Thanks for clearing that one up Solty,I knew what we had wasn't the regular European Theatre model in game and just googled P-51 models and the ones that came up with the two aerials were named as P-51 H's. However your explanation is far more precise,and after googling that model,I can see that it is the one we have,thanks very much buddy :thumbup:

This is not a whine or a moan,I'm purely just interested,but,why have we got a P-51H modelled in DCS and not a P-51D ?.....as it's obviously masquerading as ? For those not in the know,the P-51H has the two aerial masts on the back,the P-51D has only the one :)

After researching this skin a little more closer I notice that there were two different coloured crickets depicted in the nose art. On the one that I have requested 414223,the cricket is green as per my nose art pic in the first post,however on a later version of KATYDID the one with the lime green tail 47222,the cricket is dark and it's wing is a lighter blue,see profile pic(As per your large nose/cowling pic Reflected) Also on this later version the top of the anti glare panel (top of nose)was navy blue where as the version that I've requested is olive drab green in colour to the top of the anti glare panel. Below shows the later different version of KATYDID serial 472227 which shows the navy blue anti glare panel and the blue cricket/katydid,this is the version thar Aeroshell created.

Oh yes,I loved the skin you created for me last time 'This Is It !'....that was a beauty Reflected. Your profile shows the correct colour of the tail green too,excellent profile picture buddy,however the large nose/cowling picture you have there is of a later/different version,that's from the lime green tailed version,not the dark green tailed version. This is going to be another stunner,thank you so much for doing this Reflected :thumbup: PS I loved your bare metal colour/finish on 'This Is It ! ' too,that again was perfect. Just out of interest I notice on my actual B/W pic of the real aircraft the three,four figure numbers around the 'cricket figure'are 4223 yet on your cowling pic the numbers are different,I wonder what they represent ? *EDIT* BTW I have solved the nose art numbers query in this thread,The numbers around the cricket are the serial numbers of the two versions of KATYDID. So 41(4223) and 47(2227) respectively. :)

I know the later version of this skin has been created by Aeroshell,although his beautiful skin now requires updating after the DCS updates,but I would like this earlier version created if it's possible. I would point out the dark tail is in fact a very dark green and not black as it appears in my profile 1st picture.I have also added the nose art and pilots name details that were on the bottom of the cockpit canopy. The pilot Lt Col Righetti's story is a very tragic one,and it capitivated me when I read about it. *Nose Art : KATYDID applied to both Port and Starboard sides,although the cricket/katydid was only applied on the Port side *Pilot and Ground crew data strip: Only applied to Port side *Detail of kill markings for KATYDID version serial 414223,he had nine kill markings on 414223,and these were only applied on the Port side. *The below picture confirms that no black anti-slip strips were applied to the wing roots,so they were bare metal. Just a small tribute to the pilot Lt.Col Elwyn G.Righetti C/O of 55th Fighter Group *The bottom 3 pics show that KATYDID 414223 did not have the black anti-slip marks on the wing roots.

Thanks CHSubZero,yes I've already got that one and it's superb,however I just particularly like this one with the two red bands on the tail,and the FA code :smilewink:

I would love to see one of these early era USAF bare metal skins created if someone skilled enough has the time,just love this look.

All that hard work paid off Reflected.....that mate,is a superb skin,stunning,thank you very much :thumbup:

Oh yes now we're talking,would love to have the Typhoon created for DCS with all the same detailing as the other modules,I'd buy it :thumbup:

Thanks very much Mustang,this is one hell of a land texture Mod fella,top work :thumbup:

Yes....Bravo Hawkeye for endeavouring to get this sorted for us,it is very much appreciated old chap :thumbup:

Yes of course,the production model had the frontal landing gear didn't it?...... and this obviously solved the issue :doh:thx Solty.

I have been watching a superb documentary on the 262. I didn't realise,that to get the tail up on take off,German pilots had to gently touch their brakes once the aircraft reached 120 mph.Once this was achieved,the tail would lift up off the ground and the aircraft would at this point take off.

Agreed.........ready to pay now !

Ok,thanks guys,this info is very much appreciated,sorry to cause a fuss........I would'nt have guessed that in a million years :doh: So it only works dependant on what airfield you pick :thumbup:

This is still an issue,the Auto start works up until 'Ground Power'is requested and then it fails as no ground power is implemented into the Auto Start. *****PLEASE DEVS FIX THIS,SOMETIMES WE DO NOT WANT TO GO ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE START UP PROCEDURE***** If you are not going to fix it,please remove it from the controls list as it is a nuisance having non working controls listed,thanks,sorry to labour this point but it's very annoying ! All the other DCS modules Auto Starts work it's just the F86F that is porked.

For those who are not sure how to go about updating/repairing see following video.......not my work BTW :)

Before I headed off to bed last night I was looking for the logo,but I couldn't find anything.However I've just got up and seen your message asking for help regarding this,so if you still need help theGozr,give me a bit more time and I'll dig deeper. I have to say though buddy what you have created looks absolutely terrific,and your logo looks great.

Guys.....whay can I say,this is all very much appreciated,thank you both so much :thumbup:

I certainly have CHSubZero it's very nice,however I'm just trying to source some later MiG-15 EAF skins circa 'Six Day War' :)

Guys,would some very nice skinner create this skin for me please it's an Egyptian MiG-15 from the Six Day War 1967. There are two thin green lines on the wing tips of both wings,which are'nr very visible from my picture.....Thank you in advance :)

Yes,I'd like to know this too.

I too agree with Klem,look how clear and polished this 'Erk' (RAF ground crewman) has got this Spit's canopy to look. As Klem mentioned,clean canopies would've been the norm,surely,no way would you send a pilot up to combat with a grubby canopy.I knew I had this picture hiding in one of my books and this thread made me go searching for it.

Thank you very much Bignewy for your advice,yes I think I will go for a fresh install,and thanks also about the tip to cancel the keys,this is very much appreciated :thumbup:

Guys,I have a new PC with Windows 10 installed on it,......can I simply copy and paste both my Eagles main root folder and then my User/saved games/DCS folder into their relevant sections and fire up? I am not changing the monitor/keyboard or mouse,so I am hoping I can just do the above,obviously all of my sim hardware such as joystick/throttle and rudder pedals will have to be set upon the new PC. Any help or advice would be warmly appreciated,thank you :) PS New build as signature below.
