REQUEST Cheetah C skin

[VictorDavion]

Is anyone willing to do an Atlas Cheetah C skin? The existing one is ok but not remotely close to the actual SAAF Cheetah. Looking for an accurate correct skin made for the M2000.

I'll take a crack at it, do you have some more reference photos from above and below?

Sweet...here you go:

The VSN team were working on the Cheetah D & hopefully C variant as well. But has been over a year in development - according to this thread below. Hopefully still on the way? Mirage IIIE/5/50 Series (VSN Mod Team)

Would be awesome if someone was willing to work this

Hi,

I'm working on it as my first DCS Livery

I don't know anything about SAAF, if you have favorite roundels, serial number or logo I ca adapt.

Also, I cannot find the Cheetah logo online, do you have one somewhere ?

I would include the 5 point star roundel as well from some of the examples above. As far as the cheetah logo someone did the spotty version which has a similar one. Not sure what they used.

Hi,

i corrected things like :

• no step logos added
• serial number font
• curve of the grey losange
• labels now in English 

 

And it is online : https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/fr/files/3336411/

Hi RockMyRoot

A good effort. I had done some Cheetah C inspired liveries for the M2000 some years ago.

A few points to correct:

The South African insignia are always as follows: 

The Cheetahs wore 3 different versions of the SAAF insignia, Castle and Springbok, Castle and Eagle, and then the new 9 point star (Cookie cutter) and eagle. The Springboks/Eagles always face forward on the fuselage, and they always face inwards on the wings.

There were two different Cheetah C schemes that the aircraft were painted in:

An air-to-air scheme which the colors were not as distinct from each other as in the pic of Cheetah C 347. 

The air-to-ground scheme which the diamond was darker.

Good effort for your first livery, please keep up the good work!

Hi Fearsome-13,

I have a huge lack of SAAF knowledge, thank you for teaching me some tips

Corrections and additions are being made :

I'm about to upload the three liveries in one pack. I just need to find three matching S/N with the Castle Springbok - Castle Eagle - Cookie Eagle  

EDIT : Updated ! https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/fr/files/3336411/

 

Now working on patches, again i'm asking for your knowledge to be as accurate as possible. Maybe if you know some specific helmet, I can customize too :
