Very cool! Have great memories of those games.

Wow, didn't see this coming.

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

Looks like you all had a ton of fun! Great seats too!

Thanks @Vonrd, got it.

Yeah, definitely! I'm going to enjoy watching this @Snaggle.

Thanks Von. Let me know when the post the skin and I'll add it to the next pack.

That's a really good looking coin! Love the Hawker Hurricane!

No worries, Von. The update I was sitting on was so large that I needed to publish. However, I always expected you to keep posting new liveries. All, here is the link to Wee Willie: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3332471/

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.

Looks like it was a really fun day!

Looks great, Vonrd. When they post the link, let us know.

Thanks so much @Balge! This is great information! Some of the Buneswehr terms and acronyms are very familiar to me. But others are very strange. TaktLwG for example. I think it's that I'm too used to WW1/2 and East Germany. An OPSO is an Operations Officer. Basically, an air planning specialist who helps coordinate the wing in its joint operations.

Thanks. Also, here are the B-17s: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3332180/ https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3332179/

After looking around, yes. I think this is correct. Maybe @Balge can offer some help. Since you specifically mentioned Taktisches Luftwaffengeschwader 73 "Steinhoff", this is I believe their structure (post 2013 realignment): Stab TaktLwG 73 (HQ) Kommodore (CO) Adjutant Kommodore (XO) S1 Offizier - Personalwesen (human resources) S2 Offizier - Militärische Sicherheit und militärisches Nachrichtenwesen (military security and military intelligence) S3 Offizier - Einsatz, Organisation und Ausbildung (deployment, organization and training) S4 Offizier - Logistik (logistics) S6 Offizier - IT und Kommunikation (IT and communications) FlgGrp TaktLwG 73 (Fliegende Gruppe - Flying Group) Kommandeur Stellvertretender Kommandeur (Deputy Commander) TGrp TaktLwG 73 (Technische Gruppe - Technical Group) Kommandeur Stellvertretender Kommandeur (Deputy Commander)

The Bundeswehr is the German Armed Forces in total. First of just West Germany. Then of unified Germany. It includes the German Army (Heer), the German Navy (Deutsche Marine) and the German Air Force (Luftwaffe). During the German Empire and Weimar Republic eras, the total Armed Forces of Germany was called the Reichswehr. And during the Nazi Germany period, it was called the Wehrmacht. Let me do some more research for you. I'll see what I can find. Of course! Glad to help.

Hi @Collider, welcome! Most of my experiences have been researching the squadrons of the Deutsche Luftstreitkräfte (WW1), the WW2-era Luftwaffe, and the Luftstreitkräfte der Nationalen Volksarmee (East German Air Force). So, I'm not completely familiar with the modern Bundeswehr. However, it is my understanding that the modern Luftwaffe is very much based on USAF standards. Luftwaffe wings, for example, have received extensive training in the United States since 1958. Whereas, the East German LSK was brought up to VVS standards, with some WW2 Luftwaffe traditions retained. Taktisches Luftwaffengeschwaders, like TaktLwG 73, are led by a Kommodore who usually holds the rank of an Oberst (Colonel). This is basically the same as a USAF Wing Commander. TaktLwG 73: https://www.bundeswehr.de/de/organisation/luftwaffe/organisation-/luftwaffentruppenkommando/taktisches-luftwaffengeschwader-73-steinhoff Under the Kommodore, there would be an Adjutant (Executive Officer - XO). Probably an Oberstleutant (Lieutenant colonel) or Major. There would then be Sachgebiete (subject areas), each with their own commanders, probably in the Hauptleute (captains - OF-2) range. These subject areas are usually: S1 - Personalwesen (human resources) S2 - Militärische Sicherheit und militärisches Nachrichtenwesen (military security and military intelligence) S3 - Einsatz, Organisation und Ausbildung (deployment, organization and training) S4 - Logistik (logistics) S6 - IT und Kommunikation (IT and communications) The flying group is then usually divided into three or four Staffeln (squadrons). TaktLwG 51, for example, has 1. Staffel (Tornados), 2. Staffel (UAVs) and 4. Staffel (Tornados). Each of these Staffeln would be led by a Kommandeur of probably a Hauptleute (captains - OF-2) rank. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taktisches_Luftwaffengeschwader_51_„Immelmann“ Not sure if that helps. And of course, not being an expert, I could be wrong on a few details.

You had made one, but as I said, the roundel on the underwing was flipped.

These look great, Von! Nice job! Definitely post the links when you have it. Also, did you still want to fix the East German F-14 skin? The roundel is flipped under the wing. Thanks!

Me too, honestly.

Glad you guys got the chance to fly!

@wheelsup_cavu - nice landing save! Coming back damaged with limited controls is always a nail-biter.

Regarding desk mounts, I use Monstertech: https://www.monstertechusa.com/ Great product.
