What settings in your graphics/gfx card are you using that make your game look so clean and bright.

Are you just making the screenshot look better or is this how it looks when you play the game?

The image below is from crazy eddies which looks the same as mine.

Please tell.

Are you using SWEET FX??

His game is the same as yours. The awesome planes in his screenshots simply look like that because the colours he used were very bright. The other skins have the colours more subdued and pastel for more realism.

 

That being said, your skins are still great, upuaut!

RCAF Golden Hawks

 

Another RCAF skin, done for a bit of fun and my own amusement. My ancient skinning programme does not do justice to the golden sheen of this skin so apologies in advance for the worn out look of it and the slightly incorrect lettering.

 

Uploaded today, available soon.

I have been playing with the 439 Sqn aircraft for Exercise Carte Blanche, but it is driving me nuts, the texture overlays are all over the place and its almost impossible to line the damn things up with my old programme.

 

It will look great if I ever finish it .............. !!!!!!

Very nice, but the turbine disintegration plane marking (the red line) shoudn't go over the USAF insignia (at least I've never seen a real life sabre painted like that). Fixing it is easy; just rearrange the layer stack.

 

Fixed and published in DCS User Files. Should be available sometime tomorrow. Thanks for the feedback :doh:

Skin: RCAF Sky Lancers

 

While waiting for the official F-86F template I thought I'd throw this into the ring... Sabre 23310 of No. 430 (Silver Falcon) Sqn, 2 Fighter Wing, RCAF Station Grostenquin, France.

 

In 1955, 2 Wing provided aircraft for a Europe based RCAF aerobatics team called the Sky Lancers. This was the debut year for the team and the paint scheme was essentially a Sky Lancers logo painted over top of a standard operational fighter scheme. The 1956 team got a bit more elaborate, more to follow ;)

Everything subject to change as we wait for the official template :)

 

Some Canadair Sabre Mk.5 panel details added, like the square vent ports on the fuselage sides and some panel line changes. Also redid the stencils to match the RCAF style (I have the font ;)) My plan is to eventually change the panel lines/normal maps/spec files to match the Canadair product, but this will happen later after the official template is released...

 

Should be available soon.

You will have to create some folders (the ones in bold), as per my example.

 

Greetings from Port Elizabeth .. :)

 

Cheers

Tom

Hi Tom,

 

Thanks for the help, the SAAF Sabres are up and running!

(I remember watching them with teenage awe -I was 18, then - back in the mid '60s when doing basic training on Harvards in the Tvl. - maybe we'll strike it lucky and see some springbok/castle schemes as well, some day!)

 

Cheers,

Derek.
