Metal or green?

Post by :FI:Falcon » Tue Oct 31, 2006 6:52 pm

Fair flyin' folk,

I have a few minutes before the first phase of the great skinner crusade is finished and NWN2 arrives so I had a rare thunk.

Which Wildcat design would you like to fly;

the FI metal style,

Image

or the slightly more realistic IreGreen design?

Image

I have already done the green jobby, but I'm getting comments that some reeeeally like the metal one.


Remember, we can change/update it later and folk who really hate a particular design can opt for an alternative skin later on, (or use a stock default skin).

Thanks for your opinions,


Falcan't decide

Why not both? Since you've already got the IreGreen done... Maybe do the Metal version for the next release, or a mid-term release, or a release-because-you-want-to release....

:-k

Sna"Just a thunk"phoo
You've got red on you.

Yeah,

but I'm thinkin' about size and the first version before rollout.

Both skins were just thrown together (for the project) and will prolly be filled in and detailed out later,

but to keep the files to a minimum, I was just thinkin' of one or the other.


Thanx Snoo,

I like the Iregreen better and I'm not even a great fan of the green color. :shock:

Yeah, I know.

Well in my defense, the Wildcat must be one of the ugliest birds in the air.

After trying to vary the green just a wee bit to add variety to the skin mix I think the green that happened to this particular plane is at best ...

um, not completely complimentary?

Anywho, I'm young ~cough~ I can try another design later

and just think,

the color could have been even less ... not complimentary.

Owww sorry Falcon, you misunderstood. I meant that in general I don't like green as a color, except if it's in nature around me. I think the green on the plane looks fine, hence my surprise I liked it because I'm usually not too fond of green.

No, no ... you hate it, I can tell.

I .. I understand.

I'll just go sit in the corner and cry.

You never did like my mother either.

...

Do you think I look fat in this plane?

Sorry Falcon, nobody looks good in that plane. I'm sorry, but it's the truth.

Ouch.

Okay, where's my shelter. I need some hiding. Can I toss a few smoke grenades? Please?

Nice job Falc!
