    Other people should check before working that the stuff works before getting to work. I mean that's what I do first whenever doing a new skin.

    Thats what I do too but sometimes ED is making changes to the models and I don't have time to change my liveries every day to fix this 🙂 that's why I was asking because TBH I haven't found time to start DCS for weeks now...

    These are awesome but is there any chance of adding some more bort numbers ot the MiG-29A? Or making them dynamic? 

    Thanks for your efforts!

    Thanks for your nice words. It took me weeks of research to create those 🙂 Unfortunately I'm unable to create dynamic BORT numbers for the MiG-29A because the size of the bort numbers on the MiG-29A would not allow enough space for a 3rd number in front of them. I'm currently researching for a 4th MiG-29 paint scheme (#699) so I hope to add this in the future as well.

    German and East-German liveries

    in MiG-29

    Can someone please show me a screenshot of my East German MiG-29A or C skin in the new map?

    Green checks normally means there is a skin file missing. Did they update the MiG-29 models again?

    Aviation Livery – A New Home for Aircraft Liveries

    in Military and Aviation

    Posted

    Hi everyone,

    As many of you know, Wings Palette has been offline for quite some time, leaving a gap for those of us who rely on accurate aircraft liveries for research, digital art, and model building.

    I've recently started a new project called Aviation Livery (www.aviationlivery.com), where I aim to preserve and expand the collection of historical military aircraft liveries. The site allows users to explore liveries by air force, time period, and manufacturer, making it a useful resource for flight sim enthusiasts, model builders, and history buffs alike.

    In addition to the growing livery database, I’m also sharing interesting links to related resources and will be publishing my own research articles on historical liveries, aircraft markings, and aviation history.

    Right now, the site is still in its early stages, but I’m actively adding more liveries and features. If you're interested, feel free to check it out – and if you have feedback or suggestions, I’d love to hear them!

    Looking forward to growing this project.

    Thanks for reading! ✈️

    Fictional GDR LSK

    in Su-27

    Hi Volator

    Thank you for your information and the JG-2 patch. I'll used JBG-77 patch because I found it in a good quality. That's why I also painted the Su-27 in MiG-23 colors 😉

    But I'll see what I can do. thanks to you I have now there squadrons.

    Regarding the three-digits tactical numbers: Unfortunately the Su-27 only allows 2 dynamic BORT numbers. Maybe I have to fake a fixed 3rd BORT number 😉

    Fictional GDR LSK

    in Su-27

    Posted

    After my recent trip to Berlin, my interest in the GDR has been rekindled. Therefore I decided to create 2 fictitious paint schemes for the Su-27. First, I'll make a Su-27 in standard Soviet livery, which the GDR would have received as an ally of the Soviet Union. Then I will make another one in the typical MiG-29 livery of the LSK in brown and green.

    Currently the emblem of JG-3 is shown but I'd like to show a different JG because JG-3 was using the MiG-29 and others were using the MiG-21. So my guess is, that one of those other JGs would have transitioned to the Su-27. Any help regarding batches of different JG is welcomed.

    Too much default skins?

    in DCS: OH-58 Kiowa

    Posted · Edited by CHSubZero

    First of all, we are talking about a post I made four years ago 🙂 And just to clarify: I love to have many liveries for a module. Don't get me wrong. But when I made the post 4 years ago it was the time the F-14 module came out with a HUGE amount of disk space just for liveries. I mean nearly 14 GB just for liveries of one module. I earn almost every module but I have to uninstall a few terrains to get only the module installed I'd like to have.

    And at this time I saw also those multiple Spanish Air Force liveries for the F/A-18 module which just were different for the immatriculation number. I love to have many liveries but for such amount an optional livery pack would have been way better.

    But, and I hope you all are reading this far in my post, I applause Polychop for adding 60 liveries but only using 3 GB. THAT's what I as a customer and Software Engineer myself expect from a good company. To also keep in mind those customers, that have to uninstall modules because of a HUGE amount of space in CoreMods folder, where everything is stored also for modules customers don't have.

    Fictional Swiss Air Force

    in MB-339

    Posted · Edited by CHSubZero

    This pack contains different skins for the Aermacchi MB-339A and MB-339A/PAN based on the British Aerospace Hawk Mk 66 while in service with the Swiss Air Force from 1989 until 2002.

    U-1251 was build and test-flown in Great Britain and then transfered to Switzerland. U-1252 and the other Hawks were assembled in Switzerland and received the final paint.

    The skins include a custom pilot texture, patches and the DEFA gun pod colored like the Aden Gunpod of the Hawk Mk 66

    Germany Skin Pack

    in F-86F

    Posted · Edited by CHSubZero

    In the meantime I found a better source of RAL colors used on the German Flag. I'll change now the color scheme from the bright one used now (left in the picture below) to the in my eye more realistic one (right side in the picture below).

    The right one is realistic, same for the yellow of the Hartmann tulip and the yellow stripe on BB-387 & red stripe on BB-277. 

    The BB-stripes as well as the Hartman tulip colors are using the same as the fin flag. Found somewhere a discussion and there was a consensus that it‘s the same color.

    In my opinion the yellow is too bright as well that‘s why I‘m searching resources and opinions 🙂
