Here's an F4F accurately scaled to a B-29:

That looks SUPERB!!!!!![&o][&o][&o][&o]

That's really cool that you've decided to work on a "SCALED" plane tops set for everyone!!!!!!

Very much appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!![:D][:D][:D]

[aristoteles]

Brilliant work, eagerly awaiting for it!!

Erm... I am under the impression that Cathares said they'll NOT scale it...? [;)]
Ok, I am eagerly waiting for the plane top art mod... is it ready? Please, tell me we can test it...

Been a way a bit due to the usual RL stuff. Only have 11 more Soviet aircraft to do then I will release the whole shebang.

Here's a preview of the Fleet Air Arm crates:

I just wish there way some way they could make the relative A/C sizes more realistic. Just looks strange to see B-17's that are smaller than their escort fighters.

Limitation of the game design and personal choice: would rather see detail over accurate scale considering fighters would only be 2 dozen pixels across or less.

The tops are really very small, not many pixels to work with.
So my guess is that they try to use as much of the box that they can.

Am I right guys?

That's my thinking.

The more I see this, the more I like it.[;)]

How can I adjust the top bitmaps to look like this?[:D]

And I just got a big screen LCD in anticipation of this. [:D]

You can shrink your aircraft to this size, but you will always see the gun flashes appear in their default location and the combat animations will be strange as flashes appear far from the wings or cowling. Also the little F4F you see is pasted on top of the background screen. I don't believe that the alpha mask will behave as nicely in the game when we're talking about something less than 20 pixels across. There will be some erratic outlines and stray pixels with aircraft that small.

Kinda figured that, would require a major effort.

Thanks for the reply.

Last update before release, some Helens and Oscars:
