DCS Mudspike adventures - Skinpack edition

The oddest thing is, I made Aeromechanical, Sryan, and Chipwhich’s F-15C liveries all at the same time with the same program/tech/precedures but even if I appliedthe same fix to all of them only Sryan’s actually works.

Same for Freak and NavyNuke Mirages! One works and the other does not. Fascinating.

I’m very very puzzled.

@SkateZilla I hope you don’t mind me pinging you, but I could really use a little help. :folded_hands:

Today I will take a small break from flying to really try and get skins done.

There’s more than one reason to it - on one hand these last weeks of online DCS have provided me with some of the most remarkable fun, joyful sense of brotherhood, and overall sense of belonging I’ve ever experienced within the realm of a videogame.

On the other hand real world event leave a bitter taste in my mouth, which is why I tend to mostly work logistics and - allow me to say this - take pride in my airmanship.

People very very close to me suffer from current events, but I will not try and curb anyone’s enthusiasm about DCS. :blush:

It’s a game, and each and every one of you has done nothing but enjoying it for what it is. Not a single friend here ever made it problematic and I’m so very proud of this.

That’s why I will do my little past in making the fun of it better - making skins for everyone to enjoy.

Have a fantastic day, make me proud on the server, and if you will download my silly creations and enjoy them, just put a like. :blush:

It’s more than enough.

Apologies, I’ve been traveling for work.

What was the problem you were having?

I made three skins for the old F-15C. Two of them are broken in a way I can’t fix.

Not a lot of data- just gimme a few days more to try and re-create the .dds from the original .PSD maybe that was my issue.

Thank you very very much for answering at all- never worry about any delay. IRL is more real. :+1:

I have kind of considered the same thing. I was pondering if our next group adventure was at Nellis, with a fake war to win, that might be a little less topical.

I was thinking Cold War Germany. No desert, no relation to the desert wars, very different time.

Which do you prefer @komemiute ?

EDIT: this feels like the wrong thread to discuss this. Perhaps a new thread? Mudspike Foothold round 3 preplanning?

I’m cool with either Germany or Kola. Whatever works for folks.

I want Germany. I want placenames that I can pronounce and green rolling hills. Does Germany suffer the nuclear Mk-82 bug too?

And for Germany, we need the bestest camo scheme the USAF ever devised, euro-one or lizzard. Especially when it had darkened a bit from being out in the weather a bit it looks so utterly badass.

If you do that for the SuperHerc, you are going to win the Herkybird skinning contest over at ED @komemiute !

Yeah I think we should have a separated thread for the next map.

Beside that, I think I will take a little break.

I need to do these skins, and my arm hurts from the wrong position I assume* flying helos… I should have put much more effort in making skins. Today I also had to tend via telephone to my son and in a different instance to my GF. There’s a number of small problems in their life and I need to be present, front and center.

I know you are not going to complain if I take time to do these skins, but at the same time I came up with this idea and I have to oblige. :grin: Don’t worry I am happy, it’s just coincidental things happening.

Love you all.

*Don’t worry too much about it, I asked help to our cockpit enthusiast Troll to help me out with a solution for the HOTAS.

You all know we can trust him. :smiling_face_with_sunglasses::+1: So as soon as I take some measures, I will get some stuff and DIY my revised home simpit.
