[IC] DCS Cyan Alert- Light, Dark & Beige!
« on: Sun, 22 June 2025, 10:35:23 »

 

Hello :)  I would like to introduce a project that I have been working on quite some time. Cyan Alert takes its inspiration from OTD Red alert which featured the iconic alert stripe, icon mods and classic light alphas while adding two different versions Dark and Beige. This IC will help us(me & SP) understand the demand for each version and if they should be run together or at separate times.

IC Form

Full Album w more Board Renders.


Stock SP colours are used
Light- WFK & BBQ
Dark- GX & BBQ
Beige- WW & BBQ

Kits







The siren novelty will be changed.




 
Board Renders
Note-Board renders are made for promotional purposes and colours might look different due to lighting conditions.

Collaborations
If you would like to collaborate hit me on discord @cartersrush
If you're working on a cool TKL or a board in any other layout consider adding Cyan as an option ;) (No F13 pls)

Love the theme and colors – especially Dark, but Beige is excellent too.

I’d be very interested in:
– an International Kit
– the Extension Kit
– and definitely the Novelties Kit – they would round out the set perfectly!

Hope these get included – would 100% join the GB with those options.

maybe its done automatically because you put them beside each other, but you should be able to change it by changing the values that i marked with yellow, when you go to edit the post.

Two things I learned soon after I started using postimage:

1) make sure it is set to "Do not resize my image" when you upload. Probably you're already doing this.


2) By default, the link is to a lower res version of your image, even when you do 1). But their FAQ explains you can click on the image to zoom in until the magnifying glass contains a minus sign (or there is no magnifying glass), then right click on it and pick "copy image address" to get a link to the full size image. It took me a few weeks to figure this out.


ALSO: in Geekhack, do just the {img}link{/img} without the {url} part. That way it doesn't send you to postimage when you click on the pic. And on a PC you can just arrow back and forth between images.

i like cyan, wish this was more like gmk cyan as we haven't seen a run of that in a trillion years + gorton legends goated. dark base reminds me a lot of gmk electric with the symbol/alert row. glwic!

The Light & Dark Kits are instant buys for me. Glad to see the 10u Spacebar becoming a common inclusion in DCS kits too

That was a geekhack issue, it compressed everything. Took ages to fix since it kept giving me an error when I tried to update the IC. Great job Drop! :)

Some 40s thoughts:
* you're missing the r3 1.5u enter that's needed with 1.75u r2 backspace.
* I'd add an accented 1u r2 delete, that can be used on a few layouts (12u / 13u / 13.5u left side big mods / 14u big mods).
* that 1.5u r4 shift goes with boards that are X.25u wide (qaz for example). Without a 1.25u r2 backspace that shift is useless, so either add the backspace or take the shift out.
* bars-wise, the 1.75u and 1.5u either need to be doubled or taken out. By themselves they serve (almost) no use.

It's not a tombstone, it's a klaxon that's going to be remade
