A-10 & F/A-18C Pilot Photoshop Template (2048x2048)

Recommended Posts

A-10 & F/A-18C Pilot Photoshop Template (2048x2048)


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.

      OH-58D Kiowa Warrior
      Now Available as Mission Ready
       

      The OH-58D first flew in 1983 and was the result of the Army Helicopter Improvement Program as a single engine, flour-bladed light weight helicopter. The Kiowa Warrior introduced the distinctive Mast-Mounted Sight (MMS) above the main rotor, and a mixed glass cockpit with traditional instruments and as such was the first helicopter equipped with MFDs.
      While the OH-58D Kiowa Warrior thrives in its reconnaissance role, making full use of its MMS and the Level 2 Manned-Unmanned System (L2MUM), in more recent conflicts it played a pivotal role not only in gathering critical intelligence but also in actively supporting ground troops through precision strikes on enemy positions, illustrating its adaptability and effectiveness in both reconnaissance and offensive missions. 
      Armed with a vast array of weapons including the AGM-114 Hellfire missiles, a .50 caliber FN M3P machine gun, FIN-92 air-to-air Stinger missiles and a large selection of rocket types including laser guided Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System (APKWS), the OH-58D Kiowa Warrior is capable of fulfilling a meaningful role by itself or by supporting other assets in DCS. 
      Kiowa Warriors serving in the US Army took part in a number of operations including:
      Operation Prime Chance 1988 Operation Just Cause 1989 Desert Storm 1991 RAID 1989 - 1994 Peace Implementation Forces (IFOR) 1995 - 1996 Operation Enduring Freedom Operation Iraqi Freedom The US Army retired the OH-58D Kiowa Warrior in 2017 having accumulated over 800,000 combat hours. It continues to serve with the armed forces of Croatia, Greece, Taiwan and Tunisia to this day.

      Flaming Cliffs 2024
      Planned Launch Date
      Flaming Cliffs (FC) 2024 will expand the series with the inclusion of three new aircraft: the FC: F-5E, FC: F-86F, and FC: MiG-15bis. These aircraft are designed to be less complex and easier-to-learn, making them ideal for players who prefer a more straightforward flight simulation experience. The new models come with DCS Professional Flight Models that ensure a high level of realism.
      The F-5E is equally capable of air combat and unguided-ground strikes. Its arsenal includes infrared-guided ‘Sidewinder’ missiles and two cannons for close-in air combat. It is also equipped with a radar that can detect targets beyond visual range. For ground attack, the F-5E carries a large array of unguided bombs and rockets.
      The F-86F is a legendary fighter of the Korean War era. It is a very capable dogfighter armed with 50 calibre machine guns and early infrared-guided air-to-air missiles. In skillful hands, it was more than a match against other aircraft of the era and a fierce rival to the MiG-15. The F-86F can also be armed with unguided bombs and rockets for ground attack.
      The MiG-15bis was a revolutionary fighter when introduced during the Korean War and outmatched anything in the skies until the arrival of the F-86. It was a small and light fighter but very rugged and tough. Loved by all its pilots it is an outstanding dogfighter when flown to its strengths. It’s armed with both two 23mm guns and a single 37mm cannon that can inflict severe damage. 
      Existing Flaming Cliffs 3 owners with F-15C, A-10A, Su-27, J-11, Su-33, Su-25, MiG-29, and MiG-29S, can upgrade to the new version for a early mover $9.99 USD fee, offering an affordable way to enjoy these great additions. This special offer will only be available until the end of July, thereafter the upgrade price will increase to $14.99. You can also purchase the FC: F-5E, FC: F-86F, and FC: MiG-15bis individually for the price of $14.99 USD each.

      I´m sure you have seen it in some movie, or read it in a story. 
      Someone who has no clue about airplanes has to get in one and fly off to somewhere.
      They usually just get in and fly away, but it is really that simple?
      Since I´m new to the flightsim genre I decide to dedicate my first flight to answering that question.
