Based on MIL-STD-2161B(AS) APPENDIX B Figures D-2, D-14.

FED-35237

FED-36320

FED-36495

 

The FED colours appear too light compared to published photos. Also depending on light conditions the grey tends to reflect the surrounding blue more.

 

No disrespect is intended for not applying the appropriate crew labeling, including the golden wrench. It is just to keep the paint schemes more generic. The shoulder patch is improvised due to texture limitations. Airframes are based on what reference was available for interpretation at the time of making these files. While it would be brilliant to have a full MH-60S in game, the Huey is very welcome and fun to fly.

 

Special thanks to Home Fries for allowing others to utilise his excellent textures.

These were obtained from the DCS website

Texture files used directly;

pilot_uh1_01_Des_USMC.dds

uh_1_blade_nomark.dds

uh1_weapon_grey.dds (renamed to the default filename.)

 

Texture files modified to suit this scheme.

pilot_uh1_02_Des_USMC.dds - No disrespect intended.

pilot_uh1_patch_1_usmc_des.dds

 

At this time I cannot modify the Gunners Arm patches or the weapon colours. When it is possible I will undate the files.

 

ALSO;

 

Many thanks to Eagle Dynamics, and everyone involved with supporting this brilliant combat sim.

[Rolfey]

[Home Fries]

Skins look great BrassEm. And thank you for providing credit where it is due!

 

I have some USN pilot and helmet skins you might be interested in, as well as some ideas. Drop me a PM.

 

EDIT: In the USMC MEU skin pack you linked, I actually colored the hardpoints compass grey in version 1.1 and later. You may want to give that a look.

Did these ever get finished?

Did these ever get finished?

 

Only some very minor details need to be adjusted. Otherwise good to go.

 

Will revisit.

 

Update 24/06/2017

 

On checking my files on the old data disk drive I've discovered that the directory has corrupted and is unreadable. The skins are what they are with no chance of updating them unless I do them from scratch again, which will be low on the list.

BrassEm,

 

Sorry for the delayed response, I am a space cadet and forget to follow up on these. Thank you for your work and the update.
