpia_Mafra, which made things easier.

Includes Korean and Vietnam US Navy squadrons that saw combat, RB-69 electronic spy planes, Cold war squadron USN skins, and generic USN blanks. The Navy gunships have an interesting history, VO-67(field green skin) dropping sensors and patrolling the HCM trail, and the gray VAH-21 gunships following up with interdiction, using gun pods and napalm. FLIR, terrain following radar and other sensors were used as well.

US Army RP-2E used out of Cam Ranh Bay for signal intelligence also included

The RB-69's were used for covert Cold War intelligence missions, with a few being intercepted by Migs and shot down.

Other skins include an RAAF, Aeronavale, Argentine and Japanese Navy hack for their turboprop version.
Complete blanks are included if you wanted to slap your own roundels on there, the blanks should cover most schemes commonly used.

Folders are split with blanks and generics seperate to help organize. Pick and choose as you please, enjoy!

Would these work with the P2V in UP3 RC4?

It is the same aircraft right?

Ok,

just tried it and the skins will not show up in the game

I have checked and re loaded the game but the skins will not show up.

I put the skins in the P2V-5 folder as I am supposed to.

any ideas?

Maybe you need the high-res mod or something, the skins are 3mb rgb or whatever. I probably should have researched that more, but it was easy to keep them as is, perhaps I should make the 1mb size for skins too.

I've only used the stock game and BAT, and just started skinning. I'll look into what it takes to make things compatible for all.

Bonjour, pour le Neptune Français le numéro 335 apparait sur l'extrado de l'aile droite en blanc et sur l'intrado de l'aile gauche en noir (je dois avoir quelques photos ayant pratiqué cet avion pendant près de 12 ans en tant que navigateur).

Hello, for the French Neptune the number 335 appears on top of the right wing in white and under of the left wing in black (I have to have some photos having practised this plane during almost 12 years as navigator.

Yes, I was hasty with the french skin, and just took a guess. I also forgot to include the blank for that skin so others can add markings. That was also the closest font I had, it's not totally correct either.  I will update at some point, but maybe not for a day or two. Thanks for the observation!
