Thanks @Vonrd.

Hi @tourvillejeff47 - since your issues seems to be in IL-2: 1946, I've moved both of your posts together within the DCG section. It's been a while since I've flown 1946, but I can try to help. Maybe someone who is more knowledgeable can join in. Firstly, there should be four separate controls for four types of weapons: guns, cannons, rockets, and bombs. I would check your control mappings and make sure that they're set correctly. Bombs are Fire 4 (bombs) - Alt Space. Additionally, many aircraft are designed to drop wing ordinance first. And when the wing ordinance drops, they'll usually go in pairs. This is to prevent over-Ging damage to the aircraft, as well as flight imbalance. After you drop the wing bombs, you should be able to drop the central bomb with another pull of the release button. I don't remember if there is a way to drop all simultaneously. Also, if there are bomb bay doors (obviously not on a fighter-bomber, but just in case), the bomb bay doors must be open first before releasing the bombs, or they won't go. Bombs often have a fuse. This is mostly to prevent you from blowing off your own wing. In the Difficulty Settings, make sure to check what your current settings are. If there is a delay, you'll need to be high enough to allow the bomb to start the arming process. On late war aircraft, look for the R4HL (air-to-ground) or the R4M (air-to-air). Hopefully this helps.

It's my job sneaking through - work in a library. @Balge might use the stuff too (as he book binds).

I think in English it's called linen thread, which either comes waxed or unwaxed. The unwaxed version is used a lot in bookbinding, as it's natural, extremely strong and durable. Miillners (hat makers) use it a lot too. For example: https://www.talasonline.com/Irish-Linen-Thread Or this: https://www.talasonline.com/French-Linen-Thread Or this one: https://www.thethackery.com/default/fil-au-chinois-50g-lin-cable-waxed-linen-180-black-for-solid-stitching-5-thicknesses-available-made-in-france.html

All, As a part of our ongoing Paint Pack Revision Project, the DCS World skin pack has been updated. New skins have been added by JG1 skinners and by others.

It's just resting... very soundly

Hi @un9249, Welcome! I'll send you an email to the address you registered with. Looking forward to talking with you more soon!

It's great that you guys have been coordinating with the SIA and Wing Walkers.

I like that they've given us a Roadmap. Makes me feel better about the whole process. Now for them to create one for core game features and improvements.

Looks like a lot of fun was had!

That would definitely be nice.

That’s great news @Etzel.

Hi @Firesale, welcome! Thanks for checking us out and stopping by the forums. I'll send you an email to the address you registered with. Looking forward to talking more!

The original link was ghostskies.com. We saved it on the JG1 site, but eventually buried it. I'll have to fix that. SCG is still around, but they're working on a new website. I'll have to find out what the URL is.

Yeah, Clash of Titans was one of the dead-is-dead events that JG1 was coordinating in the early 2000s. Starting around 2003 I think. This specific forum was attached to the third version of the event - Clash of Titans III (COT III). If anyone is curious, there is a lot of information on the many versions of Clash of Titans we ran within our squadron history: https://jg1.org/oesau/history/ Obviously, COT was always a group effort with many hands involved over many years. That said, @Lowengrin's DCG was always at the heart.

That definitely brings back a lot of memories! Thanks @wheelsup_cavu. What made you think of that?

Thanks for the heads up!

Looking good, @wheelsup_cavu!

I'm definitely hopeful. A bunch of great images have been posted here: https://www.razbamsimulationsllc.com/mig-23-flogger-project And they post great screenshots on twitter every now and then: https://twitter.com/RAZBAM Maybe after the F-15E is released we'll see some new updates.

I definitely remember this game too! Wow, what a blast from the past.

I'm on Win11, so I'm not sure if I could get them to run anymore. But I'll definitely research it!

The game I remember playing a lot in the late 1990s was the Great Battles series: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Great_Battles

I remember this!

Very fitting! Today is the 105th anniversary of his death.
