Fearsome-13

nullGorgeous AZ silhouette

Working on this slowly...

Good morning Vlad, Thanks for the kind words... and yes due to current limitations the AZs have to be flown like that... CE retracted, EE extended. Having flown into Hoedspruit numerous times, I can only imagine how amazing that base would have been during its peak. Which DCS Squadron do you fly with? Thank you as well for the kind words. Basically all my skins will work in either the CE or EE folders. Just be aware that you will be stuck with the refueling probe on the EE until further notice. You can drag and drop any of the AZs skins into either the CE or EE folders.... and they should show up correctly. That final AZ livery was also always my favorite... it just look soo good on the AZ. Cheers!

Hi Vlad, I am open to correction but I believe that you should simply be able to copy and paste the AZ/CZ liveries into the CE/EE folder, and select them under South Africa. That is how I set them up to be used. I am busy updating DCS myself, so I will check if the AZ functions correctly with the EE cockpit in the morning. Please do let me know what you think of the SAAF skins, I worked quite hard to bring them up to a decent spec for the new 3d model that Aerges put together for us.

Bit of fun in the mission maker... null

Hi there @Bremspropeller Thanks for the message, and apologies for taking so long to get back to you! I am looking into updating all my liveries for the F1.... which will include both AZ and CZs up to the new standard. Unfortunately I have a full time flying roster, and it leaves very little time for photoshop these days.... I was hoping to have everything updated more quickly than I have been able to. But rest assured they will be done up to spec. 203 (Le Spectre), will be updated.... as will 213 which flew in the standard camo during the Mig shoot down.

Hi RockMyRoot A good effort. I had done some Cheetah C inspired liveries for the M2000 some years ago. A few points to correct: The South African insignia are always as follows: The Cheetahs wore 3 different versions of the SAAF insignia, Castle and Springbok, Castle and Eagle, and then the new 9 point star (Cookie cutter) and eagle. The Springboks/Eagles always face forward on the fuselage, and they always face inwards on the wings. There were two different Cheetah C schemes that the aircraft were painted in: An air-to-air scheme which the colors were not as distinct from each other as in the pic of Cheetah C 347. The air-to-ground scheme which the diamond was darker. Good effort for your first livery, please keep up the good work!

Hi everyone... Though I may start a new thread for anyone interested in my work done on the F1. I will focus almost exclusively on SAAF liveries at this time. The F1CZ carried 2 main schemes during its service life: The Deep buff delivery scheme which has now become the default CZ livery for Aerges. The second was known as the Air Superiority Scheme, as the CZ was primarily an interceptor. The first aircraft trialed in these colors was nicknamed Le Spectre by the squadron... and she definitely validated the use of the AS scheme by claiming our 2nd MiG kill of the Bushwar. Other CZs were subsequently repainted into the AS scheme as time went by. By the time the squadron was closed down in 1992, all CZs had been repainted. Le Spectre was unique in a few ways as she had very toned down markings, and very few service stencils. There are not alot of clear photos of her to work from. This is where she stands in photoshop as of now. The final version of the AS before the type's retirement featured slightly different national insignia, and overprayed service stencils... which will come at a later date

So next in line for the SAAF CZ No ETA as of yet. Got 3 days of travel coming up, and then some family time.

@Flappie @ARM505 Hi gents, thank you so much for the kind words... I am very happy that Aerges included my work in their product. I hope you guys have many hours of good hunting in her.

I never said it couldn't be done. I was simply saying that the Mirage in question was an ex SAAF F1AZ, and that the AZ is not in the game.

These are Ex South African Air Force F1AZs. We do not have the option for the AZ from Aerges.

As I am a SAAF fanatic, I have naturally undertaken to play with the F1CZ liveries... Please see the following WiP: Delivery scheme, corrections include: insignia, Mirage F1CZ stencil, locations of various markings, camo pattern to that of actual CZs, pilot helmet and patches Air superiority camo... this is just a test of layout/colors. I am focusing on the delivery scheme ATM
