DCS Madness

Was to reply earlier but got caught up with FLUFFTOP and the fact based true to life movie 'Cowboys and Aliens' .. tons of reference and photo material for these aircraft, simply was it possible to paint your fave aircraft up ?

Thanks Ian .I really have no clue about making a skin, so hoping beyond all hope someone will take a look.No replies to my post over at Ed as yet though

Maybe if I could put some photos in the post , so far my efforts to do that have not worked.

[Ian Warren]

I am surprised with today's combat sim's there option to paint the aircraft , own personal aircraft were even after a mission to paint your 'Kills' ground or air, that would really add to the fun.

Yes this one Adam NZ is doing is really neat.

maybe Adam NZ might be the guy to contact.

Wrong time of year I expect he is on a beach somewhere

[Ian Warren]

Totally different platform, that is the A2A paint, they are designed with paint kit idea and same with most standard flight simulation platforms, I honestly have not heard of a DCS paint , even with me I don't use paint kits , I do have the DSC world installed with the limited defaults, I'll have to have a look to see if it is possible to paint the aircraft.

[Dinga]

That would be great if you can take a look Ian .
Yes I realise that Adamski skin is A2A .Its a MkII maybe.
No one over at Ed is interested so I may as well delete that post as I just do not no how to put photos into it.
I could scan a black and white pic out of an old aero log.That mite be a start eh.I am sure those guys wouldn't mind

I think put the idea in there heads, they may go

[Dinga]

Well finally found a pic I could post .Its one from 2013 Omaka by Collin Hunter

[Ian Warren]

Gavin Conroy would be your best source for photo's for this aircraft.

[Dinga]

Ah yes Mr Conroy is legendary almost .
Mr hunter is also a great photographer IMO.
Have you managed to work out the intricasies of skinning in DCS yet Ian?

I wonder that is the reason why Marty call's me the skinman ...Nahhh , I simply have not even had a chance to even look at a FS today other than a quick check for another this morning.

[Dinga]

No hurry, you've got all year

[Ian Warren]

BUGGER ME ! , I'm counting the hours easy ... BUGGER!

[Dinga]

I have just noticed that there is a generic day fighter skin available here https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=179454.This could be the answer to my request.AL Deere's MkIX is just like this.All it needs is the markings. Not sure how you go about this.Jocko 417 talks about entering different codes and such but its all greek to me.

[Ian Warren]

Obviously done so peoples can paint it up, be the place to start looking, I sure many would be thinking along those same lines.

[Dinga]

Yes its a start alright ,unfortunately entering Sqn. codes is not goer in DCS mission editor at the mo. Hopefully that may change.

[Ian Warren]

If painting thru a mission editor , I would doubt that will work, you access to the aircraft template and even then have a cfg tool .
