Air1.sym I've designed for myself
Posted: Mon Oct 29, 2001 4:38 pm
Hello all WiR fans!
I reworked Dionne's Air1.sym (thanks to WiR icon converter) and made another, more realistic I guess.
Here's gif example (if my trick with image posting is OK):

If you're interested I temporarily posted it on www.vvskbf.newmail.ru
Comments:
1. I liked idea to try to present planes in one scale. But the dimensions of the icon don't let you precisely compare I-16 with B-17 for example. So I decided to use all available space to design planes' icons as much realistic as possible.
I think gamer will see the difference between fighters and bombers even without any universal scaling.
2. In some icons I used dark khaki No.8 and now I'm not sure is it OK. Sometimes I like the camo changing to winter one simultaneously with weather changing, sometimes - not. What do you think?
3. Some bombers got too long tails after reworking due to WiR pixel resizing and I didn't make them shorter due to... my lazyness. <img src="wink.gif" border="0">
May be I'll fix it later.
And another thing: I recommend to change icons of P-47 and P-47D by WirEditor in your obwir file.
Best wishes,
