Vonrd's Sopwith Triplane. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/q5ft5iuiklyhhej/AACuuZm5E0ez2Z7f94UPPvFRa?dl=0 Post below if you want a skin. Please include ideas and whether you want glossy finish or flat / semi gloss. My research has shown that many of the WW1 aircraft were actually glossy though they would get duller eventually through oxidation and eventually paint was applied duller from the factory. This is contrary to what I had believed. I thought all were originally flat finishes from the start.

I've made an alternate to the default Sopwith Triplane prototype skin which doesn't correctly represent the actual plane IMO. Unique features... Engine turned aluminum application to cowling Upper wing cutout Glossy fabric and lightened color of fabric (it would have been basically white or very slightly beige since it was Irish linen with clear nitrate dope). I'm pleased with the results and hopefully haven't offended whoever made the default skin.

It looks good but I'm also wary of the almost inevitable swarm of insects accompanying it.

Last one down the rabbit hole tonight...

And now down the rabbit hole...

I posted Haim's cover before (and it's great) but I really like this song and Rick Springfield really surprised me in this acoustic version.

Post below if you want one. Here's mine. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/i6d8ngz4wxjaxtg/AADhXEQV0ErkgHnYkKr-wGpwa?dl=0

Initial test, wings will fold but only above 4G with a fair amount of damage. I couldn't get the AI to just put a few rounds into me.

1.2k Location:Moscow 1CGS Posted 2 hours ago Update 4.704 Dear friends, The Sturmovik Team and Ugra-Media have completed the Sopwith Triplane which is the final aircraft planned for Flying Circus Vol.II. The new Western Front map is still in development. The "Tripe" as it was famously called, has three beautiful wings! Each wing has its own ailerons making it quite maneuverable in battle with enough armament to allow its pilots to be confident in a dogfight with any adversary of the era. We think you will enjoy her! In addition to the new aircraft there are many changes and additions in this update that will improve your gameplay experience: 1. Sopwith Triplane is available to all owners of Flying Circus Vol.II; 2. Distant buildings visualization system has been improved, single medium sized buildings that are viable targets are displayed from farther away; 3. Shadows rendering in the hangar is more detailed; 4. Tank gun firing visual effects are further improved; 5. Fire effects are improved for various vehicle types; 6. Additional optimization of the landscape rendering system reduced the potential stutters while moving on the map; 7. Loading times of larger maps were improved a bit; 8. Sensitivity settings for the pitch axis, the vertical guidance axis of the tank turret and other similar axes, now have correct namings for hte axis limits; 9. Adjusting the axes control settings was made clearer thanks to better dead zone visualization; 10. Second and third engine axes response settings have correct labels; 11. GUI instrument panel turns off after bailing out; 12. A rare GUI issue that sometimes could lead to generating a Quick Mission Builder scenario without a player flight if the player flight count has been set to random has been fixed; 13. Balloons now have markers like aircraft do; 14. Bombs dropped from a bomb bay backwards (tails first) won't visibly jerk along their axis; 15. Simple ground vehicles and ships will correctly engage the targets assigned by MCU_CMD_AttackTarget command with High priority; 16. Square visual artifacts on the water surface that were visible from high altitude at certain sun position won't appear on Rheinland map anymore; 17. AI pilots will switch off their navigation lights when engaged by the enemy during the landing; 18. All German gauges have been redrawn to be as historically accurate as possible. Different gauges are assigned to each model variant (Oyster_KAI); 19. Colors of all German interior equipment/placard have been checked and repainted to their correct color or design (Oyster_KAI); 20. New different throttle quadrant markings & pitch control switch for Bf-109 F/G/K. 21. New drop tank placard & oil cooler placard for Bf-109 E-7 (Oyster_KAI); 22.

Scrollbar in the aircraft selection menu in Dogfight won't overlap with the aircraft images 31. A minor issue in the tactical number selection menu has been fixed; 32. Mission Editor won't crash during loading of the Prokhorovka map; 33. Aircraft lists in the Mission Editor are sorted correctly (alphabetically). Please discuss the update in this thread.

Maus' skin done and added to the Dropbox folder: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/kilu2p8cz1iuloq/AABIHoRZVfPlnE8rj53WcjAZa?dl=0

Same. But you can only put it off so long. Barton, what was the fix for you?

Will do

Thank you all! I'm going to play around some and will probably start simple as Etzel did. I think I can also edit in Photoshop so I'll try that as well.

I have a good track regarding the MiG-15 gunsight that I'd like to make a video of. I think it would be helpful. I am totally ignorant on how to do so. I just did a Google search and got frustrated. It's late and I thought it best to ask the community for recommendations. I have Shadowplay, OBS Studio and Fraps. I'd like to add voice commentary. Please direct me to good tutorials. Thanks.

Just testing to see that the site is not down. It's been very quiet today.

ROEN911 does most of the art for IL2 Great Battles. Supermely talented he does other commisions such as book and magazine covers. https://www.deviantart.com/roen911 As to the historical skins... I'll leave that to our supreme Historian. What do you say Klai?

Done. Take a look. The same link: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/kilu2p8cz1iuloq/AABIHoRZVfPlnE8rj53WcjAZa?dl=0

Do you want other skins? If so, can you provide a personal graphic? (Or maybe just keep with the "LG"?)

I had wondered about the black but you hadn't mentioned it. Will do.

Here's Hotlead's and Ludwig's modified skin. Should be the same Dropbox: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/kilu2p8cz1iuloq/AABIHoRZVfPlnE8rj53WcjAZa?dl=0

@Karl Spackler Trev have you seen this? Eddie giving away all his secrets!
