Nice skin ...

That shouldn't be too difficult. You need a graphic program that works with layers (I take paint.net because it's easy to use, prof. designers use other tools )

Download the template -> https://www.condorsoaring.com/wp-conten ... emplate.7z and extract it

Open that template in the graphic program

Open then an existing skin, f.x. Condor2\Planes\JS3-18\skins\Orange.dds as layer above the template

Reduce opacity of the top layer (the new one), so you can see both the template and the skin

Modify the skin (try only something to see that it works)

Set opacity back, so that you don't see the template

Save the file as MyName.dds in the skins folder, where you opened Orange.dds

Now you can use that skin in Condor.

It will take a little bit of training to get a good result, but you will enjoy the result, because you made it yourself.

Try it, it's worth it (I remember you wrote one day that you don't believe you can do it, I'm sure, you can ). And if you have questions how to do, you will find an answer here in the forum.

If I would do it I think it will take round about 15-30 minutes, depends on the pickiness, but I don't have that plane, so I only can see the result in the preview in hangar, and that is too small. And it would prevent you from learning that stuff

Hi,
I have a question about the livery: How do I get the painting on the muzzle to meet exactly on both sides?
Here is a picture to explain in more detail what I mean:

[6266]

Because nobody answered until now, I will say, how I would do it. But I'm far away from a skilled graphic designer.

I would save the file as another one that way, that you see both template and your painting. Mirror that picture and copy the mirrored nose in a new layer in your first picture. Move it to the correct place. Use a tool to select the nose painting, go to the layer with your painting and fill in the color. Finally delete the temporary added layer.

I'm not sure if this is the best way, but it may work. After that is done I check the plane in the sim and fine correct the position if necessary.

Good luck. Maybe a real skilled person will correct may way, I'm always open to learn doing it better

[GW_moin4640]

Im not skilled too, thats because im asking in the forum
But thanks i will give it a try

[janjansen]

Never tried this either, but I would do something very similar to what 6266 said; copy one side (with the template), mirror it then align it using the template grid. BTW, did martini sponsor that design ?
