Rasmus Højgaard Posted February 15, 2022 Posted February 15, 2022 I’ve played dcs for quite some time now. But something i’ve always wondered about is why the hornet’s skin and interior is so rusty and scratched up. i understand from an artistic standpoint that you want to make it believeable and get the impression the jet has been used. But why not give us an oportunity to select if we want a “from factory” design or a “beat up” like in the A10II The hornet is one of my favourite planes in DCS, But the viper for me has hit a sweetspot in terms of the balance betweeen Busted and factory. There’s something about the interior/exterior of the Hornets skin i cant get my head around.
fagulha Posted February 15, 2022 Posted February 15, 2022 Personally i use a couple of Hornet cockpit liveries including a clean one (ED gave us option to choose cockpits in DCS Special Options tab), and same with Hornet aircraft liveries (i have both weathered and clean), despite that I agree with you we could have a option to select weathered/clean. 1 About carrier ops: "The younger pilots are still quite capable of holding their heads forward against the forces. The older ones have been doing this too long and know better; sore necks make for poor sleep.'

BuzzU Posted February 15, 2022 Posted February 15, 2022 I'd like a cleaner looking Hornet too. Somebody had it when it was new. Might as well be me. 1 Buzz
Rasmus Højgaard Posted February 15, 2022 Author Posted February 15, 2022 Yup, but can you use the cockpit Liveries in multiplayer? Because then i would love to try that out
Tholozor Posted February 15, 2022 Posted February 15, 2022 (edited) You can always use cockpit liveries in multiplayer, as it only affects the client. I use a custom one that I made for myself that adjusts the tint of the HUD glass and AoA indexer lights.

That salt water does a REAL number on the airframes. 1 i7 8700K @ Stock - Win10 64 - 32 RAM - RTX 3080 12gb OC - 55 inch 4k Display
Rasmus Højgaard Posted February 15, 2022 Author Posted February 15, 2022 (edited) Yeah i know salt is corrosive and so on. And the hi vis skins also look quite a lot better. But it’s just the rust at the vents over the engines im not a fan of. where can i get custom cockpit skins? Edited February 15, 2022 by Rasmus Højgaard

Right now the default Hornet liveries are kind of like when someone is making a plastic model and they go overboard with the weathering effects. 1
Dragon1-1 Posted February 18, 2022 Posted February 18, 2022 Hi-vis skins look better because they usually represent the CAG's bird, which sits in the hangar most of the time, while the other pilots do the actual flying.
Rasmus Højgaard Posted February 18, 2022 Author Posted February 18, 2022 Yeaaa it’s sad they cant personalize the jets they are actually flying more.
BuzzU Posted February 18, 2022 Posted February 18, 2022 I didn't pay $80 for a rusty plane. I should have an option for a clean Hornet like the cockpit in the Hog. Buzz

It definitely shines it up a lot - thanks
