That´s right Eric, but the camo colors are not really matching the original ones.

Urbi Posted May 24 Posted May 24 Hello Carlo, hello Eric! If you didn't live in the former GDR, you shouldn't presume to decide which colors the former GDR used for the L-39 as a training aircraft for future pilots. The liveries selected by ED as a basis for the GDR are correct and accurately reflect how it looked at the time. Eric can certainly label these as fictitious. Everything else is just historical embellishment and untrue. Windows 11 Enterprise 64-bit processor AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3970X 32-core processor 3.90 GHz, installed memory 256 GB (256 GB usable), system type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor 2 x NVIDIA RTX TITAN SLI 48 GB vRAM, 3x 2 TB M2 NVMe WDS200T3XHC Raid, 2x 4 TB M2 NVMe Force MP510 Raid, ERM - 3K3U water cooling, gaming motherboard ROG ZENITH II EXTREME ALPHA Monitor 108 cm ACER PREDATOR CG437K 7680x4320-120Hz, power supply 2000 watts
EricJ Posted May 24 Author Posted May 24 (edited) Which may be right, but modeling sites say the opposite of what DCS did for their liveries. I mean we can argue all you want, but I think we're not making any embellishment when we can turn to those sites for accurate colors. I mean it may be a specific scheme that they didn't use, but this photo doesn't look anything close to what was done for the module: https://www.airhistory.net/photo/488558/N339DM/NX339DM I mean there's this from this page: https://www.super-hobby.sk/products/L-39-Albatross.html I looked up Ochre and it's nowhere near the colors either, whereas I saw on Google that it was like a two-tone grey. So I don't know how they're correct for the module when we have different schemes. Maybe they had multiple schemes for their aircraft and we are all right, or wrong, but I'm not seeing the colors for the module skins being correct for what's on modeling sites.

NRG-Vampire Posted May 24 Posted May 24 (edited) I think that aircraft https://www.airhistory.net/marks-all/N339DM got a fresh (a bit over-saturated greenish) paint. However most of the paintcolors used as below (the aircraft needs 2-2 insignias on both (upper and lower) side of the wings) https://www.czech-jet.com/de/ein-jetflug-mit-der-l-39# Edited May 24 by NRG-Vampire
EricJ Posted May 24 Author Posted May 24 Interesting, most modeling sites show what isn't there. People are saying the DCS colors are wrong, while it could be how it renders the colors too. So looks like I may be wrong. Homepage | Discord | My Files | YouTube 'Nearly everyone felt the need to express their views on all wars to me, starting with mine.

EricJ Posted May 24 Author Posted May 24 I must have hit the mark because nobody else is saying anything. I'll give it some more time and see if people say anything more. If not, I'll upload it (I deleted the original skin so I can redo this one correctly) and so on.

EricJ Posted May 25 Author Posted May 25 (edited) A Venezuelan Aggressor scheme. I think this is the last of the L-39s that I've done previously, so more or less I'll be making some future new ones and such: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3344971/ Edited May 26 by EricJ Homepage | Discord | My Files | YouTube 'Nearly everyone felt the need to express their views on all wars to me, starting with mine.
