I love watching trashy action movies fr om the oughts, so I was pleasantly surprised when I saw a beautiful Yak-52 in a Resident Evil movie and knew I had to recreate it in DCS.
This is my first skin, so to say that I'm a bit lost would be an understatement. I did give it a shot so if you want to land on a rooftop, you can now do it in style! But sadly without the arrestor wire and unbreakable prop (on second thought, the DCS yak doesn't really have a damage model so you might be good?).
I probably made plenty of rookie mistakes in the prosses, so any thoughts or critiques would be appreciated.
There is also a slightly awkward interview with the owner of the real plane on youtube:

As a fan of the old RE games I can't say I would recommend the movie though, it was bearly coherent. But in the end, it might have been worth it for the Yak.
Unzip and place in your "Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\CoreMods\aircraft\Yak-52\Liveries\Yak-52" path.
Known issues:
The mechanical gear indicator has no texture. If you know wh ere in the template it is, I would love to hear from you.
The lightning bolt is the wrong colour and slightly misplaced.
