If you download any of my Canadian skins, you MUST first install Vik Vaughns Slovakia skin or it will not work. If you downloaded my (first) skin then you will have to do this first. Vik Vaughns Slovakia skin demo which comes with modman alters the .lua file to allow Canada to be flyable. If you installed the german skin or the denmark skin, they should still be flyable without the Slovakia skin since they are flown with russia. If they aren't, there is nothing I can do since now I've had it tested on the english version and the russian version and they have worked fine. I don't know what is happening on your end. I used the latest version of modman 7.1.1.0 to create these skins so make sure that is updated. Try uninstalling and reinstalling.

Im hearing reports that my skins may not work with the Russian version. My skins are all tested on the English version only. I'm sorry to hear that the Russian version gives you problems. Could anyone downloading my skins tell me if they are having problems with the Russian version. And more importantly, could anyone tell me if my skins WORK with the Russian version. Thankyou.

I've resubmitted the German skin with the Iron cross behind the rotor mast to www.Lockonfiles.com . Just waiting for verification. The updated file is version 1.4 ;)

LOL, I like that one.

Yeah I can do that I guess. I've already updated the skin. Its just a matter of posting it.

I don't know, never fiddled with the pilot skin.

Here is something else I've been toying with. A Squadron based skin. I am not going to use these colours, but I want to work around the lions head. I need to think of a colour sheme to go with this lions den skin. And I will be staying away from a camo scheme on this one.

I've been toying with the camo to create a skin that would blend in more with the surrounding game environment. I think I came up with a pretty good blend here.

Cool. Thanks.

Doh!!!!!! Thanks for finding that picture. But I've already posted it. ARRRGHHH. If I make another German skin it will be there.

I have uploaded the Denmark skin to www.lockonfiles.com and it is available for download. This is a Modman 7.1.1.0 compatible skin and is flyable with Russia only from the mission editor. ;) Enjoy

Well, I added the extra features that you suggested and I think it looks pretty good. I toned down the colours a bit as well. Check out the gun scoring marks as well. I like that. Here are some screenshots.

Thats perfect. Thanks for finding those. I'll add those in today. :thumbup:

First off I want to point out that yes you are entitled to your opinion and that your vote should be taken into account on whether or not the manual should be Russian or English. There is one point I would like to make though. If the Kamov company were to sell a batch of Ka-50 Black Sharks to a foreign country, do you not think that they would sell the aircraft with the cockpit translated to that countrys native language. And if they didn't, how easy would it to be for that foreign country to translate the cockpit themselves? Lets just say for example Canada bought a batch of Ka-50s from the Kamov company. Do you think that they would spend the extra money to train their pilots to be able to read in russian, or do you think they would have it in the contract to have the cockpit translated to english? And i'm sure Kamov would be more than willing to translate the cockpits to be read in english to make a sale. Not everyone plays this sim as a Russian. I myself have created plenty of Canadian skins to use with Canada on the game. I know that if Canada were to buy these helicopters that our pilots can be rest assured that they don't have to learn a new language. :book: Therefore your statement about "the cockpit being translated to english is cheating", has absolutely no basis in this topic. The topic is about whether or not we would buy the manual in North America or not. From my understanding, you will get your wish anyways, but having english translations is certainly not cheating. Just a note, I meant no disrespect, I'm just voicing my opinion.;)

This is only good if you know what you are doing. Alot of the people here dont know how to alter the db_countries.lua file to make their country playable. I know how to do it myself but I am trying to make it easier for the person who doesn't know how to alter these files, but knows how to use modman. Once RCN_Moose gets that mod ready to use, I will be posting these skins to play in their respective countries. Fortunately for us Canadians, the Slovak skin already alters the .lua file to allow us to make skins flyable with Canada.

Yes it will be Modman 7.1.1.0 compatible. However you will have to fly it with Russia because I am unable to make it flyable with Germany unless I produce a mod to rewrite your db_countries.lua file. RCN_Moose is trying to make a mod right now that will rewrite the .lua file to make all countries flyable.

You know what I just found a good picture of a Tiger and they dont have Roundels on the top of the cockpit. There is no room for them. As I was trying to resemble a german attack helo, I think I will take them out after all.:smilewink: Thanks for the input.

When I first posted this skin I had forgotten to change the skin colour to the German Helicopter. That is why they were so far off. :doh: I was using the skin colour of the Danish skin I was making. As for the roundel on the top, I will be leaving that on there as they are actually on the real german helos. I am trying to match as closely as I can the photos I have seen. I am using the colour scheme of Cobras NH-90 post and it has a roundel on top of the cockpit. Thanks for the input :thumbup:

Thankyou for pointing out the extra markings I will Definitely add them in. Never noticed them. As for the yellow markings on the tail, those are just a warning sign for the tail rotor. Since the KA-50 doesn't have a tail rotor, I think I should leave that one out. The Burned gun effect is an awesome idea, I am definitely going to try to implement that on all my skins now. I also just noticed a symbol or a coat of arms of some sort on the door. I have no idea what it is. If you could find that for me on the web, or if you know what that is I'll be glad to put that one in as well. Thanks for the input.

Thats because I'm laid off and bored. Damn economy!!! Plus everything I do is in layers so I can just quickly add or subtract a layer to a skin. Adobe Photoshop elements 7 is an awesome program. Im getting really efficient at it.
