You forgot this line: "It's tin hats that we wear"

402nd Debrief (disclaimer: my memory fails me - it's already bad at recording all these flashy events in proper order, but now, typing this after a day's work ... yeah... please forgive me. Just trying to do this so Fen does not have to spend the time ... Oh wait, this probably needs so many corrections... Oh well ... ) Started out with 8 aircraft, but lost Tbone (Red 4) right after spawning in due to technical issue. Set out east towards target. Our P47 escorts were soon with us. The plan was to have white flight attack targer first, 4x two pairs of 1000lbs bombs. On ingress, we met with some 190's, white flight took care of them, whilst keeping their bombs. Good job. Red flight kept flying towards target. Our escort P47 disappeared as soon as the enemy a/c showed up, never seen them back, they probably chased some back home (?) Over target, Red flight stayed over the clouds, waited for White to come in. White flight attacked the target and did good damage. Red flight then attacked. After all bombs were used, some repeated strafing attacks were performed on triple A guns and other items. (The 410th BG must have woken the AAA up when leaving the area I suppose ... because they were surely there!) White 4 got damaged, and returned home early, accompanied by White 3. (Or was it vv?) Return flight was messy, as we somehow all got split up. White 1 and 2 chasing bandits reported by White 3/4. Finding bandits here and there. Red 3 having a go at them 5x 110's up north ... Red 1 and 2 came across two 88's. Unfortunately, Red 2 was killed due to a collision, and probably wasn't able to bale out. No parachute was seen. Hectic radio traffic for a while. White 4 had to bale out of damaged a/c, inside our lines. I think. Landing was still fairly close together, time wise. Good job all... we killed it, and them! (Note to self; Need to improve, seem to keep losing the same wing man over and over again! Any volunteers?)

No worries sir... Stats are nice to have... The only one I think is relevant here is the one that shows 'Number of missions'

Good show 402ND - well - apart from our pilot mr. Baker. Good team work. Thanks! (Edit: Sorry, sounds like I am blaming mr. Baker - I am not - I worded it wrong there! Just so sad to see we lost him ... )

That was a very good one to listen to... Thanks!

New version is in ChkMods - anybody in need of an update will have to first delete the old version in their install, and then run ChkSkins.

As long as the name of the file does not get changed, it will be fine. (Meaning: the name it has when I download it, and put it in the proper folder, should be equal to the name of the file you use to put it in your folder.) ChkSkins only compares file names, not dates or sizes or contents!

Axis!

Allied!

Tbone, just FYI - each and every skin you upload, I try to quickly add to the ChkSkins environment ...

Oh, forgot to add; The blacklist file is in the folder where you put ChkSkins in. 'ExcludedSkins.txt' It will be downloaded every time you run ChkSins, so do not edit it as it as is. Just create a new .txt file with the additions, and send it to me and I'll upload it Teamwork!

What you are doing here Tbone, is nearly perfect Thanks for that. You know what would make it absolutely perfect? This setup: _PzVI-H1\Tiger_Skin_Das Reich 8 (1).dds _PzIV-G\PzVIH1_WildSau.dds A20B\1 A20B La Patrona.dds A20B\321st Bomber Air Regiment.dds A20B\A20B_4k_8thGBAP_1(1).dds A20B\PiZ-DoFF.dds A20B\Test.dds Bf109F2\bf109f2_skin_01 (1).dds Bf109E7\Test.dds This is the syntax of the file that blacklists them

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!!

okay... Would it be a good idea to maybe put Tank battle in the name?

Good show! Make sure you try it all out on our DF server ... all missions running in there will have the P38 available.

Pick the bold grey camo ...

Sure Mick, me too! Even looking into using a big cardboard box, to stick my head in. It will have some small openings in it. ... but can't figure out how to get it to stay over my head! Oh well ...

@Sid ; I think you need to update the file/item in the downloads section - it still holds the 1.00 version!

Hm, I will lose the ground icons in normal missions as well in this setup? Or is that our new standard as of now for all missions?

So, when using this V2.00, I can delete these two: * Icon_Map_Other_Planes_Off_3010C_2-15 * Direction_Distance_Small Triangle v4 Correct? My JSGME will be looking like this:

Well, we need to compensate for the a/c now having icons so, I say let's give the 110's 2x1000Kg Bombs as load out option.

Engine management: Make sure you have buttons/axis/keys setup for Proppitch/RPM, Mixture and SuperCharger. Well, you may even need more, but this could be a good start. Yeah, Radiators / Cowl Flaps will also need some attention ...
