-Hawkeye-

I only would have gotten 3 out of 5 without cheating. The top one, 5 of 8. I might have added Lee to that if I could have seen his top wing, though. It's only because I could see a tiny bit of Hotlead's wing that made it recognizable to me.

Works for me! And so true. I've been spending a lot of time lately researching personal paint schemes of German aces in my "XXXX Aces of World War 1" series (insert plane type). One thing that is confusing is how a Staffed commander's paint scheme is handled when he's promoted to a higher position such as Geschwader commander of the same group. Many, if not most of these remained actively flying. Some of these kept some, or in some cases all of the elements of their previous staffel design. Others eventually changed it totally (Goring is an example of that). Some famous schemes were handed down intact to other pilots; some of Udet's actually came from Kirschstein and he simply added his simple "LO" to the side, and later kept some of the elements such as the striped wings on his later schemes. There are other examples of that too. So your (or our) situation is actually pretty historical, really.

Still, it's not necessary to have, but only a convenience, now that it's already been done. I'm sure somebody else must already have half black / half yellow. The only really truly historical universal wheel design for J10 is all yellow. But that's kinda boring.

I feel like shit, do you have that wheel pattern on other plane skins?

Thanks!

Well that was a mistake. I was about to comment on the similarity of my D.Va wheels and Brit's. Then I went into RoF and looked at the JG1 skins. Damned if I didn't somehow duplicate Brit's wheels without even knowing about it. It was about to become a design element on all of my planes. I need to have a careful look at all of our previous skins to make sure I'm not inadvertently copying elements of other people's designs. Brit / Vonrd, please let me know what you'd like me to do, considering I've copied you by accident. My skins can be altered and re-uploaded if you want. S! BTW Klaiber reacted to my original post, not this completely different edited version. I'm sure he was unaware of my mistake when he reacted.

Just a reminder that the original file should be A_FDr1_JG1_Luftritter.dds and the newer version would be A_FDr1_JG1_Luftritter_J10.dds So people could have them in any combination without causing any trouble. For all other planes I plan on sticking to the first naming convention, without anything after the name. Just this one case is an exception or modification to that format.

Re-reading this I think I misinterpreted and you only meant the file name? If so perfectly fine with me, but I'll need to know the final decision, as I'll need to make mine match everyone else's. I just thought that if anybody was looking at file names alone, they'd have some idea as to which was what. B and no B could be anything; J10 at least gives some idea as to what it might be. I bow to the will of the people.

Naw....I love the old one as an all-out circus type skin which I would never throw away, because Vonrd and I worked so hard on it (ok, it was 95% Vonrd and a little Larner ). Also, what's the harm in keeping it? The main thing is if/when I use it, other JG1 will be able to see it/them. Shouldn't really be any confusion, if they're both in there they'll see whatever I'm wearing; and I don't really expect that others will be choosing those skins....and if they did want to, the J10 suffix should make it clear for anybody familiar with JG1 paint schemes....even though in-game they will see the actual skin in front of them. If that's not condoned I would let the original one go, but I'd hate to see that happen after all of the hard work put in by Vonrd, Larner, and to a far lesser extent, I.

Another Dr.I skin by Larner, this time with a J10 theme befitting my new Jagdstaffel: Download link: Luftritter J10 Dr.I Admins, I request that this skin be added into our Consolidated Downloads skin pack. Please rename the file A_FDr1_JG1_Luftritter_J10.dds before adding it to our skin pack, or if you download it individually and add it to your game singly, in order to differentiate between it and my other Dr.I skin. Thanks!!

Extra time to save up your pennies!

Seems like you may have missed the boat, bud. It's almost noon GMT, and you only had until 9:00 am GMT today!

Ha this guy has one of those in my home town!

If I could laugh any more today, I would. But it seems my mirth has a daily limit

Very well done, Firefly, Brit and Raz! Congratulations, well deserved!

Not a lot of people know this, but US103rd_Larner acted as the model for the British rear gunner

Geez, that's mighty decent of you, BvM! I'm not a DCS person but it's the thought that counts.

That did the trick, Maus. Thanks for the info! BTW, I never got any email @ Vonrd, I don't fool around with (using) such stuff

Thanks, because.....it still won't update.

That's what I'm getting. Gonna try what you said. Can't really see why I should have to do that though, nothing has ever failed to work in the past and I was fully up to date before trying this.

Dang, away from home base for 3-4 days, have to wait to get this. I predict some higher than normal activity on the FC servers this weekend

Saw that....a V-2 with American insignia on it. Odd. Hard to view that as any kind of recognition; more like an admonition, really.

I'll look for you on TS. Even if the server is empty at first, people generally start jumping on pretty quickly, once they see some pilots. S!

Anybody flying FC during today's FiF time slot? I plan on looking in and could use some help battling Camels if they're about. Also, any plans for Sunday? J6 used to be around then.

Do you do that with bombs on? 111 was kind of a sitting duck during the battle of Britain, wasn't it? I thought even the early model hurricanes had little trouble downing them.
