Skins pack for the P38 has been uploaded to the Vault - It's basically all the 4K skins you get for the P38 using Chkskins but this does include all the personalised skins used by the squad in the P38 campaign. Might be useful for the new guys flying in the campaign.

Sorry about this one Gents. Didn't mean to make it look like a Rage quit, I had chores on backorder, and I was a bit sore at myself. Thats twice I've lawn darted. Post (mortem) Flight: Great fun in formation, you looked great out there 485th. Watching the 402nd chew into those 88's was good fun until the 190's dropped in. From there it became a bit of a mad house. Crash and I blew through the merge and stayed high on Fen and Bob's 6 to let them work, but on the second circle I called out engaging as a 190 climbed up in front of me. A few bursts and the canopy popped and he went down flaming. Before I can find him I hear Crash in trouble but I tunneled on the 190 and had no idea where he went. Sorry for loosing you Crash. And I damn near did it again, sorry Mick, I looked but didnt see you tailing that FW and he was big as Christmass in perfect position for a bounce. I think I need more stick time with you fellows as Im a little out of sync. Painless found some ground targets, and we decended to bust some howitzers. He smoked most of the line and I lined up to pick up the stragglers and thats when it happened. Didn't think it was that steep either, but sure as shooting, she just didn't pull up and I clipped the trees level at 5 feet. I really do enjoy and look forward to these missions, Thank you for putting them on Tom. Hopefully the 3rd time's the charm.

You slut !

Firstly, thank you Tom for accommodating the test this evening, it is very much appreciated. It is unfortunate that just after take off I encountered a 'word strike' (it occurred on spawn in but this doesn't fit the narrative...)....see attached piccie. I and my flight of four AI had begun to climb so as my field of view was drastically limited I ordered the AI to land. I couldn't see the airfield so I followed them back and landed successfully...see attached piccie. My AI landed successfully too. What really happened was that on spawn in I still had the ready screen in front on me. This hasn't happened to me before on any occasion. I had all controls and instruments functional but no HUD. The AI started engines and waited. I tried the only three things I could think of that wouldn't take me out of the server.....Crtl Alt Delete and come back in, Esc and Alt Tab. None of them worked, the ready screen remained. So, I decided to test out the AI. I taxied and took off....so did they. I climbed out...so did they. In order to keep a persona I decided that instead of following the waypoints for an hour or so with limited vision I would land. I couldn't see the airfield very well so I ordered the AI to land....they did. I followed them in and landed. All in all, a pain because of the view but at least I know that the AI follow and do as they are told. Hopefully the next one will work as it should....
