Mosquito FB.VI Generic skin with full invasion stripes and variable bort numbers. You can edit the letters in the mission editor. Custom roughmets, accurate colors and markings. This should be useful on the Normandy map.

Mosquito FB.VI 487 Sqn RNZAF flown by Group Captain Percy Charles Picard EG-F, who was killed in action near Amiens during Operation Jericho, when a FW-190 hit his aircraft and the tail section broke off. Custom roughmets, accurate colors and markings.

Just the mission editor? Or can you also do it in the rearming window? If not, I’d like to know how you did that, it’d be useful.

Yes, in the rearming window too.

I started working on it before I saw yours, sorry. I'm not gonna delete the skin just because someone else has already made a version of it. Nobody has exclusive rights.  BTW I see a 3rd one having been uploaded to the user files

Hi all, 

thank you for the entries so far. 

Just to clear some things up, multiple entries are allowed, we also know there are limited options here with liveries so we are expecting some cross over between user entries. 

thank you

 

[OLD CROW]

I understand your point, also I was the only who answered you yesterday when you did the question of multiple entries, but in the good name of the fair play. Would you accept happily if someone tried to duplicate your campaigns? 

The third entries you've seen in the user files are mines, just go to my updated original post and click on the download links, I haven't updated earliier cause I was waiting the links to be actived in the user files web.

It's nothing like "duplicating a campaign". And if someone made a campaign about the same historical events, which is fair game, I don't have the copyrights, I'd be happy to play them without knowing where the triggers are

when I saw your post I was almost done and I had the same reaction "Oh no, come ooon"  - as I had already invested a fair amount of work. But it's not like we can call 'dibs', is it? Or 'first come first served'..

I don't see a problem with having 2 versions, these are free skins, everyone can decide for themselves which one they want to use. So what's the harm?

[OLD CROW]

Agree with the concept of having multiple skins.... no problem on that in the user files, but in a contest? really? and you being a third party who almost got the ED exclusive in WW2 campaigns? 

This "everyone can decide for themselves" are the same you can almost call them "working collegues"... and they're going to be who decide who wins and looses. And the fact Bignewy just has came across right now and not 24 hours ago to "clarify" the multi entry for one user right after your post sounds weird even a bit biased.

Oh come on…I’m a 3rd party campaign maker. Not an ED skin maker. And I don’t have any exlusive rights for ww2 campaigns, I wish there were more people making more of them. 
 

but hey, if it really bothers you, I’ll offer to give you the Mossie in case I my version is selected and yours isn’t. But don’t play the ‘biased’ card please.

I'm not playing any card. Also I'll STRONGLY reject any present coming from you related with this contest. So don't play the card of "generous" in case of... I haven't presented my work to generate grief or sorrow just to get the price by those bad arts. The only who is playing the "fake" fair player offended it's you. 

[Reflected]

I’m not offended the least bit, I didn’t start all this

It’s not biased at all. It was also the case for the Apache competition, where I (on my old account) and somebody else both did a set of South Carolina National Guard liveries. And if anything, that inspired me to do an even better job, idk that I would’ve been one of the winners without the DIRECT competition driving me forwards.

@Reflected

Wow awesome skins, thank you very much especially for the 2nd TAF variant with invasion stripes as used in Normandy, that one is perfect for the server 

Now one with half invasion stripes for July-August would be fantastic

Thank you, you made it! You are a hero. Few people know that Mosquito once served in the People's Liberation Army.

I also wish someone could make a Chinese Nationalist Air Force livery because both of them are very special in history.

i think i will make one

We got to have one all-black paint scheme. Nothing says “mobster” better than an all black ride with guns sticking out the front.

Here's one:

I like 

Why are the letters on the sides of the roundel reveresed?

edit:

Seems like DCS is correct and the reference drawing is wrong.

Correct, making them dynamic I was unable to set it exactly like how the reference pic so I did what I could as a compromise. A lot of WWII Mosquito photos has them like this also so I figured it shouldn't be too much an issue.

Isn't this the same one that I posted above? 

It was created by a user called @MateusOV. Is that you, @DragonSoulkin?

It's the same squadron, but not the exact same skin, as you'd be able to see if you clicked on the link she provided. There's only so many ways you can make a plain black Mosquito without getting into the nitty gritty stuff.

Brief update, they are now available for download in the user files. 
There are four variants in total, two from Squadron 45 and two from 105.
