Skin thread

Personally, South East Asia region is a bit under represented. Infact, i think the only SEA skin in DCS is the Indonesia Apache.

 

Would be great if they include Malaysia and Myanmar skin in the Mig-29

Myanmar

Malaysia

For sure ED will limit the livery to the operator they are going to simulate and will relay on community to create additional ones. For sure there will be a livery contest and winning ones will be included in the product. Just need that livery template to be released and Fulcrum will get them all in no time!

That has not stopped them in the past. We have Russian, British, French, Ukrainian, Spanish, other A-10s. Same with the F/A-18, as well.

ED said few times that they prefer the community to take care of additional skins due to the cost. If the skin one created is suitable for the module at a quality required, one can approach ED and donate their work and it will be included in the module or asset (AI). It happened in the past on multiple occasions. There is also very strong user files section on the main website.

Still, I wouldn't be surprised if some operators who use later variants get represented on the A.

Fortunately we can have any country with any livery, but yeah it would be a nice to have to be able to select at least all VVS ones as well as all -A users (Warsaw Pact): Bulgaria, Chechoslovakia, East Germany, Hungary, Poland, Romania - accurate to the time period but also a modern ones from the day one. As for the other operators, let's say 9.12B (export version outside of Warsaw Pact) sure, but for other variants like 9.13 etc users I believe ED would not invest their resources.

One thing I find quite annoying is when the countries which are present on the maps are missing liveries. In case of the MiG-29 those would be Russia, Iran, Iraq and Syria. Technically also the US I suppose. Of course it's great if other countries get their liveries, I will be heartbroken if Poland and Ukraine don't, but it's really annoying to have the right country, right airbase, right aircraft but wrong livery.

There are great skins for IRIAF, SyAAF, YARAF, IrAF in user files, having said that I also feel the same way

At the minimum I hope the 3D model gets final geometry by the EA realese and we will get the template.

Absolutely! Although the WZL folks call the livery Pigeons

This one taken during the road strip exercise Route 604 last September.

East German AF skin is a must (I think this is a photo taken by MiGCAP, hope he doesn't mind me using it here, his great photos are all over the net)

This livery is quite well documented, might happen quite fast once the template is released.

Welcome to the crowd.

German 29+20 that you posted @JetFighterGirl is the one here in these photos, the sources say that it is one of the jets transferred to Ukrainian Air Force by Poles.

It may look very basic but nevertheless its an excellent source of data about our beloved Fulcrum.

Colours of the MiG-29. Mikoyan & Gurevich MiG-29 camouflage and painting schemes. European countries, Russia, Asia. MiG-29, MiG-29UB, MiG-29SMT, MiG-29K/KUB, MiG-35 (mariwoj.pl)

Actually, I prefer photo references, as their color accuracy is usually better than drawings, for example:

 

MiG-29S from Peru

 

 

 

 

 

 

 looking forward to flying this bird soon. Cheers!

Problem is Ukraine's digital camo is 9.13 not 9.12

Both Poland and Ukraine use 9.12 so no problem at all to represent them in DCS.
