Spitfire skins by jocko417

That looks very good Jocko, well done !

About to update my Spitfire skins for DCS, after some experimenting with the new roughmet files. I'm a fan! :) Overall better look with regards to paint finish, bare metal effects, weathering, staining, scuffs and scratches. Can't wait for other aircraft to become PBR ready!

These should be available for 2.5x soon, screenies from the model viewer:

KH-B, George Beurling, 403 RCAF

VZ-W, "Pistol Packin' Momma", Ed "Lucky" Likeness, 412 RCAF

"S", Ken Lawson, 414 RCAF

"PRU Pink" Generic skin with Letter codes

Generic blank skin in Day Fighter Scheme, with code letters and serials for mission builders

Great work, can't wait to try them out

Updated for DCS 2.5

Spitfire IXc MJ627, coded 9G-Q of No. 441 "Silver Fox" Squadron, RCAF, based at Advanced Landing Ground B70, Belgium, September, 1944. Flown by Sid Bregman from Toronto, Ontario.

On September 27, while patrolling the Arnhem area just after Operation Market Garden, 441 Squadron intercepted some 15 Fw-190s and Bf-109s. P/O Sid Bregman was credited with shooting down a Bf109 east of Arnhem while flying MJ627.

Thanks jocko,

like this skin, well done

Thanks! Always fun to get the history behind the aircraft. MJ627 is alive and well and flying from Biggin Hill as a two seat Spit these days.

More RCAF Spits to come.

did you plan to give some love to the CW version, too ;)

Oh yes, just may have to take a bit of artistic license, as RCAF clipped wing Spits were usually Mk.XVIEs, with or without the bubble canopy. ;)

I'm concentrating on the Canadian schemes before branching out into other nationalities, as this is obviously a popular aircraft with skinners from all countries :)

414 RCAF - Fighter Recce

Spitfire FRIX MJ351, "Violet-Dorothy", coded S, of No. 414 "Sarnia Imperials" Squadron, RCAF, based at Advanced Landing Ground B90, Petite-Brogel, Belgium, March, 1945. Flown by F/L Ken Lawson of King City, Ontario.

Hey, are you aware of the issue with the Beurling skin, that you missed the " around CAN so it doesn't show up to use under Canada in the ME.

:wallbash:

All RCAF Spitfire skins checked/corrected to ensure Canada can be selected as country in Mission Editor. Sorry for the inconvenience, skins can be downloaded at links in this thread.

Bort numbers on CW Spits???

Okaaaayyy... Someone already posted a question about the BORT numbers on the Spit IX CW, does anybody know if the BORT lines in the description.lua have a different syntax, nothing I've done seems to stop this from happening:

Supposed to say AU-H, SM309 ;)

421 RCAF MK.XVIe, you'll have to imagine the broad chord rudder, and the .50s/20mm armament :)

Have you cross checked with the description lua file of one of EDs CW skins? I guess the name of the DIF layer is wrong. Remember: case-sensitive

I‘ll have a look when you post your description.lua file

https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=218274

Bort numbers are working but appear to use the default CW skin textures for the bort areas, regardless of the true/false entry in the description, and regardless if using an empty texture file as a decal.

Took me 5 minutes to find the error (even in ED's description.lua files):

All NUMBERs are missing the suffix "_k"

Here is my working description.lua for the Egypt Air Force

Thanks! I’ll check it out when I get home tonight, have been away all weekend. I’d used uboats’ EDM extractor to look at the descr lua syntax for the CW Spit and I think it was identical to the full span Spit for the BORT number lines.

Much Better....

With the painted over gun patches it's almost looking like a Mk.XVIe... almost.
