Custom skin...

Post by Louisa von Dart » Fri May 01, 2020 1:44 pm

Hi folks, In my next vid you will see the skin made by Cule for my Yak 1 series 69...... which I must say is simply spiffing !

I just wanted to publicly thank him for his time doing such a great job.

I wish I could post a pic but I'm too stupid to figure out how.

:B: Louisa.

Louisa,

- Startup BoX
- Take a solo flight (quick mission)
- Select loadout and change skin in game to custom
- Start flying
- Hit F2 to show external
- Use mouse to rotate viewpoint
- Hit prtscrn on keyboard to take shot
- Hit P on keyboard to pause screen in case of error
- Start paint app from MS search
- Select paste
- Save img as png or jpeg
- Move image to dropbox or imgur or whatever and ensure you have a shareable link
- Post here using full editor option and use img link
- Post img link thus;

Depending on website there may be variation to that last bit but we can help overcome.
Cheers,

Paddy

I've got a few screenshots already but I have no idea what a dropbox or imgur is.... if I posted it on facebook would that work ?

Ugh not FB, its not friendly to non FB users who just want to see your image.

Imgur is just and image and video posting website, thats probably the best bet.

Dropbox is cloud file storage. They give you about 1GB (maybe 5GB these days?) free space and you can subscribe to get more space/features.
