Home Fries Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 I have just released fictional skin packs for the Su-25T representing USN A-7 Corsair II squadrons. The Su-25T is tactically painted according to MIL-STD-2161A(AS), with organizational markings matching the period from 1986-1991. The VA-72 Blue Hawks were SEAD pioneers in the USN, so they were naturals for the Su-25T. It also helps that there is a lot of photographs of their aircraft, so I was able to replicate the high color CAG and CO birds. And line skins Each skin has a normal version and a weathered version ideal for desert maps. The VA-46 Clansmen were a sister squadron to VA-72 in Desert Storm (both part of CVW-1 embarked on the JFK), so they are a natural complement. Finally, the VA-27 Royal Maces were added to represent a west coast squadron (prior to VFA-27's move to Japan). These markings are from 1986. The skins can be found here: VA-27 Royal Maces VA-46 Clansmen VA-72 Blue Hawks Enjoy, and Fly Navy! -Home Fries My DCS Files and Skins My DCS TARGET Profile for Cougar or Warthog and MFDs F-14B LANTIRN Guide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Home Fries Posted October 12, 2016 Author Share Posted October 12, 2016 The VA-97 Warhawks skin pack has been released. These organizational markings are ca. 1986 when the Warhawks were on cruise with VA-27 on the Carl Vinson. -Home Fries My DCS Files and Skins My DCS TARGET Profile for Cougar or Warthog and MFDs F-14B LANTIRN Guide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This version updates the installer to allow for traditional installs (e.g. textures in livery folders). Thanks a lot for this .. in the past I had refrained from using your skins because I didnt fully understood how and where the skins installed. With the new installer today I tried it and was a relief to have this option to save the liveries in the traditional way.

Home Fries Posted March 4, 2017 Author Share Posted March 4, 2017 US Navy Attack Squadrons by Home Fries Thanks a lot for this .. in the past I had refrained from using your skins because I didnt fully understood how and where the skins installed. With the new installer today I tried it and was a relief to have this option to save the liveries in the traditional way. Thanks a lot for sharing :) Thanks for the feedback. Great to know the feature is appreciated. I have an even newer version of the installer that lets you create a JSGME compatible mod. I'll be applying this to all of my skins. 1 -Home Fries My DCS Files and Skins My DCS TARGET Profile for Cougar or Warthog and MFDs F-14B LANTIRN Guide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Home Fries Posted March 4, 2017 Author Share Posted March 4, 2017 (edited) These look great! Thanks for your work :) :thumbup: FWIW, I have the VA-52 Knightriders and VA-75 Sunday Punchers ready to go with the Viggen as soon as the template is released. These were A-6 squadrons in the same air wings as VA-27/VA-97 and VA-46/72 respectively. Here's the VA-75 CAG bird, pre-template.

Home Fries Posted March 21, 2017 Author Share Posted March 21, 2017 All Su-25T skins have been updated to 1.01. In addition to a new installer that allows for a remote or JSGME installation, there are texture improvements. Finally, the USAF Adversaries were added as a selectable nation. -Home Fries My DCS Files and Skins My DCS TARGET Profile for Cougar or Warthog and MFDs F-14B LANTIRN Guide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudel_chw Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Finally, the USAF Adversaries were added as a selectable nation. Good to know, because when I select USA as country, the mission editor doesnt allow me to place Su-25Ts on the map :( ... it seems that I would have to edit the countries_db.lua file to allow for this.

Home Fries Posted March 21, 2017 Author Share Posted March 21, 2017 I actually did tweak my countries_db file to allow it. I'll re-release my countries mod once 2.5 is out and we have some stability in that file. -Home Fries My DCS Files and Skins My DCS TARGET Profile for Cougar or Warthog and MFDs F-14B LANTIRN Guide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Home Fries Posted November 4, 2018 Author Share Posted November 4, 2018 hi this didn't seem to work for me can you give me any advise please thanks Hi chaser, In order to properly troubleshoot your issue, I need a lot more information. Which install variant did you choose (e.g. compact, full, JSGME)? Did the issue happen with the installer or with the skins not displaying in-game? Do you use the English version of DCS, or do you use another language? Do you use an English or international version of Windows? What troubleshooting steps did you take to determine that the skins didn't work? Best, HF -Home Fries My DCS Files and Skins My DCS TARGET Profile for Cougar or Warthog and MFDs F-14B LANTIRN Guide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
