While we're waiting for the proper layered template for the superb Sabre to be released I thought I'd have a tentative stab (no pun intended) at skinning in DCS which I have not tried before. (All my experience is in IL2:46 and a little FSX). This is a bit different in as much as the LUA file is concerned. So at the moment its baby steps.

I have resized the star and bar markings as the "arms" were too long and the colours rather too bright, the wing insignia too small also. I have also applied the USAF legend to the upper starboard and lower port wings. I have changed the 24 serial prefix font to the correct style and tinkered about with the metal colour as best I can on a none layered template. (Still far from happy and await the EDGE update eagerly). As I said, "baby steps".

But to start I thought I would do Major James Jabara's Sabre, as its in the "Mig Sweep" mission. The serial is not correct as I have yet to work out how to disable in-game BORT numbers (any advice welcomed on that point). I have also done a generic 4th FIW version without the Jabara name and kill markings to make up the rest of the flight.

If there's any interest I will post them in the user files section and probably at Lock On Files too.

Thanks chaps. I will examine the link you kindly provided Sabre-TLA, thanks for that.

I have now removed the stenciling from beneath the first row of victory markings and repositioned them slightly.

I have just submitted the files to the User Files section of DCS so hopefully they will be up soon.

The zip file contains both the Jabara and the generic 4th FIW liveries.
