Skoshi Tiger Posted May 11, 2013 Posted May 11, 2013 (edited) Here is my first attempt at a skin for sim It's a quick and dirty Skin was created using the skin template from the DCS forum and is loosely based on A2-1019, an Vietnam veteran Iraquois preserved at the Australian War Memorial. I wouldn't call it "Historical" as A2-1019 was a UH-1B and did not have the gun and rocket pods. This aircraft is closer in configuration to the RAAF's "Bushranger" gunships. My Contribution to the skin was basically the RAAF markings and blacked out nose. A2-1019 in service Bushranger Gunship Cheers! Edited May 11, 2013 by Skoshi Tiger
Rangi Posted May 11, 2013 Posted May 11, 2013 nice work, are you going to do the army version? I've done lots of skinning in FSX but not in DCS, I was going to do the Aust. army cammo at some stage but it will take me a while to get around to it so if someone does one in the meantime that would be great.

wess24m Posted May 11, 2013 Posted May 11, 2013 So I have a quick question about skinning. Which program do you make the new skin with and if I make a mission using a skin I made does whomever plays have to download the skin independently of the mission, or is it included within the mission file?
joey45 Posted May 11, 2013 Posted May 11, 2013 You can use photoshop or GiMP (which is free) For everybody to see it on MP they will have to have it installed themselves. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Phantom453 Posted May 14, 2013 Posted May 14, 2013 Hi Skoshi Tiger, Nice work. Is there some place I can download this skin if you are willing to share? I couldn't find it on the ED User Files download section. You should give the Army Bushranger Gunship a go as they were when with 5 Avn Regt.
J7G Posted May 15, 2013 Posted May 15, 2013 If someone could do that skin /\ I would be massively appreciative!
tromac2010 Posted May 15, 2013 Posted May 15, 2013 I'll get cracking on the bushranger skin over the next few days. 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
tromac2010 Posted May 16, 2013 Posted May 16, 2013 WIP I need to tweak a few things and change the crew skins. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Phantom453 Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 Wow Tromac, that is excellent!! Nice work. Two great Aussie skins now thanks to you and Skoshi Tiger. Gents are these available for download at all?
tromac2010 Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 I just want to fix a few minor things then I'll upload. Should be up tomorrow. Thanks for the comments guys. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Only thing left now is to change the gunners when the base textures are released. This actual chopper is down your way at Phillip Island. I was down there a few years ago, actually have to check my photos I should have some of it. 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
LiveBait Posted May 18, 2013 Posted May 18, 2013 Hey tromac, thanks for putting in the effort !! Looks great. OT: Was just at your groups website and stumbled across your broken surgeon simulator video. That was 5 mins ago and i'm still chuckling to myself. Funny stuff.
Rangi Posted May 18, 2013 Posted May 18, 2013 Great work tromac2010. Now if we could just get rid of those weapons pylons..... PC: 6600K @ 4.5 GHz, 12GB RAM, GTX 970, 32" 2K monitor.

tromac2010 Posted May 18, 2013 Posted May 18, 2013 I have to apologise to Skoshi for hijacking his thread as his skin is fantastic! I've released an update with better blended blacks and also added two additional aircraft numbers. So there is now A2-110, A2-149 and A2-295 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
