So a few days ago I asked the question on ammo loadouts, whats the difference between blue and orange coloured ammo on the equipment screen. I since found the answer for those that are interetsed. Blue = Armour Peircing - Orange = High Explosive So in other words, Blue for PK and engine hits, and Orange for control surfaces and blowing bits off your target. Thank me later.

STOP PRESS: IGNORE THE POINTS ABOUT ICONS - WE NOW HAVE A SOLUTION FOR NO GROUND UNITS BUT PLANE ICONS ON! Salute We are going to have another go at running the tank event as it seemed that people did actually like it! However... I have taken on board some of the comments that I received and suggestions as to what could have made it even better for everyone. To this end I am going to make the following changes. 1. We will run the event with icons on. This will enable the fighter jocks to have more fun with each other and we will also have icons on the map s

Morning Gents After having spoken to Jabo and Tbone it was decided to start two subforums, one for skins and skinning resources, the other for Mods. This has been done for housekeeping and a bit of clarity really. If you started a thread that you have in another post and you think it would be better in one of the new subforums please PM Jabo and he will move it across. Your thread can still be seen in it's original place but there is a link that will take you to the new position. Ta very much.

Debrief for the 14th November 1944: 370th FG: 402nd - Bombing of rail targets, Bonn. 485th - Patrol for Air Targets over Front Lines, Gerolstein-Nettersheim sector 410th BG - Bombing of infantry positions near Nettersheim. The 402nd under the charge of Capt. Efftee led a highly successful mission; excellent bombing results in Bonn wiped out the briefed rail targets plus a smattering of peripheral trucks and AAA. As the squadron circled the city trying to pick out any other targets Red 4 2nd Lt. Bowen spotted bogeys to

Up until recently I have used two separate mods for icons: 1. ICON_D_D_NL_SM_T As a default, this mod gives me a small red triangle/square over air/ground objects, removes arrows pointing to other aircraft and removes range and name information. 2. Icon_Map_Other_Planes_Off_3010C_2-15 As a default, this mod clears all aircraft icons off the pilot/driver's large map and minimap leaving pilot aircraft icon only. I have now combined these two mods into one mod and have named it 'Dogz Icon Mod v1.00' (bit presumptious of me, sorry) and it is the one I use but it is optional

As John Mayer is a bit poorly, David Crosby would like to do A20 stuff while John gets better

Just in case.... Sorry, just posted and did'nt realize they would come up so big. Both are PNG's so can be used easily

A. To install JSGME if you currently do not have it. If you do have it, then move to B. 1. Download JSGME (Jones Generic Mod Enabler) from: https://www.softpedia.com/get/Others/Miscellaneous/Generic-Mod-Enabler.shtml#download 2. Unzip JSGME to a temporary folder, and run jsgme_setup.exe, install it to your BOS game folder 3. Run JSGME.exe that was placed in that folder. It will start and a screen will display, it will show you the standard folder it will create where your MODS need to be placed. 4. Now close JSGME. This sets up the proper location for the JSGME MODs folder for your

402nd: I am truly impressed with what we did this mission, and how we did it. We hit our main target hard, and dealt with targets of opportunity as well. And all of that in a coordinated and efficient manner. Great teamwork ... And all of us landed back at home base. Y'all made this Capt. rather proud! Thanks Guys!!

I shall do that and reupload the zip to the first post 👍

I will be there tonight.

370th FG Awards and Promotions: None. Personnel: We welcome Captain Frank Priory to the 485th as a new Flight Commander; he's an experienced P-38 pilot, having flown a tour in the Aleutians and done a spell of instructing. Rosters:

Debrief for the 11th November 1944: 370th FG: 402nd - Escort of RAF B-25s to Krefeld. 485th - Patrol for Air Targets over Front Lines, Gymnich-Düsseldorf sector 410th BG - Bombing of convoy near Düsseldorf Another longer range mission mission today. The 485th ran their air patrol but yet again the Luftwaffe refrained our advances and so they took to harassing the Krauts on the ground; however the Flak arm put up a great deal of resistance and for once inhibited the usually robust 485th efforts. 2nd Lt.

Axis!

P.s. Im dreading the P51D folder, I've already seen how big it is.

Two 4K skins for the Ju88A4 depicting the colour scheme used by II Gruppe, Lehrgeschwader 1 whilst flying on anti shipping duties from Crete 1942. One skin has no codes, the other is L1+EN.

Seen some pictures of bare metal and wood MiG 3s so decided to give it a go. Nice contrast to the camo ones I think. One is blank, one has basic markings, one is White 46

Define 'Sticky Bum Dancing"? is it like Greasy Bum Sex? My OH, ususally just sits in front of her phone all night shopping, and when she demands we watch TV for an evening, she sits and looks at her phone shopping. while I am forced to watch programmes no sane man would watch.

Siobhan, (my good lady), gives me a hard time if I don’t fly !

Sorry I didnt make it on, Mrs was giving me a hard time as I was on on Sunday and will be on tonight. 😕 Spent the night watching the kids play Subnautica. 'Badly' lol

Good session last night Sidly, thanks for the info 👍🏻

Just checking through the skin folders to see whats in there. So far some very good skins, but also some really poorly designed ones., is there a way we can implement a 'vote off' in other words really bad skins people dont use, can be removed, to save on everyones hard disk space... Ideally I would like to post a photo of what I think are bad skins, and everyone can vote to keep or delete. then the deleted ones can be blacklisted from CHSkins? I know ones mans trash is another mans treasure., but trust me some are so bad I cant imagine anyone using them. report so far as follows: (I will

An A20 skin based on the F7F Tigercat 'La Patrona' that graces the skies over Reno in the Unlimited Class Air Racing Competition.....the 'Lucky 4' of us saw it when we went although she unfortunately suffered an oil leak and had to withdraw. I think it suits the A20 beautifully.

Yes there was indeed AAAA, “Ample Anti Aircraft Artillery “. Bad luck this time 485th, absolutely no sign of enemy aircraft from beginning to end. Even though we were supposed to be selective when it came to ground attack, ie not attacking massed AAA for the sake of it or alone, we still sustained damaged and lost airframes either through direct AAA hits or aggressive scenery. 2nd Lt John Mayer was injured and now has the full attention of several nursing personnel which I’m told he insists is “no more than a necessary evil” 2nd Lt Funflaque was also injured but we expect him

Reporting for duty, will be on just before 9

I'm in ...but as a pilot - German side bitte!

Found the attached over at SGC. The tank video within this video comes from World of Tanks but he talks about actual tank data so if TC is modelled as it claims to be, what he says should still be relevant.

Reporting for duty skipper 👍🏻

Major Fen, could you assign 2Lt. Denis Richard to the 410th BG tomorrow if possible. Merci

Downloaded new version

EDIT: I have updated 'Dogz Icon Mod - No ground icons v1.00' to v2.00. The zip file has been changed too so if you have already downloaded v1.00 please update to v2.00. I changed it because in v1.00 the tank icon shows up on the maps when you fly over them - it appears as a little 'maggot' thing. I have removed the 'maggot' in V2.00 so that there are no visible icons for tanks only (other vehicles eg. trucks still show up on maps) from the air or on the maps.

I have been thinking about what I can do to get the fighter jocks a bit more involved, so, I will have a look

Yes it would

Thanks for taking on feedback and working on improvement. I'm in . Would it be cheeky to ask that fighters could take bombs too ?

Weeee ! You said the PP word Arjen 😵 “RPM Sidly” will go into one 🤫

Allies for me please

Excellent! Allies again for me please and I've d/l'ed the new icon arrangement

Downloaded installed

Yes I have and Sid being the genius he is converting the file, we now have the right solution, plane icons but no ground icons, so everyone wins! You will need to apply the attached file into JGSME and apply the mod. It is in our downloads and get it here

thats sounds like a plan. I had a little fly about tonight, I couldnt even get the He111 off the ground, had a pair of 1800lb boms on board. i couldnt get the thing close to 200Kmh. was a grass runway though. Love the Ju88 though, that thing is manouevrable and fast for a bomber! landing was a bit of a catastrophe though.

I got around to patching this yesterday, all 29 gigs of it! Had a bimble around the grand canyon then somewhere in England (don't actually know where i clicked, somewhere in the middleish!). Turned everything up to Ultra for shits and giggles, and in 4K, my eight core overclocked to 5.0Ghz and Rtx 2080Ti with 11gig of memory and superfast fibre, can just about get mid 30's fps, lol. But, but, those clouds are so bloody amazing!

So, it's a DRAW... Brilliant. What I learned from watching this video? 17 minutes of my day .... TANKED! Thanks Colin!
