In future do not open multiple threads on the same topic.  It does not improve your chances to get a response and unnecessarilhy complicates subsequent searching.

http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=2188991

download the attachment which are grid overlays. And will help in putting the plane in a correct space.

Then you have to input the stats for the plane and add the plane to a scenario by using the editor.

Here is a sky, just drop the plane on it and export(save) as above.

Started using Krita, and trying to use your technique to give plane drawings a 3d look. Can you give a little more how to on getting the 3d look? Iam helping Gters do some Italian planes and would like to match them to your style in Cathartes_Planeside_top_replacement master.zip

Status: offline 		Also War in West has Italian aircrafts, But in both modifications there are many Italian airplanes missing and personally I would like them (prototypes too). Well done Makee, I really like your zero dark / light effect.
Currently I want to complete the list of Italian aircraft inside the editor and also pics in jplanetside but i am not able to do a correct background, patience...
Then I try to read the various guides etc. but I have many problems to translate and understand everything.

Thanks I hope to get better at it.


Cleaning up the pics, using copy and past. There needs to be nothing but planes and blue background, then the alpha can be made in a few clicks.

Different Methods...

Gimp control "Eraser"
I. Erase all the color around the plane, then copy and paste the plane to the Jtop.

II. Use "Free Select" to outline the plane, then copy and paste into Jtop.

Keep copies of your original pic and make temporary copies as you make changes.

I do not care much about the background in the main screen / airplane information screen (i mean in the game) but obviously if it were like the original game would be a nice job



If you want a quick alpha to see how the planes look in game here it is.

No, i don't think... the best and great italian's bomber was Piaggio P.108 with 4-engine... I've added it in our mod, both in the editor and also in the pics jplanetside and jptop
