jocko417 Posted March 10, 2011 Posted March 10, 2011 (edited) Here's a fictional CAF paint scheme for the A-10C, featuring tail art for No. 410 "Cougar" Squadron. Based on one of the two-tone Low Vis schemes used by the CF-18 over the years, this skin uses Canadian camo colours and marking styles. Working on a couple of things still, like the aircraft serial numbers. The CAF display the last three digits of the serial number on the opposite wing to the nationality marking. I don't think I can do this in DCS:A-10C, so I'll have to use just tail numbers (and maybe the last three on the nose). Also planning to "Canuckify" some of the stencilling to look more authentic, the CAF use a lot international symbology (probably due to bilingualism) rather than text based stencils, a good example is the use of a boot print with an X through it rather than the english "NO STEP".

jocko417 Posted March 10, 2011 Author Posted March 10, 2011 Ok, anybody know where THIS part of the false canopy is? I've changed the colour to the CAF version used by the Hornet false canopy, but I can't find the last bit of texture on any of the templates... HELP!
jocko417 Posted March 10, 2011 Author Posted March 10, 2011 Fixed the false canopy problem, that bit is on template "c". Tried reversing the tail section colours:

jocko417 Posted March 11, 2011 Author Posted March 11, 2011 (edited) Ok, this one is basically done, until I figure out how to get the serial generator to work here it is with a static serial. Canadian Forces aircraft use a 6 digit serial number, the first three are type specific and the last three are individual aircraft specific. Sometimes the first three are a bastardized version of the original type number, ie. "104" for the Starfighter, "188" for the Hornet, "177" for the C-17, etc.. This posed a problem for the A-10, as "100" and "110" were already used by other types so I went with a (so far) unused type number - 159. For the last three I chose 410, as it's a 410 squadron skin. The font used for the numbering is authentic. Going to reskin the pilot figure in a Canadian OD Green suit. Edited March 11, 2011 by jocko417
