OHM DG4 ESA 2 skin

[OrbitHangar]

Thanks goes out to Spike Spiegel, who provided the base which this skin is based upon, to dansteph, who made one of the greatest ship for Orbiter, and to Martin Schweiger, for stealing our free time with his wonderful Orbiter Space Flight Simulator. Description: After my HuAF skin, I decided to redo the whole thing and also chose a more realistic "sponsor" for the skin. So I chose the ESA, since I'm a fan of willy88's work, but also wanted to have a high-res version for this agency. Install: Just unpack it into the Orbiter directory. Uninstall: Delete the /Orbiter/Textures2/DGIV/SKIN/ESA 2 folder. List of changes over the base skin: Most green textures are now grey (not all, the remaining ones would alter every other skins as well). The wires under the radiator are colored. Side hatches now show the "Caution Explosive Bolts" text along with red bordered bolts (you know where that's from). ESA logo and EU emblem on the wings. Like my HuAF skin, there are also a great number of new lines along the body, but now instead of just adding new lines, I made them to have some depth. ESA member, contributor and future candidate flags on the sides (30 altogether).

the depth lines look amazing, so do the wings, but i liked the the black belly from you HuAF skin more.

Pros: Great texturing
Review:
This skin is superb - high resolution, great touches all around! Would it be possible to get 'Danger' signs on the inside of the retro doors? Excellent work!!!

Thanks, means a lot to me.

I was thinking of doing the black-belly for this skin too, but I still think that it looks odd that the center section is shielded, but the wings aren't.

I noticed a bit of bad texturing on the RCS thrusters so I fixed that and while I was at it, I cut a hole in the thick part of the stripe to make it look less bad.

fantastic job on the 1.1 version!!

you probably know about these addons, but in any case i wanted to tell you that this antenna and turbopack door texture replacements and this cargobay texture replacement work fantastic with you skins!

Thanks. I think I'll stick to the black-belly after all. I just don't have the nerve to align a whole other set of lines to the stray line on the wings (most visible on the bottom).

I see you copied the black-belly over to this skin from the previous one.

Yeah, I've been using that cargobay skin for a long time now, I have to check the antenna though.
