(Fictional/novlety) Yak-52: Biohazard-red, from Resident Evil Afterlife (2010)

northknife · July 3, 2020

Skin based on the Yak-52 seen in Resident Evil Afterlife (2010).

I love watching trashy action movies from the aughts, so I was pleasantly surprised when I saw a beautiful Yak-52 in a Resident Evil movie and knew I had to recreate it in DCS.

This is my first skin, so to say that I'm a bit lost would be an understatement. I did give it a shot so if you want to land on a rooftop, you can now do it in style! But sadly without the arrestor wire and unbreakable prop (on second thought, the DCS yak doesn't really have a damage model so you might be good?).

I probably made plenty of rookie mistakes in the process, so any thoughts or critiques would be appreciated.

There is also a slightly awkward interview with the owner of the real plane on youtube:

As a fan of the old RE games I can't say I would recommend the movie though, it was barely coherent. But in the end, it might have been worth it for the Yak.

Known issues:

The mechanical gear indicator has no texture. If you know where in the template it is, I would love to hear from you.

The lightning bolt is the wrong colour and slightly misplaced.
