Generic OPFOR livery pack for all flyables

[FIN_Centurion1]

Hey

I had the idea to make a thematically consistent serie of liveries for all the flyables, since a lot of squadrons use a mish-mash of plane types to fly with and against, and it looks a bit jarring to have USMC Harriers next to SweAF Viggens next to Serbian Mig-21s. Obviously those who only fly a certain air force are more or less set in the livery department, but I thought it would be cool to have a generic set to use in MP.

 

I started by googling some inspiration, and one of the earliest ones I enjoyed was the Tropical MiG-21 camo. So I set out to adapt that to the Viggen. Once the camo is down it is easy to create variations.

 

I think they will be without markings other than numbers, but any input on that would be welcome.

Tell me what you think, waste of time? And what kind of color combos do you like?

No interest so far I see :) Good that I enjoy this. Started on the Mirage 2000 now, I think the Tropical camo is a good fit for it :)

 

EDIT: The imgur album is updated with more shots

Very nicely done! I agree, if one is operating "a squadron", there should be a uniform livery within that squadron to show friendlies. Hostiles should be a different pattern, although one could say, "If they're not dressed like us, they aren't us!"

 

BTW, do you have a link to a decent tutorial on using GIMP? (I am looking, but I'll take any suggestions)

Thanks mate, yeah I suspect this is a non-issue for the pilots, but it would make the AAR videos nicer to watch afterwards if the sides were more distinct.

 

I use photoshop myself so I can't help you with GIMP, sorry. Swear I saw something when googling earlier though, i suppose you have tried "DCS skin tutorial" already? :)

Wow, I like those!

That Arid Viggen would look awesome for Iran!

 

Are you planning to release these?
