Hi @Heiwen Sophe, Welcome! Thanks for posting and filling out an application. I'll email you at the address you registered with. Looking forward to talking with you more soon!

We noticed that when it's activated (and others have it activated as well), it seems to drop the volume. Moxy and Vonrd can better explain.

Thanks for the heads up!

Hi @mpflyboy1, my apologies for not getting back to you right away. With the holidays, I've been running around and haven't had any time at the keyboard. I'll send you an email to the address you registered with. Looking forward to talking with you more soon!

I'm so glad you got it! What an awesome hit.

Yeah, I think this is a bunch of films that have been cut together. At 6:58, you can see Göring, which means it jumped from August 1917 (the award ceremony with the Kaiser, near Courtrai) to Summer 1918.

Salute All, The Flanders In Flames 2021 Fall Campaign has come to an end. And with it, a great calendar year of campaigns, friendship, and fun. From Rise of Flight in January to IL-2 in the Spring to Flying Circus in the Autumn. A big congratulations to the Blue Team, who has decisively won the Fall offensive, taking victories in Phase A and Phase B. Let us not forget the dogged determination and tenacity of the Red Team, however, as they fought throughout the campaign (often heavily outnumbered) to make Phase B a pretty close match. Flanders In Flames will return after a brief break! In the meantime, Jasta 5 will be running the second part of the Polish-Soviet War 1920 in January. Make sure to head over to their post and vote. Thanks again to everyone who made this Flanders event successful. Let us lift our glasses filled with our favorite libations and toast our virtual opponents. Prost! Salut! . . . To celebrate the conclusion of the Winter Campaign, here is the FIF campaign ribbon. Blue for the Blue Team. Red for the Red Team. Large version: Small version: And as always, thank you to every pilot who flew! Without your continued support, this tournament would not be able to function!

Had a great time last night.

All, Small update to the MiG-15bis skins to correct a lua issue. Please download the pack again. Thanks!

Hi @NavyDoc, sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I'll send you an email to the address you registered with. Looking forward to talking with you more soon!

Hi @Kotori87, you've been added to the Red Team. This Saturday at 2PM EST / 7PM UTC is the last mission for this campaign. You should already have Red Team access on Discord.

Called the JG-1 DDR pack, it includes everything posted here: https://forum.jg1.org/topic/7959-official-jg1-skins/?do=findComment&comment=73670 Additionally, it includes: ▓ Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-15bis [15 December 2021] ▓ ▶ JG-1 1956 ▶ JG-1 1956 Bare metal ▶ JG-1 1959 - Camo [based on MiG-15UTI] ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ DO NOT AUTO-EXTRACT, as parent folders have been included to help you find the proper location. It is highly recommended that you hand-place the skin folders into their appropriate location: X:\Users\[NAME]\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Liveries\Bf-109K-4 X:\Users\[NAME]\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Liveries\Fw-190A8 X:\Users\[NAME]\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Liveries\FW-190D9 X:\Users\[NAME]\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Liveries\M-2000C X:\Users\[NAME]\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Liveries\MiG-15bis X:\Users\[NAME]\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Liveries\MiG-19P X:\Users\[NAME]\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Liveries\MiG-21bis

Cool, I'll post them tomorrow.

They look great @Vonrd! Sorry for taking so long to get back to you. The only thing I noticed is that I don't think the camouflaged versions of the MiG-15 had the black walk strip on the wing. But that's super minor. If you're happy with them, I'll upload them to the paint pack. I think they came out awesome!

Looks like a pretty wicked engagement!

Considering how much I generally dislike Christmas music, I love how dark this is.

Zatch has been assigned to the Red Team. He now has Red Team access on Discord. Please remind him that the event is dead-is-dead. Thanks!

I like it. Let's use both. Are you going to make a post-1959 camo version, based on the MiG-15UTI trainer? If so, will you use black bort numbers?

Got him. Red Team. Thanks!

Hi BarSS, you've been assigned to the Blue Team. Hi @Flatspin, Hawg has been assigned to the Red Team.

@Vonrd, I finally had the chance to download and check out the second skin you made. The one with the lacquer. I honestly really like it a lot! It's shiny and new. And looks like what I've seen in photographs from 1956. But since you overwrote it, I wasn't able to check out the silvered version. Looking at East German 1950s photographs, I just can't tell if the Germans painted them. But based on this MiG-15UTI from the Rothenburg museum, I want to say they did. Here is a link to the photograph: https://www.airliners.net/photo/East-Germany-Air-Force/Mikoyan-Gurevich-MiG-15UTI/4392697/L?qsp=eJwljUEKwjAQRe/y13WhgmJ26kJcFF14gSEZ2mJ1wmRAQ%2BndTePu8T68P8HL2/hrjxwZDolJfY8GkZReCW7Ck/NHNBRGe72sNvtl7cXkTMadaIY7NEiidiqIUOzRe47GAX9/08C6TJx8TXflal2A9V4Z213xYUhxpNpgo2HEPP8ArQM0WQ%3D%3D Honestly, I don't want to take away your fun. So, if you want to make a painted version and a silvered version, I'd be okay with that. So long as the silvered version isn't too bright.

Yuri Tepsurkaev is an artist involved in a number of Russian language publications: http://redstarsart.blogspot.com/2011/06/art-of-yuri-tepsurkaev.html?m=1 http://acepilots.com/russian/rus_aces.html According to his corrections of other people’s comments, some MiG-15s in Korea were opaquely lacquered to reduce the shine from the natural metal. This wasn’t specific to any season or year. Just something they did. However, aircraft left the factory in natural metal. Additionally, all/most paints used in Korea came from Soviet supplies. I have to assume that this is the case with East Germany after 1956. At least at the beginning. https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234949599-mig-15-korean-war-camo-colours/&do=findComment&comment=1451102 He also said this about the aluminum lacquer: https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234949599-mig-15-korean-war-camo-colours/&do=findComment&comment=1451131 So, based on this, I have to assume that within the Korea War, MiGs arrived in natural metal. And that some units (at least those in close contact with Soviet ground personnel) painted them gray to reduce the shine. I’m purposely ignoring camouflage markings, as that complicated things. But that other units, especially Chinese and North Korean squadrons, may have left the aircraft in natural metal. Perhaps @Firefly could give us a hand understanding this? There aren’t a lot of English-language sources that I can find. Regardless, for a 1956 LSK MiG-15bis, I’d have to assume they’d hold to Soviet standards and want to reduce shine. But again, I have no proof.
