  1. DD_Fenrir's post in Was Biggin Hill Recently Enlarged? was marked as the answer   
    Biggin Hill was a sector station - this meant it had an Ops Room (the big map table where they pushed the wooden blocks indicating air raids and friendly air units around) and was the primary control authority for the squadrons based at the stations within within it's sector, these being West Malling and Lympne.
    Biggin was on the frontline as a Fighter Airfield right up until early 1944, with many notable fighter squadrons rotating through it from 1939 till the months before D-Day. The squadrons based there claimed 1000+ enemy aircraft destroyed.
    Manston was one of the secondary fields (no Ops Room) in the Hornchurch sector. Used by Fighter Command during the Battle of Britain it was attacked so frequently and so heavily that units were withdrawn to bases inland, as it being so close to the sea the fighters based there struggled to get to height before the enemy raids arrived, meaning the squadrons often got bounced, or missed the interception altogether. 
    As the air war became less defensive, Manston started seeing lots of units rotate through, particularly on a temporary basis as fighter squadrons might forward deploy from the bases inland to extend their range somewhat in order to be able to escort bombers to targets in Belgium and Holland. Later, it became a regular home to Hawker Typhoon squadrons and during the V-1 campaign the first squadrons of Gloster Meteors were based there.
  2. DD_Fenrir's post in Elevator trim acts like aileron trim?! was marked as the answer   
    1. Go into your control settings
    2. Select the axis commands filter from the drop down menu.
    3. Highlight either the aileron or elevator input axis cell corresponding to your MSFFB2 input
    4. Choose the "FF Tune" button which will have now been made active
    5. In the pop up window find and check the box which says "Swap axis"
    You will need to do this for ALL ED developed aircraft modules else you will find your pitch stick forces acting on your aileron and vice-versa.
  3. DD_Fenrir's post in Livery/Tail numbers no longer changable was marked as the answer   
    It's the Skin Prof. The are two Coastal Command schemes; the one with the 'L' on you cannot manipulate the codes; the second similar skin you can however.
    The traditional RAF green/grey skin as always had and continues to have the ability to change the squadron codes and serial number.
