+Dave Posted June 16, 2007 Posted June 16, 2007 Even low vis grey comes in handy at low altitude. Lets see some screen shots of effective use of camo in a variety of terrains using any aircraft. Quote
+Dave Posted June 16, 2007 Author Posted June 16, 2007 Here is a non good use of camo.....the black and whites of the SU-27 make is stand out like a sore thumb. Quote
+Dave Posted June 16, 2007 Author Posted June 16, 2007 This one color scheme seems to fit the German terrain well...... Quote
+Dave Posted June 16, 2007 Author Posted June 16, 2007 Makes me wonder.....in this scheme, does it seem the dark brown takes away from its effectiveness? Quote
+HrntFixr Posted June 16, 2007 Posted June 16, 2007 well it's not over Germany.... comming soon to a desert near you! :yes: Quote
+FOTF Posted June 16, 2007 Posted June 16, 2007 Hey Sundowner, this is a thread about airplanes, OK? Try posting some pictures with airplanes in them next time...Sheesh! Quote
eraser_tr Posted June 16, 2007 Posted June 16, 2007 How dare you! Looking at a texture in a game against the background of a texture in a game, you can't really get a true effect of camoflauge(spelling?). It's amazing how a pattern of completely different colors can blend in. Perfect example: my cat. Bright orange on slightly darker orange, sitting in the middle of my backyard( green grass) was absolutely invisible until I was about 3 feet from her. It's not so much that the camo really hides something, its that your eye passes over it without noticing if you don't know something is there. Same with a regular soldier's camo, works great if you don't know where they are, but once you do, it doesn't blend in at all. Except those suits snipers use. You could step on them and not know it.

Lt. James Cater Posted June 16, 2007 Posted June 16, 2007 That Harrier would be a pain to spot from altitude! Quote
Shashman Posted June 16, 2007 Posted June 16, 2007 That German RF-4C camo is by far the most effective one so far. Impressive Quote
Sheriff Posted June 16, 2007 Posted June 16, 2007 Variation on Italian WW2 scheme- Desert Marine F-4- Thud Blending Marines in weather- Quote
eraser_tr Posted June 16, 2007 Posted June 16, 2007 (edited) yes, WW2 italy on a modern jet. I'm painting a few american planes in WW2 colors, slowly, think of an F-4 or tomkitty in the light blue used in 1942. Or for that matter, a P-51 or P-47 in SEA or Euro camo! Is that desert marine skin or RF-4E euro camo uploaded anywhere? Edited June 16, 2007 by eraser_tr Quote
Emp_Palpatine Posted June 16, 2007 Posted June 16, 2007 The ItalianWW2 Mirage is very handsome! Quote
Lexx_Luthor Posted June 16, 2007 Posted June 16, 2007 U-2A. Space is the biggest place to hide. Enviro sky colour temp darkened to (I guess) represent 80k feet. I wish TK would do a simple sky colour variation with altitude. If you ever climb above TK's overcast clouds, the white slowly turns to blue, so we know altitude sky colour variation is possible with this game engine. Quote
Falcon161 Posted June 17, 2007 Posted June 17, 2007 That mirage skin is sweet! As well as the F-4's! Quote
+SayethWhaaaa Posted June 17, 2007 Posted June 17, 2007 This is has nothing to do with what you guys are producing but I have a low-viz european camo for the Flanker here: Also, if you look here, there are actually 2 Flankers... By the way, I love that Italian Mirage! Quote
+JediMaster Posted June 18, 2007 Posted June 18, 2007 With natural haze in the atmosphere making things look gray it's no wonder that low-vis gray is the most popular paint scheme now no matter which plane/helo it is. Also blends in if you're parked on the tarmac. Only from above at short range is it really visible. Quote

Jug Posted June 23, 2007 Posted June 23, 2007 U-2A. Space is the biggest place to hide. Enviro sky colour temp darkened to (I guess) represent 80k feet. I wish TK would do a simple sky colour variation with altitude. If you ever climb above TK's overcast clouds, the white slowly turns to blue, so we know altitude sky colour variation is possible with this game engine. Historical note here: U-2's were flight tested to within 2000 feet of each other at altitude and remained invisible with the black color scheme above 70K. Since the vast majority of fighters can only make transient trips to the Dragon Lady's altitude, she remains in the shadows there. SAM's are another story. Light refraction changes with air density and there is little air density at 70K. Sky only really changes apparent hue at altitude looking straight up. Quote

+FastCargo Posted June 24, 2007 Posted June 24, 2007 Found some surprising camo that I didn't expect would work as well - a little French Navy action: FastCargo Quote
