    So maybe your nickname should be 'TakAtak' as in the Battle of Britain 'Watch out for me Simon....TakAtakAtakAtak!' 

  7. Hunter....!!!

    It is worth the effort BB. It's a joy to look at and is easy to fly. I did a circuit today from Gloucestershire Airport, touch and go at Birmingham then west to the Welsh coast. Turned south and followed the coast back up the River Severn to Gloucester. Did it at real time and with live traffic. Great views of the aircraft at 30,000ft and at sea level. No piccies and no vid but it looks brilliant....

    Fix it...you won't regret it...

  8. Hunter....!!!

    Not bad. I sat in the one at RAF St Mawgen last month and it was small.....so is this. It doesn't compete with the best cockpits available but it's not far off with resolution and overall look. There is a payware in the pipeline but this will do until then. It's clickable...not that that interests me.

    As a free package I think it is very good. The externals are excellent.

    I'm a huge Hunter fan so I am grateful for anything I can get....

  11. P51D15NA

    in Aircraft & Tank Skins (By Type)

    Still a work in progress but almost there.....

    Changed some colours, found a way to get the D Day stripes without making them, fiddling around with metal colours and reflectivity...a learning curve indeed.

    P51D is a popular aircraft and is pretty well covered with skins but if anyone has a request I will crack on with it. Shiny/dirty, silver/green/combination, nose colours etc., all good practice :)

    This official template is one of the best.

  12. Airfields for jets

    in IL-2 Sturmovik: Great Battles Series

    Posted

    Chaps/Meine Herren

    If you are looking for an airfield that can land and allow enough room for a take off run for the Ar234 and Me262 on the Bodenplatt map, try these airfields in 'Quick mission builder'. If you find any others please post name and map square in this thread. See this thread https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/79119-airfields-for-jets/

    Rheine           0628

    Hopsten        0529

    Hesepe         0431

    Twente         0624

    Achmer        0531

    Munster       0930

    Vorden         0432

    If you air start on the map try landing first and then take off - I haven't selected an air start with the Rocket assist packs attached yet so I'm not sure if they stay on. Try the drogue chute on the Ar234, it works a treat....although....once used, that's it. Can't do circuits and bumps with one drogue....Alternatively, select a ground start for your mission and maybe it will place you on one of these airfields.

    Hint ALWAYS use Rocket assist on the Ar234 to take off, apparently that is what happened in ops. Select them in the 'Modifications' list. Activate by using the 'Rocket' key, hold down though, it isn't 'one press' like firing a rocket weapon. Once in the air, release the button and release them using the 'Jettison weapons' key.

  14. Mosquito MkVI

    A set of 3 semi historical PRU skins for the Mossie FBVI based on schemes worn by BMkIV photo recce variants. BMkIVs had the glazed nose. Please note 2 skins per aircraft.

    Lighter blue was for high level use, darker was for low level.

  16. Ju88 C6

    in Aircraft & Tank Skins (By Type)

    Posted

    A skin for the Ju88C-6 depicting a Ju88S-1 night fighter of I/KG 66 operating from Dedelsdorf in the winter of 1944/45. S-1s were equipped with the German 'Y-Gerat' (or Wotan) beam system used to direct individual fighters to an intercept of enemy bombers. The aircraft had a fake glazed nose painted on in the hope of confusing the enemy into thinking it was a bomber not a fighter....sneaky beakies!!

  25. Mossie mission!!

    in IL-2 Sturmovik: Great Battles Series

    Posted

    Wow....fun or what!! Friar's Mossie Mission to destroy the tunnel entrance worked a treat....it is a treat. Well done mate!!

    Tried it on my own as a singleton. Take off and low level run 100ft, few trees excepted, all the way. Max engine settings (3000 rpm 23 boost on last bit) equalled @ 310 mph so very exciting. Most flak guns were above me and didn't lower to engage, down amongst the trees along the river. Got to target. popped up to clear the buildings and caught some rounds in the engines but could carry on. Dropped 2 x 500 lbs and boom.....

    Thanks Col :) On my list of coops 👍
