I agree going through a 30 gig witch hunt is crazy. But in IMO a specific DD set, with one (IE) "Big Beautiful Doll" 4k per aircraft type only makes sense. Later on as we do them, Individual DD Pilot skins would be nice. Or if we are doing a campaign together a Historical Squadron could easily be added in. Possibly we could post the skin as a poll before we just willy nilly push it up to the Skault??? It's a great prog FT is an extreme value, but the rest of us could turn his good work into a major resource hog full of trash.

Thanks Fen. Will do the updating malarky on my install now. Interesting quote from the above post regarding the MiG19; New cockpit and external model with VR improvements I've got the Harrier and the MiG19. In VR the Harrier is a much smoother, stutter-free experience than the MiG19. Interesting that VR performance can vary between planes in the same sim
