Those are pretty cool skins! The F-86 is historical. It's Erich Hartmann's. https://www.aviationgraphic.com/aviation-lithographs/2897-f-86f-sabre-ja-111-hartmann-s-black-tulip-jp-2002.html The MiG-15 is not historical. It's done in Hermann Graf's markings. Hermann Graf was accused of collaboration with the Soviets after the war, so I think that's why his WW2 Fw 190 markings are being used. But he never flew for the East German Air Force. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermann_Graf#/media/File:Fw_190_A5_U7_Graf_Wiki.jpg

One of us! One of us! . . . For people who need some inspiration, here are some historical profiles to look at: https://flyingmachines.ru/Site2/Crafts/Craft30020.htm And some history regarding general markings: http://www.airhistory.org.uk/rfc/Kagohl3-1.html

I'm not sure about this. Perhaps someone with more experience knows? I can do some research and get back to you.

Mostly, our Kill Policy is the same for Richthofen, Oesau, and Schmenkel. There are a few differences here and there, but nothing substantive. The Kill Policy, as written, is primarily based on the WW2 system used by the Luftwaffe. However, there are clear areas that deal with how virtual JG1 views streaks, tournaments in general, and the need to report quickly so as not to overburden the command structure (specifically me).

I don't have access to any books (as I'm at work), but during the First World War the German Air Service used the following policies: http://www.theaerodrome.com/forum/showthread.php?t=23226&garpg=4 For the Luftwaffe during the Second World War, things were similar. This is well documented in books, but here is a write-up from a website: https://rhorta.home.xs4all.nl/jgscor.htm Regarding the LSK (Luftstreitkräfte der Nationalen Volksarmee), they never went into direct combat. So I have no idea what system they would have developed for victory claims. However, I imagine it would be something similar to both the First World War and Second World War systems.

Great shooting, Barton!

This is common in Soviet designs. Brown is still the ground and the sky is still blue. Vonrd's link above is a good one.

Very cool video showing the aircraft on the ground and in the air. The pilot/instructor is extremely knowledgeable.

I would encourage anyone who has Assetto Corsa and the interest to register. Even if you're not associated with JG1. It should be a great set of races!

Perfect! Thank you so much!

Yeah, that would be one hell of an April Fools joke.

Thanks!

Unfortunately, this link only has the one skin - 5211.

Looks great Vonrd!

Vonrd, would you be able to make a skin like this? I like the black nose. But could you make the fuselage band pink? And instead of K2, could you have it say IGNATZ in the Bauhaus 93 font? Probably in black, but it could be another color. Like this: And of course, if you could find a place for Ignatz, that would be great. Maybe this guy: Thanks!

The Flanders In Flames (FIF) tournament will use one of two potential flight simulations. Our standard sim is Flying Circus – Volume I, Volume II, and Volume III, attached to the IL-2 Great Battles Series. Flying Circus offers virtual pilots access to VR, better graphics, and a game that enjoys dedicated developer support. The event server will be: Ad Astra / Flanders in Flames Somme 1916 When looking for the tournament's server stats pages, see the links below: Ad Astra stats page: http://adastrairfc.duckdns.org:8000/en/

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

Thanks so much, Butzzell!

Thanks, this looks really good.

This new description has all the countries you had, plus GDR. GDR was a late addition to DCS World. So any older skin you used as a template may not have it. The MiG-21s you've made (shark and white shark) are both okay, as the template you used already had GDR. The Bf 109K doesn't really matter, as it will never be on a GDR map. So, I think we're good. It's just this one and all others moving forward. Thanks!

Vonrd, I caught an error in the description.lua. This skin does not include GDR. Here is a modified version for the 3rd FAD that does: description.lua You'll probably want to reupload it to the MVP K52 server. The version I'll release in the JG1 Paint Pack will be modified to include GDR.

This looks amazing Vonrd! Really nice work!

Amazing job, Vonrd. And a very sad fate for such a cool aircraft.
