Wine

My first try at the Su27 today ..

Greets, Wine.

Reg and sqn patches are real, but the Dutch flew the F-86K, not F-86F.

Thx SkateZilla, Here are some fictional "Dutch" Sabre's

We changed the smoke color for the Virtual Turkish Stars display in Flaming Cliffs 2, I'm pretty sure the color can be changed in DCS too. Look in the "DrawInfo.lua" file . You will find that here: DCS>Config>Weapons , the DrawInfo.lua file.

Nice vid, thank for posting !

Thanks Skatezilla, We really hope that the E.D. team will take this "bug" and solve it.

Hi, We first noticed that parts of the skin textures on the su27 are flickering when the aircraft is in a distance and would like the know if this is a bug that can be fixed. The flickering on the Su27 occurs on the left wing flap, the right wing aileron, parts of the right wing, parts on the fuselage, both engines and both horizontal elevators. ( the skin parts turn black on and off ) We also see the same flickering effect on the Su33. The flickering occurs on the left wing aileron, the left canard wing, the right wing, the right horizontal elevator. ( the skin parts turn black on and off ) A series of tests flights with the flyable aircrafts, Su25, Mig29, F15 and P51 were done with the same mission and there was no texture flickering effect visible. My DCS 1.2.7 ( also DCS 1.2.8 open Beta ) Graphics settings: HIGH, and not used any modified setting in the graphics.lua file. MSAA 8x, HDR Warm Colors. Disable Aero Interface V, Tree Shadows -, VSYNC -, Full Screen -, Cockpit shadows V, TSSAA V, Auto Detect Oculs Rift V. My system specs: i7 920 2,66 GHz 16 GB RAM NVidia GTX 570 3GB A short video 1280x720 HD is created to show the flickering of the textures, please check: DCS Su27 and Su33 Skin Flickering Maybe the E.D. testers team / you can perform a test with the Su27 / Su33 and give us feedback. That would be much appreciated ! Wine, Tango.

Very nice DCS Promo vid Glowing Amraam ! Enjoyed it !

Thx number3 and Grimes Thanks guys, I will take a look at the information given. Greets, Wine.

Help wanted for a pre damage script for the RNLAF Apache D Hi, I'm Wine of the Virtual Aerobatic Group from the Netherlands. For several years we are virtualy demostrating the RNLAF Apache Demo in BS1/FC2 at VFAT. We would like to move towards BS2/DCS-W with the demo and fly it at VFAT 2014 in BS2/DCS-W. But, we have one big wish ! We want the Longbow radar removed from the Apache, because the "Dutch" Apache D's don't have these. ( In the past we could hide it within a Alpha Layer of the skin texture. ) I discovered that in DCS this aint possible, but the Longbow radar should be removeable by using a (DAMAGE ) script which is activated at mission start. I need desperate help with a .lua script file (or text) to add to the mission trigger. Below a few screenshots that should be helpfull, The argument #53 in the model viewer example is set to -0.002 , that makes the Longbow radar to disappear from the Apache D model or any value below zero. In the mission triggers damage can be edit to a unit ( in this case pilot#001 ) But, the trigger still needs an action .. ? And I think, that's where I need the .lua script for the removal of the Longbow radar. The damage.lua file in the "aircrafts" folder shows the argument #53 and more values. (The AH-64A_cells_properties are used by the AH-64D too.) A picture of the operational "Dutch" Apache AH-64D shows that they do not have the Longbow Radar. The Apache Demo in BS1/FC2: If you zoom in closely towards the spot of the Longbow Radar, you'll see some small texture fragments left, but in flight you don't notice it to much .. I really, really hope "Grimes", "Speed" or another .lua script able writer can help me ! Greets, Wine.

Thanks Mainstray and joey45, Indeed, found the layers with the GIMP program ! WIP with the new templates and creating skins. Thanks again and greets !

DGambo, Are all .PSD template files with multiple layers in the .zip file ? My texture editing program, Paint Shop Pro 9, only shows multiple layers in the Su27_tex01, 03 and 06 files. The others are one single layer when I open them. I would appreciate feedback, very much. Greetings, Wine.

HI, I downloaded the DCS SU-27 external 3D model texture templates by GK here: http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/347154/ But when open the .Psd files in my texture editing program, Paint Shop Pro 9 (a), only the: Su-27_tex01, Su-27_tex03 and Su27_tex06 .Psd files show up with multiple layers. The Su27_tex02, Su27_tex04, Su27_tex05 and Su27_tex07 show up with one single layer .. Does anyone know if this is correct ? I would like to create some skins with the templates for the new DCS Su-27 model. Feedback would be awesome ! Greets, Wine.

Apache please ! We, the Virual-Aerobatic-Group, would like the Apache in DCS-World, and this is why ;) Or do we have to stay in the virtual world of LockOn Flaming Cliffs 2 and BlackShark 1 ( check from 3'.15" or just watch the whole video of the combined display with the F16.)

Yes SkateZilla, just like the F16A's of the RNLAF ( the Belgium and Norwegian too by the way ) they have an parachute box on the tail, the US F16 don't. That was / is also modeled by E.D. So I think it's possible for them to model it. Greets.

Dear E.D. development team, On behalf of the Dutch DCS-World / BlackShark2 / Flaming Cliffs 3 community, we would like to make a request for an update of the AH-64D Apache model for the Royal Netherlands Air Force ( RNLAF ). We have something to offer in return ! The operational RNLAF AH-64D is not equipped with the Longbow radar on top of the rotor head. The RNLAF version is known as the “Radarless Longbow”. It also does not have the IR jammer cylinder installed on top of the fuselage. We would like to request to remove the longbow radar and add the smaller system on the model for the RNLAF AH-64D. We would like to request to remove the IR jammer from the model for the RNLAF AH-64D. The RNLAF AH-64D’s are equipped with the Amase protection system, which can detect guided missiles ( SAM’s ) and can respond to the threats of heat seeking missiles by firing flares. We have created both the Amase pod models, the shape of the left and right Amase pods are a little different and we would like to provide these models including the green camo color skin file to the E.D. development team for use with the RNLAF AH-64D. In order to be able to add the normal weapons, this also means we need two extra pylons to be fitted on the model to be able to select and add the Amase pods to the RNLAF AH-64D in the mission editor / load-out editor. We would like the RNLAF AH-64D to fire 4 flares at the same time, 2 flares on the left and 2 on the right side and in different directions like displayed in the picture of the demo Apache. The flares should be fired from the location of the Amase pods. Responding to our request would be much appreciated by the Dutch DCS-World / BlackShark 2 / Flaming Cliffs 3 community.

R.I.P Jim I had the privilege to meet Jim at the FS-Weekend at the Aviodrome Airmuseum here in Holland a few years ago. The Fighter Collection cap I got from Jim personaly will remember me, the very kind man I met there, for always ! R.I.P Jim !

LAN connection, please ! +1 We need a LAN setup to demonstrate our Virtual Aerobatic Teams for a live audience in places were no internet connection is available.:pilotfly:

That's :megalol::megalol::megalol::megalol::megalol: A very good job Masje_NL :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup: So, you got far in the end ! I'm working on the RNLAF 120/121Sqn P-51D's of the Dutch Indisch era.

W.I.P. RNLAF H-307 Hi, I busy with a project of ( Historic ) Dutch P-51's. This is the first one, based on the real H-307, but still W.I.P. at this time. I hope you like it :pilotfly: Greets, Wine.

Softth ??? Kun je je svp nader verklaren, begrijp niet wat je bedoeld ? Groet, Wine.

Listen to "Miss Velma", a video for your ears ! Hi, I flew some aerobatic maneuvers with P-51D "Miss Velma" this week and when looking back the track ... It had to become a short , for your ears, that is ... !!! :pilotfly: Greets, Wine.

Cobra back in FC3 ! I created a short about the test ( a failure ) to get the Cobra back in FC3 by myself and the wishlist for the Virtual Aerobatics community. I hope you appreciate it :pilotfly:

Hi, I would like to post this thread with a wishlist for the Virtual Aerobatic community. I hope the devellopers can and will support us for stepping forward from using FC2 - DCS BlackShark to use DCS-World / Flaming Cliffs 3 - P-51D - BlackShark 2, etc. as our primary Virtual Aerobatics simulator. I'm sure the devellopers are aware of the Virtual Festival of Aerobatic Teams "VFAT". In december 2012 the airshows by more than 30 Virtual Aerobatic Teams were watched by hundreds to nearly a thousend viewers simultaneously at the Virtual-Airshows livestream channel. Most teams used Flaming Cliffs 2 and DCS BlackShark for their display. In fact, we promote the simulators each year world wide with VFAT and personaly we also promote the simulators with the Virtual Aerobatic Group for a live audience at the ( Worlds Biggest ) International Flight Sim Event in The Netherlands at the Aviodrome Air Museum with Aerobatic demonstrations. Short wishlist: - Pugachev's Cobra maneuver ( back ) for the Sukhoi 27-33 and the Mig 29. - Tailslide maneuver for the Sukhoi 27-33 and the Mig 29. - New airbase / airshow related vihicles and static objects. - New / Improved dynamics of the smoke engine when using a smoke generator. - Freedom of changing smoke color in flight. - Add the smoke generator as ordnance for use by the BlackShark, P-51D, etc. - Improved sound loops / sdef files for jet aircrafts. - A new flyable modern military prop training aircraft with a ( 6DOF ) cockpit model. - A coop of Eagle Dynamics and the creators of Modman. - Freedom of LAN missions without the need of an internet connection. I hope, that E.D. can / will come with updates for DCS-World - Flaming Cliffs 3 towards the Virtual Airshow community. It will be much appreciated ! Virtual Airshow community members, please post your wishes in this thread too !
