What is skinning? Is that swimmin' in a lake or pond with no clothes on?

[Travis]

Skinning is painting an aircraft texture.

Where did you get that scenery?  Tell me that isn't stock Johannesburg.  And the trucks . . . ?

[PatriotMan]

Thanks for the replies!

The first two shots are in stock Johannesburg. The other two were actually made in the Orbx Australian Outback, just outside of YAYE. I used Whisplacer to place the shanty town, vehicles, and people. It was quite fun!

Thanks again!

3rd shot is amazing. Especially for a beginner.

Thanks for the replies!

I don't have a link for the skin, I made it in Abacus Repaint 2, and honestly I wouldn't have the slightest idea how to pack it up for downloading. Sorry!
