Hello, With some friends we noticed that on external views, with any livery selected, DCS displays the "missing texture" texture on the canopy holding handle : I have some experience in making liveries so I checked myself : turns out with modelviewer that we have an error code for a missing texture "M2KC_12C". So I created a yellow M2KC_12C placed in \DCS World\CoreMods\aircraft\M-2000C\Textures\M-2000C and it works : I tried to take the M2000C_12C from \DCS World\Mods\aircraft\M-2000C\Textures\M-2000C-CPT but it doesn't match : I went for an entire files repair on my DCS but it doesn't solved the problem. Then an idea came in... There is a Metal2Mesh M2000 for FS2020 somewhere on the internet. Turns out it sill contains the M2KC_12C file. Problem solved, file attached, to place in your \DCS World\CoreMods\aircraft\M-2000C\Textures\M-2000C folder : M2KC_12C.dds Now if Razbam could patch this You're welcome !

Metal2Mesh website looks down... I still have the files, I'm not sure I can ditribute them online...

This doesn't help ? (from Paint Kits | Razbam Simulations (razbamsimulationsllc.com) )

UPDATE : to get rid of the french label shadows in EN cockpit, I included a tutorial in the package I'm sharing here : EN blue cockpit normal maps.pdf description.lua

Hi Jaguara, I voluntarily change the color to a slighlty more grey one, while working on the details based on the originally blue windscreen strucutre and these google files : Under different light conditions, you can see it more blue than on the previous picture : I'll be at the museum this saturday, maybe i'll find some people who worked on the 2000 repaintings, I'll ask a few questions and make corrections

Hi Rudel_chw, My problem is gone, I found that the default DDS texture files for screws and main panel contains colors + alpha chanel for the lights, I had to disassemble the cannels and recompose the file, It works properly now

I made it ! I found the issue and made huge progress in comprehension on how DDS livery files are packed. I wanted to update one file with FR&EN languages but it was 400Mo, too heavy for the DCS user files. I had to make concessions on the EN language, you will notice that you can see french shadows in certain light conditions, this is due to an absent normal map.

Hi flyingdutchy, you've patiented long enough... I gave it a try : If you're still interested, i'll take some time to adjust a few things and publish it

Work in progress but I miss something Now my board generates light at night... I have some research to do before uploading anything, thanks for your patience

Hi jaguara5, Thanks for those documents, this helps much ! I noticed that the B01 is painted differently, I'm trying to get some information ont this particular model but I'm continuing working on the blue cockpit. Currently mapping all the cockpit liveries files using a yellow image if you want some details : (found the screws & swithces file !)

Hi Fearsome-13, I have a huge lack of SAAF knowledge, thank you for teaching me some tips Corrections and additions are being made : I'm about to upload the three liveries in one pack. I just need to find three matching S/N with the Castle Springbok - Castle Eagle - Cookie Eagle EDIT : Updated ! https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/fr/files/3336411/ Now working on patches, again i'm asking for your knowledge to be as accurate as possible. Maybe if you know some specific helmet, I can customize too :

Hi, i corrected things like : no step logos added serial number font curve of the grey losange labels now in English And it is online : https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/fr/files/3336411/

Hello, I worked on the logo with picutes of Atlas Cheetah found online, if i'ts good enough for you, i'll update it with two versions of roundels and different serial number :

Funny coincidence, I joined the CAEA (Conservatoire Air et Espace Aquitaine) assoication two days after my message here. They own the very Mirage 2000B-01 of your first pic. I did not notice that the cockpit was blue, you can see it brey/black/blue depending on the light conditions. I'll take more pics to work to get the same effect in DCS, now I have access to a real one

Hello, Begginer here, work in progress If you have further pictures of the real blue cockpit, i'm lookin some to be as accurate as possible
