ebabil Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Canopy and radome colors are not for everyone's liking. And i guess there are other color variations of these parts for viper. So, it would be good if we had normal colorless glass looking canopy and non greenish radome options in special tab FC3 | UH-1 | Mi-8 | A-10C II | F/A-18 | Ka-50 III | F-14 | F-16 | AH-64 | Mi-24 | F-5 | F-15E| F-4| Tornado Persian Gulf | Nevada | Syria | NS-430 | Supercarrier // Wishlist: CH-53 | UH-60 Youtube MS FFB2 - TM Warthog - CH Pro Pedals - Trackir 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razo+r Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 This will probably change once the model is finished and some skins are being delivered. Then you probably can simply make custom skins for your wishes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_mu110_ Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 We should also be able to correct these with custom liveries. Check out my skins and mods on the User Files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebabil Posted October 7, 2019 Author Share Posted October 7, 2019 i am not a painter but as far as i know, canopy is not part of the paint kit right? you need to mod the plane and that may result IC fail FC3 | UH-1 | Mi-8 | A-10C II | F/A-18 | Ka-50 III | F-14 | F-16 | AH-64 | Mi-24 | F-5 | F-15E| F-4| Tornado Persian Gulf | Nevada | Syria | NS-430 | Supercarrier // Wishlist: CH-53 | UH-60 Youtube MS FFB2 - TM Warthog - CH Pro Pedals - Trackir 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razo+r Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 The only mod would be changing the color of the glass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorgeNate Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Just a little FYI. The radomes are not painted. It is the actual color of the abrasion coating. In the early days the radomes were black but was quickly changed for reasons unknown to me. The different shades of grey/green you see is just the aging of the coating due to environmental conditions. The newer radomes are of lighter shade of grey which I prefer a bit more. The radomes you may see painted on "Display" aircraft are only for display reasons and the radar cannot be used. Usually at the end of the display season, if the aircraft is needed for standard operation, they radome will be swapped out for a unaltered one.

I always love this pic when talking about radome wear variation: Almost any and every colour variation of radome we're likely to see on a skin, first or third party, will probably be "correct". That being said, more options by default are never a bad thing.

=OPS=Slider Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Wow, 2nd and 4th Viper, their canopies are so dark. They seem to be too dark actually, at least to me. Personally I wouldn't be able to fly it with a canopy that dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I wouldn't be able to fly it with a canopy that dark. I believe those are gold-coated canopies which helps reduce the planes RCS. Check out my skins and mods on the User Files.

I believe the black radomes were swapped out because they were deemed to be to highly visible in short ranged air-to-air combat.
