Even if you do not want to use the skin, could I ask that you download it so that you can see the others that do use it? Thankyou muchly. Friar

Salute I am working on some Panzer III missions and thanks to Sid I have posted below a skin that if you have a moment would ask that you save down so it can be used when we play them. The zip file contains two .dds files. Extract them both into the skins folder for the Panzer III-M Not essential, but would be nice if we are all dressed the same. Cheers Dogz_Pz.KpfwIII_Wiking_N111C&1#1.zip

Thanks Parts, much appreciated. I know the last couple of weeks have been a bit of a mess due to going on line. It is difficult to keep supplying fresh missions all the time, the hardest part being coming up with ideas strangely. Note: Did you mean to post your location in Windsor located in the US of A (or did I miss the sarcasm card?)

Hi @BluBear I used to use some prescription lens' for my Rift. They came from Germany and cost about £50. I sent them my prescription for each eye and they supplied the lens' that clipped over the rift lens. Best thing I did as I too have to wear glasses for distance. This is who I used. https://vr-lens-lab.com/ Cheers Friar

Salute, This poll is running over on the IL2 forum (link below if you want to go and vote). Shows we are not alone.... https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/73123-ages-of-the-flying-community/?tab=comments#comment-1109441

Yes, I actually re-read the full thread properly and saw that. Doh!

Perhaps those that use a wide variety of them could provide an explanation with screen shots as to what they do?

Perhaps it is time for us to update this thread....There may be ones being used that we do not know about that would be a good addition for everyone. I also get that mods are not everyone's cup of tea, but if it improves our experience in a fair and reasonable way, then perhaps they should be explored a bit more. Perhaps we could create a "Dogz Pack" that would be easy to apply via JSGME? The only ones I use are the ones Sid put together for tank and plane icons.

If we decide to accept it as an "Official Dogz Mod" then it would only be used by us on our closed co-op's. Because mods effect your local machine, so I could be running one and you not, so yes something like shell effects would need to be global and perhaps raises more questions, however being able to tune back the AI rear gunners if that could be isolated as a separate mod then that would be a good addition I think?

The one about the Mustang is from Sywell as well

Salute An absolute tremendous High Five to @BluBear for giving me the heads up about the "We have Ways of making You Talk" podcast. I have been listening to some fantastically interesting stuff whilst on walks and doing chores around the garden. I would like to STRONGLY recommend the following episode (which will probably have a lot of meaning for those that went to Normandy a while back. The episode is called "Walking The Normandy Ground". It is a chat with a tour guide who has worked the area for a number of years and his enthusiasm for the subject just pours out. Its about an hour, so download it and take it on a walk or kick back with a coffee. https://play.acast.com/s/wehaveways/344.walkingthenormandyground "Its a 10 from me!" Friar

Did you know a Typhoon weighed the same as 2 empty Spitfires...

Does anyone want to do another session? Do you have any questions, want to go over something? Anyone who missed the first one that now wants to see what it is about?

Whilst doing a bit of research for my next series of missions for Saturday Tank nights I have found this site; https://tanks-encyclopedia.com/ Looks to have lots and lots of tank information.

Salute, Due to myself wanting to get back into Assetto Corsa and Assetto Corsa Competizione, together with FT's favourite bar re-opening, we (well, myself and FT) we will no longer be playing Tank Crew on a Friday evening (UK/Europe time). If anyone wants to join me playing either of the driving simms on a Friday (UK time approx 19:30 onwards) then please let me know (prefer ACC but if it means driving with other Dogz, happy to drop back to AC). No doubt there may be the odd occasion where stars align and we decide to go back to it, but generally we won't be available. I know @APHill and @Perfesser joined us sometimes, so, sorry to them. Cheers Friar

Hey Reggie - myself and FT will probably be on playing Tank Crew this evening.

Just a heads up to any one that has not been following the Euro Football ("soccer" ) championships...England are in the final on Sunday evening, playing Italy. The first time we have reached a final since 1966, 55 years! Although I was not due to be there, I would not have been there if I was....

I am around this afternoon if you wanted to try some stuff Reggie (Friday 9th)

I have just added it to my bookmarks and tried to connect. It has a lobby and lots of different language rooms split into spectators, Allied and Axis as well as a Tank Crew channel. Might be worth trying on a Friday / Saturday Tank night.

Nice video swep.

Here is mine...

Thanks to everyone that attended yesterday. Hope I did not get too carried away and "bamboozled" you! As I did not record it I will try and start a series of bite size videos which covers what we went over. I will also send out the two user guides I have to those that attended I am happy to do more of these if anyone wants it, also happy to try and answer any follow-up questions.

Dang, TOAD, hope you get sorted soon. Yes I will try and record it if I can, always willing to assist another time.

Yep, still on. looking forward to having a class of attentive students.
