Double Dutch Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Does anyone know if there is a Dutch skin available for the F/A-18? ----- Don't practise till you got it right. Practise till you don't do it wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kivech Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 The only one I'm aware of is this one: RNLAF Solo Demo Team - Fictional FA-18C Hornet You could try requesting one in the F/A-18C forums if you are looking for something specific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double Dutch Posted May 6, 2021 Author Share Posted May 6, 2021 Thanks! Very orange this layout, cool for training though! ----- Don't practise till you got it right. Practise till you don't do it wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double Dutch Posted May 13, 2021 Author Share Posted May 13, 2021 How much time does it take to make one? Would an enthusiastic student be willing to make 1 for me for a reasonable fee? ----- Don't practise till you got it right.

Do you have a picture of what you want The Dutch Don't have a FA-18C, the most logical thing would be to copy the Dutch F-16 skin, see the link for some pictures (https://www.defensie.nl/onderwerpen/materieel/vliegtuigen-en-helikopters/f-16). I find that this layout the little red-white-blue (dutch flag) circle, which I find looks cool. Or create a skin on based on the Dutch F-35, https://www.defensie.nl/onderwerpen/materieel/vliegtuigen-en-helikopters/f-35-gevechtsvliegtuig, where I noticed the the red-white-blue circle has become 3 shades of grey. https://www.aviatorgear.com/p-28586-rnlaf-lightning-driver-patch.aspx Edited May 13, 2021 by Double Dutch ----- Don't practise till you got it right.

Hoirtel Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Best thing to do would be find a skin that has this two tone grey, I would think that would be easy, Then modify it to add your own roundels and markings. Have you any experience with photoshop or open source versions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am 56 years old, I have a tiny bit of photoshop experience but I removed the program long ago (never really used it). If there is a manual online on how to do it, that would help. You say finding a skin that has 2 tone grey is easy, I would not know where to start yet. I have just purchased DCS and am still waiting for my Hotas to arrive (in 1-2 weeks time).

Just preparing to make this as cool as possible Oh right, sorry. Have a look through the user files on the website. This is where all the community skins come from you may well find something that already does what you want. If you find something that comes close and just needs a bit of tweaking. I'm sure someone will do it, I will. I'm no expert skinner but I do have PS experience and have modified some of my favourite skins to add my own name and/or markings. I only have limited time so prefer flying to skinning! The user files are great but lack some keyword searching. You can also try just a google search and look for the links to the DCS user files. You can also ask in the skinning forums too. Edited May 13, 2021 by Hoirtel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works exactly like skins, create a folder in your users directory where you also make the plane's folders. Looks awesome, much cleaner view!! ----- Don't practise till you got it right.

MrDieing Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 As I fellow Dutchie I would like to inform you that it is illegal to put a Dutch skin on a Hornet because its the ugliest thing ever 1 ''Greed is a bottomless pit which exhausts the person in an endless effort to satisfy the need without ever reaching satisfaction.''
