sadjad-vosoul Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 (edited) Greetings Here are my Submissions : The Imperial Iranian Air force (IIAF) circa 1950 نیروی هوایی شاهنشاهی ایران 1- F-47D IIAF tail Number : 2-54 Download Link : https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3315378/ 2- F-47D IIAF tail Number : 2-60 Download Link : https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3315379/ 3- F-47D IIAF tail Number : 2-64 Download Link : https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3315380/ 4- F-47D IIAF tail Number : 2-85 Download Link : https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3315381/ * Special Thanks to my dear Friend Mr. Es-Haq Khosravi for supplying Persian tail number Decals and providing assets , Information , Historical Images and tips About Iranian F-47D * Special Thanks to Mr. Leon Manoucherians the Author of Iranian Aviation Website for Providing assets , Historical Documents and Images about Iranian F-47D Due to lack of Information it was not an easy Research, I share them here as Result : Spoiler 1- Thunderbolts were renamed F-47 (from P-47) after 1947, when USAF changed the P (Pursuit aircraft) to F (fighter) on all fighter aircraft. 2- Iran's 60 F-47s were all -30 (block 30), and since they came under MAP (Military assistance program) none were owned by Iran. They were like loaned aircraft still in USAF inventory. Most Iranian F-47Ds, including the 44-20872 (Tail number unknown) came from the USAF-Europe 368th Fighter Group. *Because they came from different USAF squadrons, they had different engine cowling color scheme. What was common was the Iranian flag on the tail rudder, and the dark green top on the fuselage (front and back of the cockpit). 3- serials in Farsi numerals should be with a dash, like 2-54 or 2-85, not 254 or 285 which were the initial serials almost immediately changed after delivery, when IIAF decided to use #2 prefix for all fighters. Anywhere you see #3 as prefix is an error. 4-Delivered from 1949-1950, they were all stationed at Ghaleh Morghi airfield (the first aerodrome in the middle east). 5- Tail Number 2-60 was EX- 368th Fighter Group and had thunder in front fuselage and low visible C2 mark on each side of rear part. USAF Serials C/n :http://www.joebaugher.com/usaf_serials/usafserials.html Note 1 : Concerning previous submissions, it has come to my attention that all IIAF skins by authors are inaccurate due to selection of wrong shade of color and decal size & position. Note 2 : Anti glare color is Default USAF Olive Green and people are always using the wrong shade of color for the flag and roundel. Please disregard all previous drawings and recolored real images. To ensure accuracy, I verified my concerns with one of the IIAF veterans ; he agreed that my assessment was correct. due to Copyrights i cannot share real pictures here but you can access to all of them at this website : http://www.iranianaviation.net DCS Pictures : IIF Project : https://forums.eagle.ru/topic/184997-iranian-fleet-skins/ ISAAC Edited March 6 by sadjad-vosoul 4 2 CPU: i5 7500 @ 3.8GHz + watercooling / Mainboard: ASUS STRIX H270F Gaming / Ram: 16gig 2400 / GPU: ASUS DUAL GTX 1060 6G OC /Monitor: ASUS VG278HE 27" 144Hrz / Headtracker: homemade track ir / HOTAS :Logitech 3D pro / Mouse & Keyboard: CoolerMaster Devastator 3 WISH LIST : KC-707 & KC-747 / F-5F Tiger II / F-4D/E Phantom II / T-45C Goshawk / AH-1J Intl.

ISAAC Nice. Exact air frame that I submitted 2 weeks ago. Thanks for pointing out the issues. If I change them in my skin, is that considered copying? What is the etiquette here? I'm pretty new to all this. Seems like most on this forum encourage and help each other out to get the best skins possible. Link to post Share on other sites

I understand it probably doesn’t make business sense to give away a free module for EVERY skin competition.... but they could give away some bonus bucks or whatever they call it (that stuff you earn when you buy a module) 2 Link to post Share on other sites

The Thunderbolt´s amount of liveries in the download section of DCS site flourished with amazing skins lately. Regardless of who wins, there is a lot of talent to be seen here.

EL_LEJI Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 I would like to say that each and every one of the participants has my respect and admiration. Dedicating your time and effort in creating skins for the use and enjoyment of the entire community, already deserves an award. Great job from all of you guys, and I wish you the best of luck in the competition. The guys from ED will have a hard time with so much quality material to decide the winners. 2 1 http://www.cruzdesanandres.com/ Windows 10 Pro - Asus maximus VII Hero - I7 4790K oc 4,800 Mhz - Ram 16 GB G.Skill Ripjaws X DDR3 2133 Mhz - Samsung 840 EVO 500GB - RTX 2070 8Gb - Gigabyte GQ32C 2560 x 1440 (QHD)- Hotas Saitek Rhino X56 - Saitek pro flight rudder pedals - Track IR 5 - VR Lenovo Explorer Link to post Share on other sites
