CHSubZero Posted January 26, 2023 Author Share Posted January 26, 2023 Before doing more skins I have a common question regarding colors. Right now I'm using the colors I found on Wikipedia. According to a decal sheet they used RAL colors which does make more sense. The following image shows the current colors on the left and the RAL colors (9005 Jet Black, 3000 Flame Red, 1007 Daffodil yellow). Can someone confirm that the RAL colors are more realistic than the current colors used? 1 My Mods: DCS User Files Modules owned: EVERY Module :pilotfly: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarloVecchi Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 The right one is realistic, same for the yellow of the Hartmann tulip and the yellow stripe on BB-387 & red stripe on BB-277. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volator Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Hmm, hard to tell. Looking at several aircraft pictures, I'd say left is maybe a little bit too bright, whereas right is quite (too much?) subdued? This may also be a weathering/fading issue when it comes to skins. 1 1./JG71 "Richthofen" - Seven Eleven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The BB-stripes as well as the Hartman tulip colors are using the same as the fin flag. Found somewhere a discussion and there was a consensus that it‘s the same color. In my opinion the yellow is too bright as well that‘s why I‘m searching resources and opinions 1 My Mods: DCS User Files Modules owned: EVERY Module :pilotfly: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHSubZero Posted January 26, 2023 Author Share Posted January 26, 2023 (edited) In the meantime I found a better source of RAL colors used on the German Flag. I'll change now the color scheme from the bright one used now (left in the picture below) to the in my eye more realistic one (right side in the picture below).

Far right looks good (certainly the best of the three) to my eye. 1 "Muß ich denn jedes Mal, wenn ich sauge oder saugblase den Schlauchstecker in die Schlauchnut schieben?"

CHSubZero Posted January 27, 2023 Author Share Posted January 27, 2023 Subtle color change of Black, Red and Yellow. Better or should I reduce the brightness more? My Mods: DCS User Files Modules owned: EVERY Module :pilotfly: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volator Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Maybe just a tiny bit more? IDK, I already love these skins the way they are, but it's hard to tell the difference between old and new. 1./JG71 "Richthofen" - Seven Eleven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHSubZero Posted January 27, 2023 Author Share Posted January 27, 2023 Thanks for your kind words. I thought before doing more skins I fix the color scheme first My Mods: DCS User Files Modules owned: EVERY Module :pilotfly: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHSubZero Posted January 29, 2023 Author Share Posted January 29, 2023 I started the work on the first camo Sabre of the skin pack. At the end, it will be JC-105 of I / JG73. I also have plans to do JG72 (Vikings and Foxes) 1 My Mods: DCS User Files Modules owned: EVERY Module :pilotfly: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
