RedTiger Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 I'm looking for a Su-27 skin that is similar to the paint scheme on the Su-27 loading screen. I've looked all over and place at the available ones. They either have grey instead of white, or they have blues that looked too washed out. Basically, I'm looking for something like these (courtesy of the Sim-Mod forum): http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb174/grandsurf/Blackshark/15.jpg http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb174/grandsurf/Blackshark/13.jpg If ANYONE has a skin like this, I'd be very grateful if you'd share it.
SuperKungFu Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 So are you just talking about the basic regular color scheme of the Su-27? And nothing on lockonfiles was what you were looking for? You can also check out this website, sure its in Japanese but as long as the "download here" is in English, it doesn't really matter. But it has some basic hi-resolution skins of the Su-27 that might be what you were looking for. http://f17.aaa.livedoor.jp/~aonei/FS%20texture%20LOMAC%20Flanker/fstexture_lomacFlanker.htm [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Yes, I am talking about a basic Su-27 color scheme. No, unfortunately non of the skins on Lockonfiles were what I was looking fore. Like I said, they either have grey on them where the white should be or, more commonly, the blues are very washed out. This is really common and I'm not sure why. The colors on most skins are pastel, not solid blue. My hat's off to the detail they put in those skins, but the colors are strange. I have a pack that replaces all the default skins with hi res ones. Even the Mirogorad scheme in that particular pack, which should be very vibrant almost "electric" blue, is more like a pastel muted blue. I use a separate skin for that one.
RedTiger Posted March 31, 2008 Author Posted March 31, 2008 Here's a thread with some photos from the military and aviation discussion forum. Pay particular attention to the first one: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=29045 No white in that scheme other than the bits on the tail, but the color blue it has is what I'm looking for. TBH, some of the default schemes in LOMAC are excellent in terms of coloration, they just fall short since they're low res.
RedTiger Posted April 1, 2008 Author Posted April 1, 2008 Thanks for the link SuperKungFu. I took a look at the first 2 skins. I think I was seeing things when it came to the white coloration. The second skin has the authentic shade of blue I was looking for!
Vekkinho Posted April 1, 2008 Posted April 1, 2008 #06 from Lipetsk was freshly painted in August '07. No grey patches just Blue / Blue. These color schemes are introduced / adopted in 2005 as a SK standard, so planes from LO default to 1980s and early 90s. BTW check my avatar pic, is that the blue you're looking for?!

Vekkinho Posted April 1, 2008 Posted April 1, 2008 ...or try this one by Aquarius Varun: http://www.lockonfiles.com/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=getit&lid=134#dl [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
RedTiger Posted April 2, 2008 Author Posted April 2, 2008 Thanks for the suggestion Vekkinho. I've used that one before but eventually stopped because I wanted one that was x2048. And yes, the blue in your avatar is what I'm looking for. If I had an ounce of skinning skill, I'd do some research and make a skin resembling #06!
Stratos Posted April 3, 2008 Posted April 3, 2008 I'm searching for this one: If someone know If is available somewhere please post a link or send to capitanstratos at yahoo dot es Thank's!! I don't understand anything in russian except Davai Davai!
Stratos Posted April 13, 2008 Posted April 13, 2008 No one please? Maybe someone can create the skin? I don't understand anything in russian except Davai Davai!
SuperKungFu Posted April 13, 2008 Posted April 13, 2008 Is there something significantly different about this skin that hasn't been done before? Because it looks very similar to a lot of the skins found on Lockonfiles. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Stratos Posted April 14, 2008 Posted April 14, 2008 It looks more generic thatn the skins avilable on lockonfiles and really like it, can you please create it? You did some amazing skins in the past I don't understand anything in russian except Davai Davai!
Stratos Posted April 15, 2008 Posted April 15, 2008 SuperKungFu this is an official skin request, can you please create this one for me? I don't understand anything in russian except Davai Davai!
SuperKungFu Posted April 16, 2008 Posted April 16, 2008 I'm sorry but I never made any skins in the past so I don't have the skills to create it. But what i recommend is to look through the skins in this skin pack http://www.lockonfiles.com/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownloaddetails&cid=74&lid=1105&ttitle=Su-27_Flanker_Skin_Pack_v2#dldetails i think at least one of them is what you are looking for. 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
