Created a battle-scarred surface for backup. I'm still thinking about the theme, I feel that everyone has already done all the Apache camouflage, so anxious ,It's my first time to participate in the creative competition, everyone is amazing .

 

Don't forget the alpha channels on the Bottom1/2 and Balka1 files, otherwise the screen meshes come out opaque.

This looks amazing, the wear looks good, and those roughmets too. custom normals aswell if im not mistaken? honestly top quality, how much time did all that alignment take you?

[Esac_mirmidon]

I just discovered in Modelviewer that there already is a skin kinda similar to mine in the Game. I am about 70% done already.

 

Yikes.

[Yeager51]

Thank you, it took about a month. I started working on the AH-64D when it was first released, and there were no templates at that time.

You can now declare yourself one of the winners. This skin is a work of art.

I have a question for you @BIGNEWY:

With the unavoidable increase in size of liveries for DCS from now in to the future, is there a plan to increase the file size limit to the User Files section? I think a lot of us have started to resort to offsite hosting now because its near impossible to get a full AH-64 livery under 300mb. By a full livery obviously I mean anything with custom roughmets, pilots, and a normal map here and there.

I don't think the limit will be lifted, we have to consider our storage space and the potential for liveries that are included in the DCS install taking up space also.

Good job! It looks so real that it explain by itself why Army copters use darker colors

Some great entries so far. Admittedly I'm a bit surprised that no one has put out a UK Livery.

Thank you very much for your support, I am using this template I made, and I am going to make 3-4 AH-64D livery, currently working on the Japanese version, do you have any paints you want to see, can you tell me, I am very happy willing to make。

I was going to make one, but frankly they are quite boring and look like the default skin. If you find me a good reference picture with something unique I'll be more than happy to make one!

[BIGNEWY]

thanks for the submissions, looking forward to seeing more
