jocko417 Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 (edited) It was suggested I make a pilot to go with my skins so here is a WIP Canadian pilot skin for DCS:A-10C, I changed a bunch of stuff to more accurately represent the Canadian OD Green flight suit colour (you can see the difference when looking at the knees and arms compared to the G-suit/vest), larger arm pocket with pen holders, brown flying gloves (I have a pair! :thumbsup:) and appropriate patches. Using the internet and GIMP I created some LVG patches, including a fake Canadian A-10C shoulder patch. This plus GIMP's colourize feature equals this and a lot of cut and paste equals this These patches plus an OD Canada Flag equals this Looks like I have to trim the velcro under the flag a bit. Was having so much fun I thought you'd all like to see a demotivational poster I made with a shot of my dog... who didn't want to smile on picture day. :-P Now the only problem is the pilot in the aircraft is a different model/skin than the one who walks around after ejecting... I'm still looking for that guy :) ...Oh, and there is only one pilot bitmap so once you go Canuck you never go back ;) Maybe ED could make it that we could choose pilot skins on the loadout page like we choose aircraft skins? <HINT> Stay Tuned...

Nikeleye Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Brilliant work, like the colourizing that you did to make the patch OD. Maybe ED could make it that we could choose pilot skins on the loadout page like we choose aircraft skins? <HINT> Now wouldn't that be something! A lot of the immersion of this sim is the multiplayer experience with squadron wingmen, each having different flashes on the uniform and individually painted up helmets would be very, very sweet.

I started a thread in the wish list forum, maybe we can spread the word. Reply here: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=69694 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jocko417 Posted March 21, 2011 Author Share Posted March 21, 2011 Finally found the texture for the ejected pilot and gave him a Canadian make over: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorvald Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 LOL, we don't eject in Canada, we can't afford to! Not enough planes left... That being said, six are over seas for the No-Fly-Zone in Libya, should be some good CF combat camera footage on Canadian Army News ;-) System: Win10 Pro 64bit, Gigabyte Z370 AORUS Gaming 7 MB, Intel i& 8700K, Corsair H150i Pro Cooler, Corsair Vengeance LED DDR4 16GB, PNY NVidia 1070 GTX, Corsair MP500 & MP600 SSD, Soundblaster Audigy Rx, CM Mastercase H500P, Oculus Rift S, TM Warthogs.
