Very cool picture!

Looks like it was a lot of fun!

Mine too. :)

There are definitely two Fleetwood Macs, just as there are two bands called Genesis. I've heard it described as the Ship of Theseus paradox in band form.

He mentioned his old band Zoot in the interview. Zoot surprised me honestly with how good they were. Their cover of Eleanor Rigby, for example, is amazing. I posted it here back in 2019: https://forum.jg1.org/topic/2038-what-are-you-guys-listening-to/?do=findComment&comment=48282 Peter Green was a genius. And while I enjoy some post-Green Fleetwood Mac, it saddens me that his talent and vision was eclipsed by Rumours and everything that came after. I often wonder what would have happened if Peter Green hadn't succumb to his illness. Either way, for me, Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac is the most pure version of that band.

It looks great, Vonrd! Thanks!

Hi Von, I would love one if you have time. I was thinking something based on this RNAS skin: https://www.tomgunn.co.uk/product/wow291-handley-page-rn-version/ The images on the page can be embiggened. Everything the same. Red nacelles. Except change the white trim and props out for pink. KR on the fuselage. And maybe this Ignatz somewhere on the aircraft?

Cool. Am interested in checking it out.

Yowzah

Wow, that's crazy. I see the update in my task bar right now. Kinda scared to load it.

This looks like it was a lot of fun! I'm so sorry that I missed it.

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.
