General Question XR skin question

[Aeadar]

I just DLed the XR fleet a couple of weeks back and I love them!
My question is, is there any way to apply a DGIV skin to the DG-XR1? Both craft appear identical from the outside, though now that I frame the question I wonder if the dimensions are the same?

From what I've observed, if a craft has a custom skin it will have the line "SKIN SkinNameHere" in the associated scenario file under the vessel in question. So, just copy and paste that from a scenario where the stock DG has a custom skin into a scenario for the XR-1, fire it up, and have a look! You should then be able to see for yourself if the skin is compatible or not! And if not, just remove the line from the scenario file and it will revert to how it was.

No.

The DGIV is not the same as the XR-1. Look at the windows.

Plus, I believe the textures are laid out differently.

Indeed, it will not work.
The mesh is different. The handle DG is only a classification.

You could however, with a little leg work and some cursing on the way, take a DGIV skin apart and adjust it so it matches the layout of an XR1 skin. Both skin packs are available.
Just make sure you have permission before you release such a skin.

Ah, I didn't know that, but I figured it'd be worth a shot.
