PHCAS units

[ckraiderfan1]

I have been wanting one of those French Lorraine chassis 150mm for a LONG TIME. Thanks so much PHCAS, again.
Here are two Skoda 6ST trucks for truck nuts like me. Courtesy of PHCAS of course.
Good night in Holland to our generous friend.

Hey flakfernrohr what's the chances of getting a "mask" for the beautiful (German_Lorraine-150mm.png) unit icon that Phcas made for all of us

Thanks again Phacas

And these too


All based on captured French armor

[flakfernrohr]

No problem with the masks. I will make them and post them tomorrow (CST USA). I usually make my masks with the gun barrels camouflaged like the armor of the vehicle instead of masking them to be a different contrasting color. Is that acceptable? If not, I can also make them with the gun barrels masked. LMK.

Here are a couple variations of the Tatra T111. It was a 6x6 beast.

These beautiful Icon units just keep "rolling" out of the assembly plant. So great, so nice and appreciated so much by so many.

Belgium Prime Mover

[flakfernrohr]

Those Belgian Prime Movers are just plain "cute". It's nice to see the obscure stuff being made available.
In the meantime, here are some German Trucks for the troops. These Tatra 6x6 trucks were really beasts in rough terrain and conditions. The Skoda was certainly on equal footing with them in ruggedness and ability as well.

[phcas]

flakfernrohr, nice new skins, how do you do that? How does it work?

[McGuba]

These are excellent units indeed, many thanks for sharing them!

In one way, it is a shame that the "Minor" nations were mostly neglected in the base game, but luckily, we, the modders sooner or later add all the missing units, and what's even better, in proper PzC style and quality.

@PHCAS: It is the masking tool that the famous Rezaf made for all of us several years ago when he and I were working on doing the DCS tool. Rezaf was and is always the brains.

Here is a link to the Mask Tutoral made by Rezaf. It has dropped the images on the thread of the forum, but Guille kindly sent it to me. I had forgotten how to do it until he sent me this. Also are links to the DCS Beta version with updated insignia file section and the excellent and better organized DCS done for the outstanding Amulet 200 Mod. I added skins and thumbnails from the forum in my own DCS tool on my computer and also those McGuba kindly sent to me from his great mods for Hungarian units. All a person needs to do is put the skins and thumbnails into the folders in the DCS mod files appropriately titled. You can easily manage the skins by category, country, style, etc. You can certainly relabel them as you wish for your own DCS use as in the case of the Amulet 200 DCS. The really neat stuff to enjoy on PZC comes from many generous, talented and creative individuals who share their work with all of us, just like you.

I might add that a person can be creative with the "masking" and as you work with doing it, you learn the techniques that suit your fancy. Personally I like to make the armament on most of the armor I mask to match the camouflage of the skin while many others typically "mask" the armament like the gun barrels, etc. It is all in a person's likes and dislikes. I made the all black German cross on the Tatra T27 and Skoda trucks and Hungarian crosses on the Tatra T27 trucks without the DCS tool. I just put the icon unit into GIMP, made the view about 800% and did pixel coloring, saved the image naming it a bit different than the original, copied an identical mask, put them in the DCS base icon file and went to skinning.

You will have a blast playing with units and the DCS if you have never done it. Even Nico got excited with it when it first came out (which is quite flattering actually). I really liked the skins McGuba used on his German icon units in his mod and asked him if he would send me the skin and thumbnail information. He sent it and I found it was a skin and thumbnail I had made for the original DCS and didn't even remember or recognize it. There is a thread about DCS that is old:

Have fun PHCAS............that's what it's all about as they sing in "The Chicken Dance". If you have never seen or heard of "The Chicken Dance", check it out on YouTube.

I think you want this truck? In German grey?

Great!. If you could make it Guille´s blue-style (like the other Finnish units he created) that would be great .
Thanks a lot!.
