ModMan 7.3 with the November 2012 update is required to use this mod. If you arent using ModMan 7.3 (Nov 2012), then see the bottom of this file for manual installation instructions.
This mod replaces the default 1024x1024 pilot texture with 2048x2048 pilot textures based on the pilot texture for the F-15C. The high resolution textures were ported over and adjusted where required to maintain compatibility with the slight differences in the A-10 pilot texture.
On top of this, I have added unit patches to each of the default USAF squadrons included with DCS World. This also includes unit morale patches on the right shoulder where applicable and the proper Major Command (MAJCOM) on the chest.
I have also tweaked the description.lua files to apply the F-15 helmet (the Kevlar grey helmet), replacing the default white helmet that is better served for USN aircraft. I did not replace the helmet texture to ensure compatibility with other aircraft; should you wish to apply the kevlar helmet to other 3rd party A-10 skins you can analyze the description.lua files for the proper lines to add to your other files.
Finally, I added a default pilot_a10.dds file to TempTextures, which ensures that the high resolution skin is available for 3rd party A-10 skins. Since there is no designated squadron for a generic skin, I used a "Hawgsmoke 2012" patch on the right shoulder to add color. If you do not wish to use this for the default A-10 pilot skin, just remove pilot_a10.dds from the Bazar\TempTextures folder, and the original A-10 pilot will be restored for all other skins.
Manual Installation:
If you wish to manually install this mod, then back up your Bazar\Liveries\A-10A and Bazar\Liveries\A-10C folders. Once you have done this, then just unzip the files to your DCS World folder, ensuring that the recursive folder structure is intact.
Manual Removal:
1. Restore your original Liveries folders (you did back them up, right?)
2. Delete "pilot_a10.dds" from the Bazar\TempTextures folder
3. Delete the folder Bazar\World\Textures\A-10 (don't worry; the original files are in the A-10.zip file in the Textures folder)
Enjoy!

This is the template I used to create the pilot skins for default A-10 aircraft. The template is 2048x2048 to accommodate the higher resolution F-15C pilot skin, though the original A-10 skin is available as background. Since the F/A-18C pilot skins use the same texture (albeit shaded), I have added USN/USMC units as well.
The template includes green, desert, and black flightsuits, the SRU-21P survival vest, different unit patches, morale patches, A-10 type patches, and pencil patches. In addition, there is a modular nametag set that allows different colored nametags, different types of warfare badges (e.g. USN Pilot & NFO wings, Jump wings, etc.), and a place to add your name.
The pack includes 2 standard paint scheme of hungarian air force

This a fictional repaint of the DCS World/FC3 Su-27 Flanker in a Ukranian AF low-viz "Splinter" colour scheme.
Please read the readme file for installation.
Thank you.

This is a fictional skin pack (seven in all), for the DSC World/FC3 Su-27 Flanker. This is actually version 2 of this pack and contains seven repaints, all fictional, but trying to keep within Russian Air Force colour and colour scheme parameters. They are really just a play on colours using G.K.'s superb PSD DCS Su-27 template but some are more extensive repaints than others. You will notice skin RM7 is missing, this was removed for version 2 as it was TERRIBLE!!!!!, but I hope you will like the rest of them.
Please read the readme file carefully for installation. Please note the skins have been updated since I took the included screenshots.
Thanks for downloading my skins.

Thank you for downloading my repaint.

This is a repaint of the DCS World/FC3 Su-27 Flanker. This repaint was produced using a profile drawing I found online, I am not sure if it represents a "real world" Su-27 or not but I really liked the scheme so I copied it as best as I could.
I have included the profile drawing I used so see what you think.
Please read the readme file for installation.
Thanks.
