Heya,
You might try the Hangars template section.

But you can easily make your own. Say you have downloaded the Dr1A. Now you will need the parfile tools to "unbig" the par files. I think the DR1's come in data10.par and data11.par. (I might be wrong on this) Anyhow, unbig one of the pars. after that you will have some folders for the DR1. Open the folder and look for textures. Open that and you will see all the textures for the Dr1. Open the one named FokkerDr1A.tiff in your art program. Viola, theres your template. Its easiest to use layers while working on skins.

For some of the other skins, just download them and use them a template.

Hope that helps,

Burkey,

To edit the skins for the SE5a look here:

Fighter Squadron/media/aircraft/SE5a/textures/

The files you need to edit are:
wings.tif
fuses.tif
DmgWings.tif
Dmgfuses.tif

The Albatros Dva is not finished yet, but you can make new skins by editing:

Fighter Squadron/media/aircraft/AlbatrosDva/textures/

wings.tif
fuses.tif

The damaged verion parts are not done yet, but the mapping of the wings and fuselege will not change.

Let me know if you have any other questions. Anything I can do to make better skins for these planes I will surely consider.
