Non-Historical Skins


Recommended Posts

Can we get some non-Nazi skins for the German warbirds? I can't bring myself to buy them for this very reason. There's no way I'm flying a plane with that crap stenciled all over it...

 

Fantasy skins. Captured skins. Air racing skins. Hell, I don't care if it's Hello Kitty and My Pretty Pony. Be a helluva lot better than the options available.

I'd hazard a guess you're in minority with your opinion, so I wouldn't expect either devs or many modders to follow that request.

 

HOWEVER - there's always at least one VVS/RAF/USAAF-captured livery included by default for each of German warbirds, moreover, the 109 has two generic, racing liveries (IIRC), plus a couple from countries, which were either neutral during the war (Switzerland), or fought on the Axis side, but didn't have any German markings painted on their planes (for example Hungary).

Selection of default non-German Fw-190 liveries is smaller, but there are a few to choose from.

 

Check the skins section of the forum too, you'll see custom skin makers made a few you might like as well.

Funny :huh:

 

There are lot of skin without german markings in users files.

If not happy, learn how to create skins.

 

For axis Bf 109 (not historical for the K) : Slovakian, Romanian, Italian, ... Just never check the finish one :music_whistling: (but if you do, read about them)

 

Good luck.

Thanks for the responses. I've checked the user files for skins, and except for a few Japanese skins (which I'm fine with, by the way) for the Anton and Kurfurst, there aren't many non-Nazi skins. Or even just many skins at all. Three pages maybe for each?

 

If there are default non-Nazi liveries, can they be used on servers regardless of nationality? (I'm not talking about historical WWII combat servers, but aerobatic and practice servers. On the WWII servers, I just won't fly for that side. Don't care how lopsided the teams are. Maybe I'm a bit old fashioned, but I'm not a big fan of Nazis.)

 

While I understand my position may not be the popular one around here, I'm just saying I'm perfectly willing to pay for and even fly these planes. Provided they aren't decorated like a Nazi Christmas tree.

 

And for the record, I'm familiar with the Finnish skin. For German planes as well as for that abomination someone fashioned for the I-16.

 

Also, it's easier for me to just not buy the things than learn how to make my own liveries.

Exactly, Everyone knows for what those planes were used anyway :) Same as p-51 spitfire or any other fighter. Used to shoot down planes from other side.

First, the only Nazi mark on the bird is the Swastika, which has been censored from most of the default skins. The cross insignia on the wings and fuselage are not associated with Nazism, and have been used from WWI up through the present day with the Bundeswehr.

 

Second, there are plenty of fictional skins available for download, including RAF schemes, A6M2 Zero schemes, and even a Redbull racing skin.

These two default racing skins for 109 don't have any countries set in their description.lua files, so they should be selectable in any mission. I don't know however, how livery selection works on multiplayer servers, 'cause I just don't play online.

 

There's an Avia S-199-inspired default Israeli skin available for 109, by the way :D

 

Anton got its official template released only recently, so the number of custom skins made by community is still limited, but there are already quite a few non-German ones.

 

Dora is in the worst situation - despite being released 6 years ago, it still doesn't have up-to-date official template and most of the old custom skins available for it (and there were crapton of them made back in the day) are not compatible with with 2.5.x+. It does have single USAAF, RAF and VVS default livery, though.

I would love to see the D9 with a template like the A8 one.

Would make more skin for it ^^

 

I found a template to work on it. But it is not that good.

Admiring a machine as an aviation enthusiast is a helluva lot different than flying it in it's historical context.

 

But again, you guys know that.

Thank you, @art-j

 

I will check it out during the Kurfurst's free trial and see how it all works in aerobatics/free flight servers in MP.

 

(And oooh, and Israeli skin? Haha. Sweet.)

Yeah, as others pointed out there's nothing ''nazi'' about these skins, for starters. It's the same emblem they've used for the last hundred years and still use today. Do you have a similar dislike for the Japanese Rising Sun? They had camps and committed war crimes, too. Or what about the 1940s USAF roundel? Does that offend you? Last I checked carpet bombing cities (ie intentional targeting of civilians) in Germany, Japan, and Vietnam would be considered war crimes in most places except the US. In fact, I distinctly remember the ''Nazis'' being prosecuted for doing exactly that in Spain and Britain.

 

''Not a fan of Nazis''

Nor of history or common sense, apparently. Double standards much?

I understand your loathing for the Nazis yet you are ok with the Japanese ?

Cannot help my self: I remember stories by my friends, flying one well-known older classic WW2 simulator on some foreign servers. They saw people flying german planes with japanese markings. Turned out - they were Russians and refused to use svastika.

Imagine server where Russians fly german planes, Polish guys fly russian ones and Chinese guys find themselves with no other option than kick someone using Zero.

And we had scenarios where Italians were fighting Germans as it happened in later part of the war in Italy - thus you had Messerschmidts on both sides.

"non nazi" skins?

 

The default liveries are non-nazi skins already. The only markings these default liveries have are the same markings the german airforce uses till to this day on their F-16, Eurofighter , etc. .

 

Personally I downloaded the original nazi liveres for the german aircrafts and I wouldn't mind to use original USSR liveries either or Japanes or whatever.

 

It doesn't mean that anyone who use these does support these ideologies its just mean that just how I choose to play a simulator for its realism for same reason I would like to use historically accurate liveries.

 

I guess they censored these default liveries exactly not to get people offended at the expense of historical accuracy while it seems it was not enough because there are opinions like this based on false interpretation of these different markings.
