Firstly I would like to say that, as one who has developed a simple template for this aircraft to produce my "painted" skins, I fully appreciate the work and research that has gone into this and I thank you for sharing it with the community in such an unselfish manner.. This is exactly the spirit that makes this a "community".
Weathering on aircraft is a fact of life.. all aircraft suffer from it, it does make for a more realistic scenario and produce fantastic screen shots if nothing else.
On a technical point, I use "Bright" to export my skins from Photoshop into IL2 as it adjusts the colour pallet to provide a better colour balance and sharper less "grainy" skins. However, "Bright" does not do Alpha layers.... The result is quite interesting and completely useless. I would advise that anyone who also uses "Bright" to export skins into the game removes the alpha layers from the template. The change/loss is not noticable and the damage model still works.
