BSD Pinterest
So, I don't know if everyone is aware that the small pictures you can see scrolling on the left of the main page are actually coming from the BSD pinboard on Pinterest. This board is opened to all the BSD members. Just ask by PM (also you need a free Pinterest account). The board is shared with about half a dozen pilots today. Everytime you find/create some cool pics you want to see on the site and share/comment them with the other members, just pin them on the BSD board.
One of the picture you may have missed lately is one of a Gazelle with the "tail number" BSD!! (OK, letters are used in Europe and elsewhere for tail numbers). Anyway. Yes, there is actually a French Gazelle somewhere flying our colors. How cool is that?
Some new files available on the BSD OvGME repository
There are really a lot of great skins you can download on the users files on ED site, but Eagle_Rising spotted this one, made by a very talented skin artist called Rafal from Yoyosims that look particularly awesome: a paint job by Polish forces in Afghanistan with a nice weathered effect.
These skins where posted by Eight Ball not so long ago. It's not about the UN skin for the Mi-8 (it's a default one in game), but he skinned a whole set of vehicles (LAV-25, BRDM-2, BMP-2, UAZ, Gaz-66, Kamaz truck, BTR-80) as well as a nice blue UN helmet to US soldiers. Now ED extended its skin system to all the objects in game, the UN skin is just showing up in the list of skins available for each of those vehicles/people. So you are not deleting or modifying anything in your DCS install. I think this adds some nice missions possibilities for all of us.
As usual, if you are using oVGME and you went through the tutorial on the BSD forum, simply go into Mods/Repositories/Query and select what you want to install. Otherwise, there is still the (less often updated) mods page on BSD site. But you have to understand how to install mods.
