Started final camo scheme, 1 CAG, Baden-Soellingen, West Germany.... W.I.P (Dark Green to be added and demarcation between upper and lower finish to be cleaned up)

All-over green scheme, later version with symmetrical markings, 439 Squadron. (W.I.P)

Still W.I.P., nothing final yet. Do not open until Christmas....

Yes please, G model will do nicely :)

Big plus one from me.

Officially jealous! 8)

Yeah the skins will still be released, I only see them as AI as well, I don't have FC3. Glad you like the Sabre skins :)

I hope you are feeling better! Thanks again for this great software. Can you tell us if axis mapping will be available soon? :)

Mmmmmmmmm Pulverizer.

Sweet!

Also, if you use 3rd party software to program ON/OFF switches to send two commands, you’ll only use half of the inputs on your board vs. using ON/ON switches.

Golden Hawks skins released, see first post in this thread for link.

Not sure about USAF skins, my 104 template will be back on the work bench soon, got side tracked with some overdue Sabre projects/new requests. :)

Only one colour? BORRRRRRRRINNNNNGGG!!! Red, White, and Blue, the colours of the RCAF nationality markings! In a 5-ship V formation, 2 left side from lead were blue, lead in center was white, and 2 right side from lead were red. I believe the red and blue were darker on the Sabres on the outside, furthest from center. :D

Very, very nice! :)

Beautiful!

Awesome! :)

Try changing true to false in your “empty”,true entries, and make sure the “empty” texture file is inside your livery folder. If a line ends with true, it tells the game to look in the default textures folder for texture files to use. If it ends with false, it tells the game to look for the texture file outside of the default textures folder.

Thanks guys! :)

I think you might be thinking of the mass retro fit performed on the exported Mk.2 and Mk.4, where the slatted, narrow chord wing was replaced by the hard/fenced 6-3 wing before delivery to other air forces. I’m pretty sure all Mk.5s produced retained the hard edge wing throughout service life, even after being returned to Canada. Initial Mk.6 aircraft also had the hard wing but were retro fitted with the slatted version of the 6-3 wing after it became the production standard at Canadair. As far as I know the only “Mk.5” with slats was Hawk One, and she was/is a Franken-Sabre: Mk.5 aircraft with Mk.6 engine (Orenda 14 vs. 10) and with American F-40 (slatted, tip extensions, two pylons) wing. BTW, it would be interesting to hear from a Canadair employee from back in the day about the model numbering convention, I’ve seen both styles of numeral in print. I choose to use Arabic vs. Roman numerals (Mk.6 vs Mk.VI) because I’m lazy :)

The 6-3 wing was first introduced to RCAF Sabres with the Mk.5. Previous versions of the Canadair product (Mk.1-4) all had the slatted, narrow chord wing. The first 180-200 Mk.6 aircraft originally had the hard-edged 6-3 wing until slats were reintroduced, and all Mk.6s were eventually fitted with the slatted 6-3 wing. The other major difference was Canadair never used a dual pylon version like we have in DCS. RCAF Sabres always had a single pylon wing, regardless of type. The later USAF wing with leading edge slats also had 12” wingtip extensions which Canadair never adopted.

Production Mk.6 (Canadair model CL-13B) aircraft did not have afterburners. A Mk.6 was fitted with an afterburning engine for tests (CL-13C) but never made it past the testing stage.

You should find the edm file for the tank(s) in the same Shapes folder for the aircraft type. Click on the tank shape edm you want to view and then choose the livery like you would for the aircraft.

Great stuff! :)

Unfortunately, like a lot of us, I may have more free time in the near future than I really need.... will probably spend some of it on the computer ;)
