Looks like th right one

I just would prefer the high res versions of skins I use. There is a real difference in the game. Has to be as for example the NSS_*_.tga is 4 times bigger in high res and when watched in some graphics program you can see much clearer details either.

my pleasure guys
that is the high res one i think....:hmm:

Don't know when exactly a skin is to be called high res but there is a difference, that's for sure.
Taken the main texture files of this 997 skin, they are 3mb in size and contain 1024x1024 in resolution.
I compared it to fubar's high res type VIIC U-253 skin, there are those texture files 2048x2048 and 12mb each.

So it's no wonder that it looks better in the game because smaller textures have to be streched to a larger extend to fit the 3D models and their details begin to look slightly blurry.

That's also the difference where I was unsatisfied with some, otherwise beautiful, skins and now stick to the real high res ones because you can see every single bolt when closing in on your sub .

me personally i would like the 2048x2048 high res skin on my sub, however i'm happy with 1024x1024 skins on ships.....long loads with gwx, and i don't tend to get too close to enemy ships
