Art-J Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 That's a nice skin, but from historical accuracy point of view, it needs to be improved. I like the aluminum finish and weathering, but there are some serious errors about national insignia. First, they're too small (should be the size of the default WWII symbols), but more importantly - they're reversed on the wings (the stars should be on top left and bottom right, while "USAF" writing should be on top right and bottom left). i7 9700K @ stock speed, single GTX1070, 32 gigs of RAM, TH Warthog, MFG Crosswind, Win10.

msalama Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 Man, that's a great skin, been using it for a couple of days already. & just love the yellow tooth too - a bad beast with a baaad case or tartar :megalol: The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of.
Sleipner Posted March 22, 2015 Author Posted March 22, 2015 Download updated on use file for few corrections (thanks to Art-J) msalama, glad you enjoy, see you in the air!
Art-J Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 Like this @@? Yep, that's a nice skin as well. Has it been released? i7 9700K @ stock speed, single GTX1070, 32 gigs of RAM, TH Warthog, MFG Crosswind, Win10.
msalama Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 Man, the FF-736 is my nr. 1 favorite livery at the moment, so thank you for making it! A stellar job IMO :thumbup: Someone commented on the DL page how this skin has the best primer "paint" ever done for the DCS Pony, and I agree; that slightly oxidized / yellowish tint is just superb. Any chance we'll get more Korea skins in the future, BTW? You do such a great job of it that I'd just _love_ to see more! The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of.

KL0083 Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 Yep, that's a nice skin as well. Has it been released? No,due to some littie detail have to be correct,the relesae will be later. But I'll make it intact ASAP.

The USAF Mustang nr. 511529 is an interesting one. It has no squadron markings, so maybe it hasn't been deployed yet? Or maybe it even fought like that, who knows?

Art-J Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 Sleipner, I hope You don't mind a bit of a constructive criticism. In my opinion there's one thing which separates Your Korean War skins from being "good" and "perfect" and this is a problem of national markings: a) They are very low-res, which stands out compared to great detail of other elements on Your skin; b) They have wrong proportions - the diameter of the star is too small compared to the width and height of the side bars. The post 1947 markings had exactly the same proportions as 1943-1946 ones (the only difference being addition of red stripes), so If You use default WWII markings as a base, You will get correct shape; c) You used the same size of the markings for wings and fuselage, which was never the case on USAF Mustangs (the wing ones should be bigger); That's the only thing which prevents me from using Your FF-736, 'cause otherwise it's a great skin indeed. i7 9700K @ stock speed, single GTX1070, 32 gigs of RAM, TH Warthog, MFG Crosswind, Win10.
Sleipner Posted March 23, 2015 Author Posted March 23, 2015 @Art-J: No problem at all for your "constructive criticism" it's even very instructive and i'll consider it for my futur skins. Thanks! @msalama: Thank you very much for the link; fantastic mine of informations! @KL0083: Nice FF-742. mine was not realistic enough. cheers!
