+Wrench Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 when did they start showing up in a gray, lo-viz scheme??? Can't find any data on that, let alone the 2-tone gray! TIA! Quote
+Wrench Posted October 6, 2011 Author Posted October 6, 2011 that's the loviz gray I'm looking for! (and redrawing a new template to make!) the Tiger skin's great! so, where to find it? Quote
+Wrench Posted October 7, 2011 Author Posted October 7, 2011 yes, The one I"m doing has brandy new, fully SF2 compliant FM. Still working out a few cockpit bugs. Thinking about the SE-M variant for post-1990 usage (but trying to find a replacement cockpit withOUT a moving map display....<cough> A-7E <cough> there's a couple of screenies in the Screenshots thread of the original blue skin Quote
Gunrunner Posted October 7, 2011 Posted October 7, 2011 (edited) To my knowledge the single-tone grey scheme is something "new", apparently sometimes in starting in August June 2008 (some references say 2007 but not backed up by photographs so far 3 planes, replaced at Kandahar by 3 others in August 2008) to go with small upgrades to serve in Afghanistan, prior to that the 2-tones grey scheme was is still the standard. Apparently after a very quick search, I can't find references to SEM others than those of the 17F to use the single-tone scheme and only 6 (n° 1, 8, 17, 24, 31 and 51 are confirmed so far) of them are confirmed as using it, those based at Kandahar. I'll continue searching and post more when I find more, it's easier and faster to search for this in french. Update : The changes for Afghanistan I could confirm are only the ability to use the EGBU-12/GBU-49 INS/GPS Paveways, nothing seems new other than that, the use of the Damocles and Standard 5 work was done earlier AFAIK. Update bis : Apparently the 6 planes once using the single-tone scheme are using the standard 2-tones scheme now. Concerning the 2-tones scheme : From what I've gathered so far, it did correspond with the SEM upgrade, so planes started receiving it in 1993 and the last one received it in 1997. So, no Super Etendard wore it before being upgraded. The Etendard IVP however started using it in 1993 before being replaced in 1997 by the Standard 4 SEM. Edited October 7, 2011 by Gunrunner Quote
