View Full Version : New set of SubSim Aviator skins, ideas, suggestion.
Like the title says, after a short talk with Kratos & Hunter on TS last night, I've started making a new set of SubSim Aviator skins for everyone to use.
And when I say started, I mean, done nothing. :p
So, what kind of paintjobs you want to see? Colors? Any logos?
And to give this a kickstart, I made this 109 skin quickly (in the bottom it says with letters the size of a cow "SUBSIM", but it's reversed.. oops! :oops:):

No worries, take your time. :up:
As for the colors, that blue/white coloring is from the SubSim's frontpage banner. I wont be giving up the blue, white I can change or add a third color.
Also, I think it would be nice to have abit more complex skin. Not just one colored fuselage and nose/tail/spinner with another color. Just cant think of anything. :damn:

Not spending much time in the air at the moment, so if you don't go with my suggestion, that's fine.;)
Keep the blue, it's good.
The white should be changed. Maybe darkish grey (?).
Which ever secondary colour you choose, it needs to extend to the wings somehow, the entire underside of the aircraft and part way up the fuselage (aka the V1 skin ;)) stretching to the tail, where it will merge into the rudder.
Maybe? :hmm:
Good idea, I'll give it a go asap. :up:
edit: How the fock I'm gonna merge it to the rudder?!

I like the white more then with the previous yellow colour on the nose.
as the logo, the logo we had back then
-
Subsim
(subdrawing)
Aviators
was fine for me.
this time we take a different step, we choose 1 Aircraft.
Your Favorite one.
and like I said on Teamspeak I get back in to making Co-op missions with a Subsim Aviators storyline, (IE : Defend the Subsim aircraft Carier from torpedo attacks, or Defend Onkels Neal Gato sub from enemy attackers:p and Attack the X1 Train with the Seawolves SH3 expansion packs Cargo)
thats what I can come up with now (at work)
Not spending much time in the air at the moment, so if you don't go with my suggestion, that's fine.;)
stop jerking around with that PS3, dust the joystick and get your butt back in the skies!

Not gonna happen, he's gonna have GTA IV soon (or do you already have it?) and IGN gave it 10/10, the first game the get full 10 points in almost 10 years. ;)
I'll have a new WIP up of what Dan proposed (if I understood him right, doubt it tho.) in a few minutes.
The small blue stripes where the wing meets the fuselage are fixable, just forgot. I like the wings, not sure about the shade of grey, could maybe be a bit lighter?

:hmm: as I'm going to pick the Tempest I wonder how it would look with the invasion stripes. (perhaps a idea to do them all with invasion stripes?)
HunterICX
Dont know. We'll see that once we have the basic layout ready. ;)
So, how about default camoschemes of the plane one chooses, but with 2 colors we decide? Blue and ?.
For example, here's 109 and Hurricane with default paintjob recolored.

what about Nuclear submarine hull black? (if you catch what I mean with that) and mix that with the dark blue colour.
HunterICX
Will try it with 2 different scheme on the sub thingy. Black & blue and the usual sub scheme of Black top, dark red bottom.
*sigh* I think I go look for some cool paintjob from Flying-Legends and rip it off. ;)

That might look very interesting :yep:

Havent tested yet, I got another idea. I'm going in-game to look how it would look, so if I'm happy I'll post a WIP. :up:
I think I stall this one to the "nice idea, but no" stage. :-?
EDIT: Oh and that should be a shark. :D ... well atleast a mouth.
http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/ee274/Finnish_Ferret/SubsimShark.jpg
New coloring, dark grey and "fins" on the wings. Goddangit! TORPLEEEX! DRAW ME A SHARKS MOUTH! :damn:

That's the plan... and rip off the mouth from a P40 or something. :p Then I need remake the eye (yes that black spot is supposed to be an eye).

Well anyhow, when you colour my tempest, leave the sharksmouth, it doesnt go so well with a tempest nose ;) (I hate how it looks on a tempest when I saw some skins having it on Flying legends)
the colour turns out very well thought :up:

@Hunt
Trust me, I wont object that! I have never skinned a Tempest, so it might take me a while to get the mouth go from the side to the bottom like it does on the 109 atm.
Anyways, now it has a new mouth from P40, same goes for the eye and 'fins' added to the vertical stabilizers. What you ppl think? Might need to move the mouth abit lower, so it wont be overlapping the dark grey color.

:up: getting there m8:up:
I AM DAS BOOT! :damn:
I just realised while making some final tweaks to the skin that I have one of my bare metal layers enabled in a color burn mode. FOOOOOOOOCK! Now I have to recolor the skin as everything dark grey is still light grey if I take the layer out. Now, this wouldnt be a problem, but I only have this bare metal layer for 109, so every other plane would look quite a different (no shading changes, just the plain color would be there). I need a hug... :-?
Oh btw, do I leave the rudder as it is, or make it grey too? Like a tail fin or something?
EDIT: Feck it, I just do the metal layer for the other planes too. :)

looks good xabba will be back in the air at the weekend.
So... will we go with this scheme or do I go back to the drawing board? Oh yeh, and the gills wont be included.
If this gets the green light, tell me what plane you want to fly and I start THE ******* FRUSTRATING JOB to skin them.
EDIT: Oopsie... I think I should prolly post shots from the finished first. :D
:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: might help :yep:
Not much changed from the last pic, made the rudder the same color as the wing 'fins' (can be changed back to white if you want to), fixed some thingys on the bottom part of the mouth, made the engine exhaust covers black to blend into the mouth, lowered the mouth abit and lastly changed the shape of the eyes abit.

The way that spitfire was behaving last night I might have to resort to the 109 ;) then again it might have been the beer that makes my planes fly funny :lol:
