jocko417 Posted October 2, 2015 Posted October 2, 2015 (edited) Just fooling around with markings right now, this could be a whole lot of fun when it's flyable... always thought it would be a cool personal aircraft, if the Queen was kind enough to keep the tanks topped up for me ;) No, Canada never flew the F-5E, but certain improvements made by Canadair to the original F-5 (two-position nose gear, louvered aux engine doors, etc.) did find their way into the F-5E design.

Vedexent Posted May 18, 2016 Posted May 18, 2016 Very much like this :) Love to see this as a flyable livery for the F-5E when she comes out.

carss Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 Wow, has this one been released? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Planes: FC3, P-51, F-86, F-5E, Mirage 2000, F/A-18, F-14, F-16, Mig-19P :joystick: ED pls gib A-4 and F-4 :cry:
carss Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 Also, didn't Canada have the F-5 known as the CF-5?? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Planes: FC3, P-51, F-86, F-5E, Mirage 2000, F/A-18, F-14, F-16, Mig-19P :joystick: ED pls gib A-4 and F-4 :cry:
jocko417 Posted July 18, 2016 Author Posted July 18, 2016 (edited) Not released... yet. Yes, Canadair built the CF-5A under licence, as well as the two seat CF-5D, and the NF-5 for the Royal Netherlands Air Force. Later, surplus aircraft were used by Turkey, Greece and Venezuela. I am looking forward to making paint schemes for the F-5E but I don't think I'll get too deep into it until we know how many changes may occur before the product is out of beta. Plus, the Spit is probably not too far away and I have a boatload of RCAF Spitfire resources. Edited July 18, 2016 by jocko417
jocko417 Posted September 10, 2016 Author Posted September 10, 2016 (edited) Nothing final yet, just mucking around and getting to know the template... Earliest CF-5A camo scheme was Dark Green/Grey over Light Grey. The markings are the symmetrical type with the english and french versions of Armed Forces flanking the roundel. "CANADA" titles need to be moved aft a bit, near the aux doors, flag/serial group needs to be smaller. Anyway, it's a start. :) Edited September 10, 2016 by jocko417
jocko417 Posted September 22, 2016 Author Posted September 22, 2016 Progress. Haven't decided exactly how "Canadian" I'm going to with this one ;) I could change certain things (Fuel cap locations, etc) via new normal maps to replicate a CF-5A but I think for now I'll wait and see how many changes occur with the model/mapping. The Sabre, although fun and rewarding to paint, was a lot of work. Haven't started with the tip tank mod yet. BTW, is it even possible to change the aluminum back end at the moment? Can't seem to get rid of the shininess regardless of what I do with the Dif and Spec layers...
Gladman Posted September 22, 2016 Posted September 22, 2016 Looks great man.

jocko417 Posted September 23, 2016 Author Posted September 23, 2016 116709 of No. 433 "Porcupine" Squadron... Nothing is final yet: CF-5 camo and markings/stencils changed quite a bit over the 25-odd years the aircraft was on strength. Still can't change the shiny metal aft end...
Ktulu2 Posted September 23, 2016 Posted September 23, 2016 Missing wing canadian logo ;) I do DCS videos on youtube : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAs8VxtXRJHZLnKS4mKunnQ?view_as=public
jocko417 Posted September 23, 2016 Author Posted September 23, 2016 That came later with the wrap around camo scheme... Above has the light grey underside, because I haven't finished the under wrap around ;) Like I said, nothing is final yet, markings and stencils may not match camo timeline :)
jocko417 Posted September 29, 2016 Author Posted September 29, 2016 This will probably be the first one I release... CF-5A "hack job" - 116709 of No. 433 "Porcupine" Squadron, Canadian Armed Forces. Early style variegated camo scheme with light grey under sides, full colour nationality markings. Need to clean up some stuff (camo pattern on aft end) first. Probably won't jump right into CF-5A skins yet until we know how many changes are coming to the template/mapping.
Jeepyb Posted November 12, 2016 Posted November 12, 2016 Hey very good work. I made this https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/2051636/?sphrase_id=4965023 back when the F5 was first released, in hope someone would come up with a skin like yours If you are looking to fly the F5 with other canucks, consider joining the 5EVC : http://http://5escadrevirtuelle.ca/ [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Callsign: BUNZ https://www.5vwing.com/
jocko417 Posted January 5, 2017 Author Posted January 5, 2017 Ok, changed my mind, first one will probably be 116757, No. 434 "Bluenose" TFS, circa 1973... to include period CAF pilot gear. Working on the tip tanks.
Gladman Posted January 6, 2017 Posted January 6, 2017 I've always loved the Bluenose squadron markings.
