nickmow Posted May 16, 2013 Posted May 16, 2013 (edited) Ok so now I got the hang of the skin thing, Im trying out a couple of ideas, Air Ambulance (see other post but really needs a slick). Being a Brit and ex Army I couldnt stand by and watch everyone else get a skin, so heres my WIP AAC Bell 212 skin, still needs some detail work but I'd appreciate some feedback (By rights it should have a Dayglo Orange engine cowl) and then I can figure out how to upload it :thumbup: Thanks Nick Edit: done and uploaded https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/37323180/AAC%20212A.rar Edited May 16, 2013 by nickmow 1

BeachAV8R Posted May 16, 2013 Posted May 16, 2013 Wow.. That is beautiful.. And you are a rookie at this? I think you are sand-bagging us...
nickmow Posted May 16, 2013 Author Posted May 16, 2013 I think Rookie is a stretch, Ive messed around on and off with skins for other things but never seriously. To be honest once you have the template and figure out layers....that was the bit that had always foxed me, then I had an epiffany couple of days ago. The colours are easy, the clever detail stuff is already done and layers on top of the colour you choose. Took a couple of goes to get the camo stipes to match at the top and bottom of the body but a few screenshots helped. I'm getting the hang of it, still dont understand "Alpha" layers and such though !......Meanwhile get back to the Air Ambo thread Beach....I got a little something for you.

joey45 Posted May 16, 2013 Posted May 16, 2013 Awesome.. This was on my To Do List.. ED userfiles thingy is quite good.

Sorry looking like a newb No worries I nly worked it out the other day. DCS World/Bazaar/Liveries/uh-1h. Pop the folder with the files in it in there. You can make your own folder and call it what you want as long as the files go in it. Should appear in UK uh-1h in mission editor

nickmow Posted May 17, 2013 Author Posted May 17, 2013 After a little time I managed to come up with a passable Orange topped 212 skin. (Even though I think its an odd scheme) Hope its OK. I will put it here in Dropbox and then go and try DCS user files for the pair. Thanks for the feedback Nick Orange top https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/37323180/AAC%20212%20Glo.rar
