Ripcord03

i encountered this too, i hadnt checked the forums in a while so had no clue it was going to happen, got booted out right towards the end of a campaign mission. It made it impossible for me to play the modules i bought and killed the game, super jarring when the game just freezes in VR mid combat then goes black screen. Have to replay that mission, which isnt a big deal, but being having the authentication wiped which unloaded all my modules due to the maintenance was not cool.

first module that i have pre-ordered in a long time. Also been waiting on the apache for a long time to so cant wait!!!!

So I landed, and my AI wingman followed, then they apparently decided to get out of their 'cat....

Someone forgot to align their NAV systems, we are in Heatblur's forums not RAZBAM's :P

yep, but i would have to make it on by default on my game, because who wouldnt like to have the Oh Sh't moment when they realize they didnt get stopped, and they forgot to jam the throttles back to full, only to watch in terror as the plane falls into the ocean.

there are a few for ya ;) There are a ton more videos out there, i've even got a couple from when i had the delight of riding backseat in a P-51D. EDIT: heres one of Kermie's P-51C:

well, i cant get the chewing-gum note to fit on the front dash and be readable, i did however get it on the dropdown door on the left side of the seat :) i am currently working to find other possible locations for it to be easy to view, and read.

^ correct, but its kind of a misnomer as the L.F. IXc (C-wing like we have) has its best performance around 23k feet. with a steady decrease in performance below 20k a good quote: "the LF MK IX is a high altitude fighter in a low altitude fighters clothing, it turns better at low altitude, but goes quicker at high altitude."

2.0 will get the spitfire next time they patch 2.0, so yes, next friday is a valid assumption, however, as with any in-development game/content, everything is subject to change, and everything will happen Soon

Hey, so for those of you too afraid to wander the depths of the liveries and skinning section of the forums, here is a little teaser of a project i started working on at the request of CHSubZero and NRG-Vampire: For those who don't know, this is a USAAF Spitfire MkIXc, Tail Number EN447, flown by Lt. Victor Cabas, The USAAF painted over the British roundels (save one on the left underwing) and put their own markings on it. I started this just because I wanted to make a less generic skin than the Squadron skins that came with the spitfire (yes i know, early access :P ), but also because there are no US skins in-game. Also, the challenge of making a skin with no template appealed to me, so here I am, roughly 3 days into the project, and Im down to fixing a few small things here and there along with finishing up a few minor details. I am hoping to have this up for a public release before christmas ;) Also for your enjoyment: a few in-game screenshots with an early version of the skin with me smoking the engine of the spit right after downing a 190. Not once, but twice. My only guess at why the engine failed is it overheated, even though the Temp gauges were fine during the engagement, so either that or the engine siezed for an unknown reason. Luckily, on my third attempt to kill the 190 without killing my engine in the process i kept the throttle at around 50% and used the prop pitch adjustment to control my rpm, and i successfully down the 190, and landed (the landing wasn't great, but i didnt break anything off the plane xD)

A few in-game SS of the skin, sorry i didnt get any underwing shots for the underwing roundel, but i was in a bit of a hurry when i grabbed them so i didnt even take off.

Updated the Top wing roundels, still patching up a shoddy camo paintjob (crew chief let a private do the painting, goes to prove, if you want something done right, do it yourself xD ;) ), finished up a couple of touches around the rest of the aircraft and finished up the bottom wings. Now, I have a few contradicting sources regarding the Roundel markings on both the top and bottom of the wings, so i went with the first and most informative source i found. If you want samples of the other markings let me know, otherwise i plan on sticking with the ones in the Screenshots, I'll PM both of you (CHSubZero and NRG-Vampire) with a private link to the download to let you guys look at it in-game yourselves, and get back to me with any feedback, since you guys requested the skins, and because I want to be as accurate as I can without a template. (Im slowly making my own as I progress on this first skin). Once you guys give your feedback and/or the OK, if you want, I can/will upload to the DCS site for Public use. EDIT: forgot to post images xD

yea i noticed the roundels are too big, that was just a first placement, like i said, i still have a few adjustments to do. ;)

Alright update on KAY III: USAAF roundel added, along with kill marks, just have to finish up a few minor tweaks and ill have an upload ready to go. and the right side: And the top view:

@NRG-Vampire that's the plan, I've got the star marked up just haven't finished my recoloring of the red and white section of the rounded yet, I'm at work atm, will be finishing it up when I get home, more pics and a potential upload of the skin to follow later today Also @CHSubZero I have gotten the markings I need for the Egypt skin, but I'm still trying to figure out the best way to approach setting it up, I believe the Egypt skin has a slightly different color scheme to its camouflage and I'm not sure if I want to attempt to recolor it without a template
