DCS: AH-64D Livery Competition


BIGNEWY

Recommended Posts

One Question about the EXACT Requirements:
Are we allowed to "mix" the best Parts of 2 existing Skins?

i.e., Chopper Nr. 8 in one Group has a nice Font on it while Chopper Nr. 14 has a nicer Emblem/Symbol or whatever on it. Can we Take chopper Nr. 14 as "base" but add the Nice written stuff/font from Chopper Nr. 8?

Or can we, if the same Chopper with the Same Serial Nr. had multiple Different Paint-Jobs over Time, mix different Elements of those Different Paintjobs?

 

Also, is there a Limit of how many entries we are allowed to make? I mean, there's time til' End of May, right?

 

Happy Easter everyone(besides the ones who celebrate it next week or not at all^^)!

Oh, and also ( @BIGNEWY ), is there any Font Provided by you Guys? I am having a Hard time making a C at the Serial No. below the Canopy with Photoshop's Pen Tool, that would make it a lot easier (this is my first real DCS Livery, only have experience with some other game's liveries)

In 1995 Sweden did an evaluation for a new attack helicopter to replace the Hkp 9A (Bo-105-CB3) and tested the AH-64A and Mi-28, eventually not deciding on either one but instead cutting down on the military in 2001.. But what if?

Here's two examples of the AH-64D in Swedish woodland and desert camo along with Swedish pilots in appropriate clothes and gear.
Every single rivet and tiniest edge has been painted individually...

Now I realize you apparently wanted the diffuse in DTX3 but I've always used DTX1 if I can as it's smaller and as I've tweaked the roughmet as well I needed all of it I could to fit inside the 300mb upload limit... Easy fix to change that around if you want though! (but the file size would be larger)

I know some are confused about the criteria, the first post tells you what we are looking for, but we do not want to stifle anybody's creativity, so if you feel you have a good livery please add it here for consideration. As mentioned we will be favouring the more realistic liveries as they give more options for mission designers who want to bring realism into missions. 

thanks and good luck.

These skins are based on AH-64s operated by the UAE Armed Forces. The UAE purchased 30 AH-64As in the early 1990s and upgraded them to AH-64Ds in the mid-2000s. The aircraft wear unique markings on the tail but overall the scheme is similar to that of the US Army. The design on the tail is two crossed swords and the seal of the UAE Armed Forces. 

As a bonus I also made a fictional Khaki-painted Apache if you want something a little different.
