Silent Film Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 My first skin ever made, a fictional RYAF Mustang. Happy New Year! P-51D Royal Yugoslav Air Force - Chetnik It is the summer of 1944. The Chetniks in Serbia are saving American pilots downed by the Germans. A Mustang pilot has crash-landed on the Chetnik territory. He was rescued during the famous Halyard Mission. His Mustang has remained in the Chetnik service. Repaired, and repainted into the Royal Yugoslav Air Force livery, it is flown by a mysterious pilot with the call sign Silent Film, against the German occupiers of Yugoslavia, but also against the Yugoslav partisans and the invading Red Army. On the left side of the nose, some talented peasant has drew a portrait of General Dragoljub Draža Mihailović, using chalk and charcoal. On the right side of the nose, a soldier has painted black Chetnik flag with white skull and bones, and inscription: "With faith in God - freedom or death!" The aircraft is based at the mountain airfield in the village of Pranjani. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3314324/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I can't understand why people use ".rar", it drives me nuts. But you can download WinRAR trial version for free. I usually install it when I need to open some ".rar" file, and then I uninstall it immediately after, so that my trial period doesn't run out, and that I can download it again later if needed.

HoYa Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Thanks for the advise, but I’m just not that computer savvy. I’ll just keep hoping someone does this skin. I think it’s the best one out there.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art-J Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Packed with rar or not, the skin was made in 2013, so it wouldn't be compatible with DCS 2.x anyway. i7 9700K @ stock speed, single GTX1070, 32 gigs of RAM, TH Warthog, MFG Crosswind, Win10.

reece146 Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Use 7-zip - it is free, open source, and can handle most all commonly available compression formats: https://www.7-zip.org/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm talking about switch from spec maps to roughmets, which affected all aluminium-finish skins more than flat ones. If you try to use skin from DCS 1.5.xx era in 2.5.xx, reflective surfaces will either have a wrong tint, or turn flat grey. This is how that skin looks in latest version of the game: 1 i7 9700K @ stock speed, single GTX1070, 32 gigs of RAM, TH Warthog, MFG Crosswind, Win10.

Oh, then they should really update texture template, but to keep the same layout, so that we could just paste the same layers into new files.

Art-J Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 ^ Be happy that there's an official template at all . Fw-190D9 guys have been waiting 7 years for theirs and it's nowhere to be seen. Seriously though, you're right, they should. Fortunately, there are improved Mustang templates made by the community (Whiplash released excellent one, for example), so If anyone wants to make a silver Mustang, he can use these. 1 i7 9700K @ stock speed, single GTX1070, 32 gigs of RAM, TH Warthog, MFG Crosswind, Win10.

Silent Film Posted April 14, 2021 Author Share Posted April 14, 2021 Sorry for bothering you once again, this livery is my little project and my baby. I have done some changes once again, and this is a third version. Second version brought a leather WWII helmet for the pilot and few minor changes. Third version removed camo scheme which I thought was too colorful and unrealistic, and brought a basic olive green color, which looked more realistic and even more elegant to me, although it's a fictional skin, and also I have made the black color on the nose a bit darker. This time, I didn't upload completely new skin like I did previously, I have figured out I just needed to replace the file. I'm still learning about the DCS. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3314834/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
