Great skins, Vonrd!

Perfect for the Cold War map.

This is a skinpack compiled for use by the "Iron Curtain Virtual Aviators" lead by 526th Blade who provided much of the research, editing and advise. Thank you sir. The four aircraft presented, 68-0467, 68-0526, 69-0244 and 69-0260 are depicted as they were at Ramstein Air Base circa 1983 and are rendered as close as possible to historical photographs.

Looks great Vonrd!  Really love your F-4s.

I used the template set by GIMloo as a starting point. Thank you Sir! See his post here: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3347249/ for a download link.

Additionally I'd like to thank ED for not encrypting the Fulcrum.

This livery depicts Luftwaffe MiG-29G 29+20 with the construction number (c/n) 2960526315, initially operated by the East German Air Force (Luftstreitkräfte der NVA) with the side number "785", that was assigned to Fighter Wing 73 Steinhoff after German reunification. It is famous for its unique paint scheme, which was applied in 2001 for the unit's open house day at Rostock-Laage air base. That livery is one of the default ones and this one is it's appearance prior to that scheme. Three years later, in 2004, it was decommissioned alongside all other Luftwaffe MiG-29s and was transferred to the Polish Air Force and given the side number 4121. I have been unable to determine whether this airframe was one of the ones transferred to Ukraine.

Looks awesome, @Vonrd!  I love the work you did on the nose.  It looks like the real thing.

This is a skinpack of Luftwaffe F-4E Phantom IIs in Norm 81B Camouflage made for my friends in virtual squadron JaboG35. It consists of 8 separate aircraft with each having it's unique side number. 4 of the skins have red, blue or yellow tail / dorsal markings. The aircrew's flight suits are period correct orange as are the gloves in dirty white.

Jagdbombergeschwader 35 (JaboG 35) was a German Air Force fighter-bomber wing that operated from 1957 until its disbandment in 1994. Based at Pferdsfeld Air Base, it flew F-4F Phantom IIs.After German reunification, the Luftwaffe's structure was re-evaluated, leading to the disbandment of JaboG 35 in 1994. The wing's traditions were transferred to Jagdgeschwader 73 (JG 73), now Taktisches Luftwaffengeschwader 73 "Steinhoff," at Laage Air Base.

All folders including "JaboG35_Common" (very important) go in (Your chosen drive):\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Liveries\F-4E-45MC. The total file size is too large for User Files. The link is in the zip file but I'll repeat it here: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/sqr67zygq1q1mq0g0j839/JaboG35.zip?rlkey=u0hj6oex2a5r2v0q05ws6olws&st=x5vxh5fx&dl=0

This livery depicts a Belgian Air Force C-130H Hercules, Registration: CH-13, c/n 382-4047 which featured a striking paint scheme in 2013 to celebrate the 40th anniversary of C-130 operations with the 20th Squadron and the 65th anniversary of the 15th Wing.

The forward fuselage features an overall black background with a portrait of a Native American Chief in full headdress with the starboard vertical fin dedicated to marking 40 years of the Hercules transport aircraft in Belgian service and the port side of the fin commemorated the 65th anniversary of the 15th Air Transport Wing.

Features:

• Engine exhaust re-done from default to more closely replicate exhaust staining which includes flaps, flap wells and trailing edges.
• Belgian Pilot flight suit.

Yes, I know the DCS module is the "J" model which is longer and has 6 bladed composite propellers but I love this paint scheme.

Aircraft History: Originally served with the U.S. Air Force as a WC-130E meteorological research aircraft before being acquired by Belgium as a replacement for CH-02, which was destroyed in a fire in 2006. It was formally delivered to the Belgian Air Component on March 17, 2009, making it the newest (in terms of delivery date to Belgium) but oldest (in terms of manufacturing date and prior service time) aircraft in the fleet. CH-13 made its final operational flight and was retired in April 2021. It is the only Belgian C-130 to be preserved and is now a museum exhibit at the Golden Falcon / 1st Wing Historical Centre in Beauvechain.

This livery depicts an East German Mi-8 (actually a Mi-9 a command post variant of the Mi-8) with the identifier number 407, construction number (c/n): 340004 operated by the East German Air Force (Luftstreitkräfte der NVA) Command and Recce Helicopter Squadron 3 at Cottbus ass it was on September 13, 1990 just prior to reunification. Post unification it was re-numbered as 93+97. Following the German reunification, this aircraft was sold in 2001 to Pinewood Studios in the UK and was subsequently blown up during the filming of the 2002 James Bond movie 'Die Another Day' in which it was marked with fictitious North Korean marking "P-71".

Although based on number 407 the Bort numbers are selectable. For historical accuracy the exhaust suppressors shouldn't be used but I did paint them to match. Period correct DDR flight suits and helmets. Heavily weathered but I did tone it down a bit from what it actually looked like at the time and it got worse post unification.
