I've seen a lot of people create parts of aircraft, (sides, no tops, or alpha's) even Lemuer scenario art work is not complete(no tops - aircraft won't show up in combat). Let's seen if we can put together a list of completed art aircraft, and get every one to donate their art files to built a complete set of aircraft art. If you want I'll sent you the current set of files I'm working on.

Don, Yep still around just haven't posted much. Great to hear about this concerted/consolidated effort by ya'll as I was working on one myself but it would be mostly fixing all the OOB problems with the leaders coming in later than the unit they command as well as some of the weapons/aircraft that would have come in late war like Midway/F7F/F8F/B32. I'm still doing some research into the Chinese & Indian air units. There are a couple of good sites I found some good info on them but can't get much more than that. To me the Chinese are greatly under represented in air units in Matrix's versions but this can be overcome by limiting the Chinese air units to a lower max a/c due to the training/unpreparedness/damage done by IJA before the game starts. Have some planesides for the Indian/Chinese but still looking for more. I saw that someone asked the question where is it possible to add more planesides to the bottom of the current file but never saw an answer as to if it was possible, would like to know if this works or not. May have some ideas/wishlist things, if Matrix doesn't put them in in update.

You set that matchup on purpose didn't you, Tankerace........ [:D]

You can add in several more, based on using the stock artwork, and not pre modded. With War Plan Orange I have added several new artwork. I will also ask that a note be made in the readme, that the art for this user scenario will have to be backed up, as it will NOT be compatible with War Plan Orange, and vice-versa.

I tested the ability to add additional artwork and found that we can apparently add exactly ONE more. I added an extra line to the Aplane Side file and set several aircraft to bitmaps above 244. I found that 245 would reference the first aircraft on the newly added "line" but that 246 and up also displayed bitmap 245 (at least it didn't crash).

I tested using the "D" function to display aircraft sides. I did not adjust the "top" file and test with combat.
