If you do find the modder please tell him he can include this skin pack in the update ;)

Thank you very much for the kind comments. I appreciate it. I was in the 82nd back in the day (84-87) so went ahead and used it as a theme. My truck hauls the deployed chutes back to bragg ;) Im a total newb painter so if I can do it so can you ;) Understanding layers is key. I hope the modder does do an update. I drive it everyday in whatever the latest version is and so far no crashing or major issues that I'm aware. Today its 1.6.1.6s. Just an FYI I have updated this skin pack to include my "dirty cat" caterpillar skin on Steam. I only update the Steam version though as it can get utterly chaotic trying to update all the other sites.

Will continue to search for original . I suspect it might have been an RTA(payware mod) but don' see it offered on their site even as freeware anymore . I did comment to the modder who did version 1.1 of the K521 . It's on several sites . Quick question , who or what inspired you to do the US Army 82nd Abn paint ? One of my favorites . You're a talented painter , keep them coming . Will play around with the 521 dirtycat.dds although have only tried changing textures a few times(in flightsims ) and not very good at it . It does work well in 1.6.1.6 . Just need to clear the glass up .

Thanks for the story. Yes you could easily dig out the 521dirtycat.dds and edit it in paint.net. Just rename the .scs to .zip, edit then rename back to .scs. Yes cpl issues for me as well but for the most part very driveable in 1.6.1.6. Ive managed to get the game.log errors down to two, an .sii that won' seem to link to some "unit" and a mipmapping error on the air cleaner that no amount of fiddling will resolve... Do you know how to get in touch with the authors?

Love this skin pack . Thanks for doing it . Special meaning to me , my uncle was a paratrooper in the 101st Airborne in WWII . Few minor adjustments could possibly be made . Glare in windshield during daylight hours almost makes the K521 undriveable . Don' have it on other modded trucks and have tried to make some in game graphical changes but no luck . Night time , no glare . I will check with the K521,s maker as well . Thanks again , great paints !
