Sydy Posted June 14, 2020 Posted June 14, 2020 (edited) Hi guys! Here goes the 4th Jambock Livery: A bit of History: The First Brazilian Fighter Group was created in 1943. The training was performed by the Forward Echelon in Florida, then as a Group in P-40s in Aguadulce, Panama, and Sulfolk, New York, flying P-47s. It had a Squadron size. During the World War II , the Group was attached to the 350th Fighter Group in Italy as the 4th squadron (1944-1945). It was based initially in Tarquinia and later in Pisa. Due to low on replacements, the pilots extended the Tour of Duty until the war end. "Jambock" was the callsign used by the Brazilian Fighter Group during the war and still is in used today (flying F-5EM and F-5FM). "Jambock" name has an Indonesian/South African origin (sjanbok or Sambok) and means "animal skin or wood whip". It was a kind of whip. About this Livery: The livery is as historical as possible. Warrant Officer Raymundo da Costa Canario started flying on Yellow Flight as "Red 6" on A6, but after he collided with a chimney (flew with less 1.28m - 4ft - less of his right wing) he moved on to the Yellow flight and Flew 50 missions in combat finishing the war flying this aircraft, Silver "B3" P-47D-30-RA SN 44-33093, callsign "Yellow Three".

Remember to double check your HD drive letter and DCS destination folder. 2nd Option: Extract the 1st Brazilian Ftr Sq-Jambock B3-Canario folder to your C:Users"YourUserNameHere"Saved GamesDCS.openbetaLiveriesP-47D-30 folder If you don't have that folder, you may create it. Remember to double check your HD drive letter and Saved Games destination folder. I am just starting to make DCS Liveries, so be gentle and feedback is well accepted. Btw, there is a texture problem on the side insignias that I could not solve. The rearmost part of the lateral insignias are kind metallic. I think it will be solved with the future template.

Ercoupe Posted June 14, 2020 Posted June 14, 2020 What! Liveries are coming out!? Fantastic, I did't know that they had released the template.
Ercoupe Posted June 14, 2020 Posted June 14, 2020 Guess I jumped the gun. No template, yet. How'd ya do this without one?
Sydy Posted June 15, 2020 Author Posted June 15, 2020 Guess I jumped the gun. No template, yet. How'd ya do this without one? Magic!!! Lol No, got the USAF Standard files and worked on it until got a Brazilian Template, now is a matter of customized the Brazilian Jugs. I used GIMP. It was a hell of a work...
Ercoupe Posted June 15, 2020 Posted June 15, 2020 I'm impressed. They look good. Is there a way that you can move the cowlings of the two white P-47's, and put those cowlings on the USAF Standard?

Is there a way that you can move the cowlings of the two white P-47's, and put those cowlings on the USAF Standard? HI Ercoupe, Everything is possible, but it is a lot of hardwork... I’m gonna give you a very simple example that is almost unnoticeable. Get the B3 livery (my last one) and look and the B3 on the nose. Did you notice that the letters are on the cowl flaps? And it works on both sides? To make that I had to: - First discover where each cowl flap is in the file; - Cut and align the letter part on that cowl flap; - After that I had to make the same process for the dull texturing bellow and match not only the cowl flap position and the painting with the texturing... Hell of a work and a lot o patience... On the third on (A1) I didn’t do that (because I had no idea at that moment). Now I will redo the A1 with the same technique. I will release a 1.1 vs of the four skins today with minor adjustments and I will remake the “P-47 Daredevil campaign with these four skins” to be “brazilian style” All the best, Sydy
Ercoupe Posted June 15, 2020 Posted June 15, 2020 Syd, you have a whole lot more patience than I do. I understand. Sounds as though you're a perfectionist. That's good. I'm looking forward to seeing what you can do with the template. Thanks for the answer.

And I like this Squadron a lot because I met most of the WWII Veterans in it. Btw, Update 1.1 for all skins is just uploaded. This afternoon I am going to make a "P-47D Jambock Daredevil Campaign" with the customized skins for us. All the best, Sydy
Sydy Posted June 15, 2020 Author Posted June 15, 2020 Gents, update vs 1.1 is just up - Text typos and minor adjustment on the fuselage right insignia.
