Klaiber

You've been assigned to the Blue Team. Thanks!

Okay, I've been doing research on the MIG-15's markings. The overall "natural metal finish" of the MiG-15 is not natural. If you look at period photographs and museum examples, you can see that the aircraft are actually uniformly painted in a lacquer with aluminum powder in it. In fact, there should be no transparency through the lacquer whatsoever. The aircraft are completely covered and thus opaque. https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235049698-soviet-natural-metal/ I also found this Soviet color reference chart, including WW2 colors and Modern colors: http://www.ipmsstockholm.org/colorcharts/stuff_eng_colorcharts_soviet.htm If you're looking to reproduce the aluminum lacquer, WW2 "medium grey" is a good choice: http://www.colorserver.net/showcolor.asp?fs=26493 Does this help? Here is a period example: And here are some Museum versions:

Very cool!

Your insight was really good too. Enjoyed hearing your take on the fight.

Hi @rustpuppet, Sorry for the delayed response! There are still a few JG1 members who remember the old RB3D days, myself included. It seems like a lifetime ago. Either way, I'll send you an email to the address you registered with. I am looking forward to talking with you more soon.

Great video! Glad you were able to get involved with Enigma's Ace series. Very nice plug too!

Hi @OG_NickNack68, you've been added to the Red Team. Make sure to join FIF Discord: https://discord.gg/HVmET2AmbZ All of the team discussions happen there. And that is where the server password is passed out. Should you have any questions, just let me know.

@genericpilot - is this because you would like to reuse your email address on these boards? You shouldn't be getting any spam from us. And this website is secure. Honestly, I'm hesitant to delete your account, as you've asked numerous questions in the DCG section that could be useful to future guests.

Hey Vogel, glad to hear that you're doing well!

Hi @J99*Tornik and @JG99*Bodo - you both have been added to the Blue Team, with the rest of Jasta 99.

Currently, there is no way that I know of to change the convergence. The default convergence for each aircraft should be within the manual for each aircraft. It's been a wishlist item for a while.

That was very well done.

This looks great @Rotermann. Thanks!

I'd be game if you give me a few minutes. Am on Discord and TS.

Very cool! I have the basic controls down for the Hornet but haven't gotten into it. I love the F-14A/B, though.

@Nieucross, very nice screenshots! What aircraft do you generally fly in DCS?

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

I should also mention that the upcoming U.S. Thanksgiving might slow communications down a bit. Apologies in advance!

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

It's probably for the "sizzle." Not sure if that completely translates, but basically the sensational publicity.

I think @Moxy was telling me about this video and how the Fw 190A-8 dwarfed the Bf 109G-6 I love the 3./JG 1 paint scheme!

There are issues with the stats this time around. The stats page wasn't updated to the most recent version (1.2.58 ) because we were trying to maintain the functionality of our tank stats (using a modification that wasn't updated to handle 1.2.58. Things were generally fine up until we added the Breguet to the plane-set. Once the Breguet was there, the stats got confused, and I think they jumbled. Now that we've abandoned the tank stats mod and have fully updated to 1.2.58, things should be okay. Sorry for the trouble.
