reported Default Spitfire Roundel Colours & Dimensions

[DD_Fenrir]

1. Are incorrect tone and hue. The tone is too light in the blue and there is too much pink, giving the blue a near indigo/purple hue. The red I feel is closer but would be easier to interpret if contrasted against the correct blue.

DCS default Spitfire scheme:

2. As has been repeatedly requested, could you PLEASE correct the proportions of the roundels to better reflect the WW2 standard (I know MH434 was referenced during the research for this model, but her roundel proportions are plain WRONG) and to better represent a WW2 airframe.

I believe the roundels and colours are copied from MH434. Everyone knows the markings are wrong but unless ED chooses another reference aircraft, such as MH415...

If we could define locked-down custom liveries in multiplayer servers I'd have all the 4YA WW2 Spitfires using these liveries. Much better colours all round than the defaults. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3318202/

Reflected's are better, IMO. Those liveries have some oil streaks in nonsensical places.

Personally I would recommend Jocko's Spitfire skins:

 

Seen in the DCS New WWII Propeller Technology video: here

Reflected's skins are great but there's just some combination of colour and tone that to me feels a bit more so with Jocko's skins. In addition he has edited out a number of errors in the panel lines to make his skins as authentic to a wartime Spitfire as a DCS skin gets.

His generic skins also include revised fonts and colours for the squadron code and serial letters & numbers to make them look a great deal more authentic.

His skins are all available on the ED User files, here:

The exhaust staining is exquisite. I wish he did a generic half-invasion stripe bird with dynamic numbers.

Thanks I will ask the team about this as well.

Thanks NL, it would be appreciated.
