Adjusted alpha on Fly's and my skins so that the serial no. shows. Please add the altered ones to the pack. v_!_JG1_PfalzD3a_Vonrd.dds v_!_JG1_PfalzD3a_Flyboy.dds

I'm hoping that we can get some pilots together this Sat 2/19/22 to practice FIF at the normal FIF time. I think Butzz will have it available. Butzz, maybe no password so anyone can join?

There may be more of an explanation out there in the intertubes but I found this during my research: Eberle´s aircraft had been marked with a double chevron but in accordance with temporary orders, this marking was painted over and the commander´s aircraft was marked with a number. http://www.historicalwings.com/?page_id=5438

BBAS_Tiki_Joe We will be switching sides midway through the event (at the third week) so you will be flying both sides. Since you indicate that you won't be flying A2, I will try to take that into consideration when assigning teams but no guarantees.

Two skins of Bf109G-6 Late flown by Friedrich Eberle Gruppenkommander of III./JG1 at Eelde in Oct. 43. I used the colors as provided by @SimSonius and changed the wing pattern camo as per http://theprofilepaintshop.blogspot.com/2013/10/chosing-correct-wingpattern-for-bf109g-6.html. Again @SimSonius provided this information. I used Rap's Petrol spill psd on the fuel filler, added and modified weathering (I manipulated the Alpha to make the oil on the belly shiny wet looking). Each skin is rendered both with and without the swastika and they have been submitted to Haluters. Should be available there in a couple days. Files are here if you don't want to wait but the naming might be different at Haluters: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/dmgwk954c26zgic/AABjHIlMmdHQM8Ytz9kp9adya?dl=0 NOTE: Only the non swastika skins will be submitted for consideration for addition to the JG1 skinpack. The files in the Dropbox link with swastika are "Bf109G6Late_Friedrich Eberle_Nov43_SW" and "Bf109G6Late_Friedrich Eberle_Oct43_SW". I welcome and encourage any critiques.

Klai, I'll also be working on the 30th anniversary skins. Maybe wait until the 18th?

Looks good Chewie! Might I suggest that you carry the Horizontal stab stripes and maybe the yellow Rudder / Vert stab through all of your planes. That way, you are instantly recognizable by any JG1s in the vicinity that see you. The "CC" is only visible from the side. Recognition is really the primary benefit and purpose for personal skins.

I found the solution to not being able to move my cursor when the headset is on. Make sure "Manually switch using Windows logo key +y" is selected noted in red. Don't do the yellow. See attached.

I'll leave it to Butzz but he had asked how to Ungtp files and I think it does have to do with the terrain files. But looking at the fifk.zip I don't really see anything for leveling or dealing with the soggy ground. So, what's the secret Butzz?...

Anyone up for some DCS this evening?

DCS: 2.7.10.19402 Open Beta - Hot fix https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/news/changelog/openbeta/2.7.10.19402/ DCS World Voice Chat. Extra radios added to the integrated radio box. Fixed issue with crash reporting in some cases. Corrected a mistake in the Russian translation of the name of R-60M on APU-60-1M. Fixed CTDs when using Damascus VOR-ILS. DCS: F/A-18C Hornet by Eagle Dynamics Updated Ru localization of inputs (FA-18C, overall improvement for consistency) Updated Ru localization of inputs (FA-18C, overall improvement for consistency, second pass; +cockpit) DCS: Combined Arms by Eagle Dynamics Tactical commander can't assign the target for AI aircraft - fixed. DCS: F-14 Tomcat by Heatblur Simulations Adjusted AIM-54 terminal guidance, significantly improving AIM-54 overall performance. DCS: UH-1H Huey by Belsimtek UH-1H 'Weapons Employment' training mission messages don't go away - fixed.

Sorry I missed you Maus. PD12 skin. v_!_JG1_PfalzD12_Maushake.dds

We were going to be a service center for the Honda Jet but their support was very minimal and amateurish. Plus, the plane is just outright weird. Working on engines on top of the wings... where do you stand for access? Spilling oil and fuel all over the wing and maybe even dropping a tool? How do you get the cherry picker in place for an engine change? We declined.

Well, that certainly beats me. I have a Chinese clone of a Tokarev TT-33 (I think it's a Norinco and I have barrels and mags for both 7.62x25 as well as 9×19mm Parabellum.) Not very accurate beyond 25 ft. but it's my home defense and I wouldn't think anything beyond that range matters. It rarely fails to chamber (only when I've been lax in cleaning as Barton mentions). It was a trade for services so didn't cost me a thing really. Also have a Remington 870 Wingmaster 12 ga with skeet and modified barrels.

If you delve deeper into the archives you'll find that... hair was BIG! (And so were shoulder pads).

Still waiting for my order to roll around.

Perhaps an opportunity for a JG1 open server with Klai's WWII mission?

This looks interesting...

While making the Duck skins and comparing them to the Bf110G2 I noted that Brit's skin had Klai's letters. Attached is the corrected skin. Please install in your skin folder :\Program Files (x86)\1C Game Studios\IL-2 Sturmovik Great Battles\data\graphics\Skins\Bf110G2 and allow overwrite. v_!_JG1_Bf110G-2_Britchot.dds

Here are the Hs-129 "Duck" skins submission. I made no screenshots. This aircraft is an acquired taste and will most likely not be flown except for a few individuals. This is one of the first submissions for Bombers / Attack planes (with the exception of the 110s which are, in essence, fighters carrying bombs). Since JG1 is a fighter squadron first and never flew any of these planes, we have decided that all other aircraft skins will be simplified as much as possible. This is the template as to what we are working on (and this is specific to the HS-129 but it's the general idea, other aircraft may have variations): Standard green camo. 1 flavor. No variations. No personal markings at all. So, no Tige, or Igantz or skeletal fish or devil or blue rudders or anything. And no colored rudders. White noses for command staff. Blank noses for everyone else. Normal squadron recognition codes on the fuselage: J1+YZ All black squadron recognition code on the underside of the wings. The roster number of the pilot (in staffel color) on the outside of the engine nacelles. Geschwadser commanders (myself and Brit) can be Blue 01 and Blue 02 Gruppe commanders could be Green 01, 02, 03, and 04. Everyone else gets their normal number and color. A low vis version of the Oesau emblem on the nose. I made skins only for those who "Might" possibly fly this plane and have more than 6 months service in JG1. There are a couple of generic squad skins. Heinrich will be doing the Europeans. Moving into the future, I have agreed to assist Klaiber in Administration, especially in FIF but this will likely extend into all of JG1 events. I expect that this will affect my skin production. Additionally, I have interest in making more DCS skins as well as doing other artistic endeavors involving Photoshop as well as 3D graphics. Just saying that skin production might be affected. I'm not abandoning it though... it's something that I really enjoy. For those newly accepted into JG1, please remind me when you have attained 6 months of active service in JG1 and I will be happy to start working on your personal skins.

Anyone up for some DCS around 6 PM Pacific today (Sun 1/23/22)?

I didn't realize that Butzzell didn't have Halb skins. I also altered his DFW skin to reflect his other skins. Didn't have time for screenshots. v_!_JG1_DFWC5_Butzzell.dds v_!_JG1_HalberstadtCL2_Butzzell.dds v_!_JG1_HalberstadtCL2au_Butzzell.dds

DFWs here. I included all who requested a skin or who would likely be flying DFW in tournament. Jaus made his own and it's included. Also included generic Jasta skins. Those who are unlikely to fly it or those who typically do their own skin are excluded. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/hx7h28ql4ocxy91/AAAp2EP0J51X0Z74WHu49fa6a?dl=0
