High resolution cockpits
Page here says it all https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/60671-mod-4k-cockpits-for-bosbombokbobp-planes/ Basically the cockpit resolutions have been doubled, those that are 1k to 2k, those that are 2k to 4k. The U2VS is already 4k so isn't included.
I have created this zip file in which there is a folder I created called "Oyster_KAI HiRes Cockpits 21Apr20". Inside that is the "data" folder and the folder structure for use with JSGME. Unzip and place the "Oyster_KAI HiRes Cockpits 21Apr20" in your Mods folder and enable it as usual. There are common files with the "polished canopies" mod so it will ask if you want to proceed, just say yes, the polished canopies mod will appear "greyed out". The "....21Apr20" part of the folder name is the day I created it.
It is 1.64 KB when zipped, 2.51 GB unzipped. I will try to keep it updated.

Dogz Icon Mod
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 I know others have their favourites.
I have also converted the above mod for use in tank battles only and called it 'Dogz Icon Mod - Tank battles v2.00' . It is meant for tank battles such as Friar's recent scenario and has what the previous mod has EXCEPT there are NO ground icons and NO tank icons on the maps.
Please note that there are 2 separate mods in the zip file and only one should be activated via JSGME at any one time.
Please note that they should be considered a work in progress.

Tank crew positions and associated actions, views and keys
By Sid in IL-2 Great Battles Series
Maybe some of you will find these useful...
I have attached a jpeg piccie each for Allied and Axis that shows, by type, the actions and default key mappings for each crew position. I found it really useful to go through the positions and try the mappings available to see what occurred. I found some interesting stuff eg.
How to get the Su122 gunsight working Topic here
KV1 commander operates the rearward firing machine gun from within the turret
Lots of visor views
The Sherman visors are height and horizontally adjustable so they fit your field of vision
Some of the views from the gunner’s visor positions in some of the tanks would in real-life be from the loader’s position. This position isn’t modelled hence the view from the opposite side of the main gun when cycling through the gunner’s visor views
Russian gunsights have extra zoom....German don't
If you have a look and find something on them that may not be right or have found something else please let me know 🙂

Sherman navigation/observation exercise
By Sid in Missions and Mission Packs
Want to have a go at something different, bit of fun? Got a pen and paper handy?
I have attached a zip file containing a navigation and observation exercise using a Sherman. The route is below along with some questions along the way. It shouldn't take more an hour. Run it with the Tank Icons mod on or 'Icons/navigation off' as it wouldn't be as effective otherwise. Unzip the file into your data/missions folder, there should be 10 files beginning "Navigation exercise Sherman". It isn't a Multiplayer, it is a Mission.
Apart from one, all of the sections of the route are on a heading but there are some sections of the route that are distanced, some are timed and some are on a heading to something specific as well. This will give you a few references to help you on your way and confirm some waypoints. When driving the engine is at 100% throughout.
Ignore the route and waypoints on the mission map apart from the start point, I made it with the quick tank mission builder so they appear even though they aren't needed. Don't expect to shoot things, we have the Tank range for that Use the HUD if you want but it can be done by using the compass.

Tanks merging
By Sid in IL-2 Great Battles Series
This is a .zip file containing 2 x mp4 videos of the tanks merging, recorded from the tracks created on 31 Dec 20 by Painless, Sweper and me on the Tank Crew Dogfight map. I am in the Panther, Painless is in the camo T34, Sweper in the plain T34. We tried it both inside and outside the Flag area just in case there was some issue. As can be seen, the issue is between Sweper and me, Painless is unaffected 😏
To run the tracks in game place the TRK Files and their File folders into the 'data/Tracks' folder of your game. They can be viewed via 'Flight Records' in the hangar screen.

A20 firefighters
Something different and colourful perhaps? The attached skins are A20s in semi historical colour schemes. The firefighting schemes were worn by F7F Tigercats flown by SisQ in California. The firefighters are an interesting project and make a real contrast to drab colours...the only thing missing is the fire retardant powder tank fitted underneath. A20s had a large belly fuel tank used for ferrying....maybe that will appear in an update....
