That is a great skin

 

Honestly though, I have perused the screenshot threads, and this is another example of the same thing I keep asking myself. How on earth are you able to deliver such incredibly, stunning, real, life like screenshots?

 

Teach me master......

 

Just a great skin and an amazing shot of this amazing bird. Thanks for sharing!!!

Set in game time to sunrise/sunset.

 

Turn on "depth of field" in the options menu

 

Use the mousewheel to zoom out the F2 view, then use rctrl + num / or num * for a "camera zoom" effect and voila...looks like a photo.

 

Just don't try flying with depth of field on unless you like eyestrain :lol:

Hi Major Hero

Sorry I havnt replied sooner but have been on lates at work.

Thanks for the great feedback about B-17 Skin

Little Miss Mischief.:)

When I make a skin I always try to make

the best screenies I can show them in the best way possible.

With this particular skin I used a feature that DCS Skinners use called

ModelViewer which is located in the root folder Eagle Dynamics\DCS World 2 OpenAlpha\bin\ModelViewer

Click ModelViewer and when it opens

click on File Eagle Dynamics\DCS World 2 OpenAlpha\Bazar\World\Shapes then select from the menu the

Aircraft,object etc then click it to open then the Model will appear on screen.

Now click View > Dialogs > Liviries Dialogs in Menu box under Database Type scroll down to the Type for you displayed model then click

and in the Livery Name box a list of all the skins for that model will appear just select the one you

want and it will be placed on to the model.

Now click View > MSAA > 8X this will sharpen the image.

Now start experimenting with the sliders to get the desired effect.

 

I then take a screenshot and Paste to Gimp/Photoshop then crop the image sharpen a little bit more save as a JPG then thats it Done.

To the right of the screen are 3 Sliders.

 

Env = Preset lighting modes(which I use Most)

 

Rain= Light to heavy Rain

 

Sun= 24Hr Sunlight Cycle

 

Mouse Controls

 

Hold down L Button and move mouse around Model

 

Hold down R Button to Zoom by pushing Mouse Back/Forward

 

Hold down Alt + shft + L Button and use mouse to move the model

 

Hold down Alt + shft + R Button and use mouse to move the camera position

 

This may seem complicated but its simple just follow verbatim and you should be fine

Any probs come back to Me.

Good luck Buddy:thumbup:

Keith

Great skin, and lots of it ;) I find it fitting that Little Miss Mischief is mostly naked with just a little "clothing" (paint) :D

 

One small critique, the rivets on the fuselage seem to be just a little bit too prominent.
