You using the d-pad or analog stick Kit?  For me, I use the analog stick, and use the L and R shoulder buttons to assist in turns (I assume they still use L & R in Pulse to help in turns)

I'm using the D-Pad, and it sucks that you can't set dual sideshift, only dual airbrake.

My first skin.

After about 5 hours in photoshop this is what I got.  Had to do some massive pixel cleanup with the skin that was provided, as well as learn that you can only have 16 colors (SUCK!) so I decided to make the images B&W...otherwise it would look really crappy in color.  Not done with this skin yet....

Decided not to give up tonight (what's another 3 hours? :|) Made an entirely new skin, this time from scratch.  Not done yet (rear of cockpit and engine area not touched yet), but a lot happier with this one so far....

Dang! That's pretty damn cool!  :clap:

The wipeout cruiser picture on the actual website totally looks like the Viper from Battlestar Galactica.

Using PC Engine icons works great for the skins since they are already only a few colors....using anything else (images, sprites) don't work out so well.

The design of this skin has been quite a challenge for me as I'm trying to create a design in a very small space - for example, the PCE you see on the ship is only about 25 or so pixels wide.  When gfx get down to this size, things get all bent out of shape (and you can forget anti-aliasing!).  When I'm totally done with this skin, I will submit it for publishing so that anyone can use it if they would like.

Ok here is the 99% finished "HE System" skin.  Whatever else I add to this will just be minor details.  About 6 hours of work in Photoshop to get this done - managed to get good looking Bonk sprites on there.
