So, maybe not everyone knows (there’s some new faces after all) that I used to make DCS skin for Baltic Dragon campaigns- including helmets and flight suits, patches and all the other goodness.
Now that was some time ago but I still think I can come up with good stuff, so I’m thinking to make a cohesive (or totally disruptive?) skinpack so each one of use can have and see each others specific livery, for whatever module each one of us flies.
To keep it light we can use the standard liveries just with custom made helmets, that wouldn’t require anything more than just the helmet texture, but let’s also not worry too much about these details yet.
My main question is- does anyone here want such a skin pack? My hope is to keep it inder the single GB, plus IIRC it can be put anywhere on your HDDs or SSDs, not necessarily in the main DCS one.
MUDSPIKE Livery pack?
Yes please, I’d very much like a livery pack, no matter the size!
Yes, it could be interesting but please keep the size small.

-WARNING-
Attention everyone: the liveries linked in the post below where made for an obsolete version of DCS (OMFG it was the 2.0!), the definitions changed over time and I’m in the process of updating them.
As a follow up, if you say either of the yes feel free to create your own post downhere where you can add the list of the modules you’d want a skin for, the type of livery you want, and extra details.
In fact let me post here an example.
Module name
Livery type : full custom livery, partial custom detail (both with a little example, please ), already available livery with custom detail, regular livery.
Name or callsigns printed on the bottom edge of the canopy
Pilot detail : helmet, flight suit, patches.
Examples:
1- Mi-8, full livery made like the Beatles Yellow submarine, “Komemiute” beside the pilot window, no extra helmets or flight suits details changed
2- F-16, regular -name of specific Guard of an american state- but with a smiling Strawberry on the tail, no name on the canopy, strawberry texture on the helmet and strawberry red flightsuit.
3- A-10, full desert-pink color (like WWII british long range patrol Jeeps) decorated with a cute piggy nose, and stenciled in gold-like calligraphy “Lethal Miss Piggy”, same pink-like color for the flightsuit and helmet
What about doing a mudspike airfleet, with a unique (but all the same) livery, with the only differences between aircraft being being a nose art (and or tail art) from the members user pic or chosen pic and call sign under the canopy and the same nose art on the helmet
I did a MiG-21 a LONG time ago and I don’t have any bad memories- feel free to ask, worst case I’ll find a funny way to divert your idea into something more manageable.
Ooooohi! I almost forgot about that! I can fix it… if all is well this afternoon I will post here a config file to swap in, in your UH-1 liveries folder, and all should be fine and dandy again for the Fearless Frog.
EDIT: Darn I love that “Mudspike Air Cavalry” stencil.
Additional notes, if anyone has trouble with their skins I made back in the day- please get in touch without fear, the fix is usually just a few line of codes in the description.lua inside the livery folder.
