Yes,can't wait for new skins to appear,this is my favourite,'The HUFF' flown by Lt. Jim Thompson,it's quite a classic,I wonder how many versions we'll see of this one alone.I have uploaded here the real HUFF in Korea,Port,Starboard,profile and a diagram of decal placement. I hope we also see very Hi Res versions to show off the DCS F86F in all it's splendour.

Yes,I'm fascinated by the Mig-15,would love it to be fully researched and developed,oh and by the way at the moment the sounds need a tweek,it's missing that unmistakable 'whistle'.

Jocko,love the new black dash but personally I prefer the darker throttle,is there a way we can 'cherry'pick you're work to suit our personal preferences. Top work matey :thumbup:

Here's an even better pic of the internal colour.

.....Another favourite

Most of these came from Osprey's book on the 51st Fighter Wing F-86's :smilewink:

Amazing,that's the first pic of the red internal coloured speed brakes I've seen,all the ones I've trawled through are in olive green. Although however,if you look close enough at your photo,you can see the green paint showing through the worn areas,I still reckon this red colour is an overpaint of the original factory olive green colour,it was the same Olive Green colour as used in the P-51's cockpits I think. BTW,I am not casting a critical eye over this issue,just an observational one,the devs have done a great job on this F-86 :thumbup:

I have'nt got the relevant skills to do any skins unfortunately,but I do have a wealth of picture reference that I can share,so I thought I'd start a pic reference thread. for the skinners. So start adding your desired skin pictures gentlemen,I'll start us off with a few of my favourites mostly from the 51st Fighter Wing,here we go. 1.MIG MAD MARINE of Maj John Glenn x2 pics 2.THE HUFF of 2Lt James L.Thompson 3.MIG MAD MAVIS port and starboard profiles of Lt Col George I Ruddell

One of the first things I'd change if I had the skills would be to change the internal colour of the speedbrakes,I don't know where the dev got the red colour from,the real F-86 had olive green internal coloured speed brakes see pic. Small issue I know but it would be nice to address it at some stage,in fact if someone has the relevant skills to change this I'd be very grateful,just a small file that we could pop into the skin folder so that it overwrites the original or something.

+1 too

Something called 'IMMERSION',I use a Saitek throttle quadrant for my undercariage and flap controls,which has clearly defined middle sections so I can't see a problem,I have no problem selecting a 'middle room',it's just personal preferance I guess,sure if you want to use a button go ahead use your button.

It would be very nice if the good chaps at DCS could give us an AXIS for the flaps,and maybe a second one one for the landing gear,so we could map these to our controllers,instead of us having to use a very unrealistic switch.

......and me :thumbup:

Correct,I allready belong to a Squadron that I have flown with for the past 3 years on Cliffs Of Dover iL2 so that side is covered :thumbup:

Thanks for the tip.

Great idea and one I'd thought of myself actually,yes bring on the B and C variant please DCS :thumbup:

Why is it that when you give you're flight of four aircraft the command to fly in formation,the flight does,but at such a long distance away,even if you command the flight to pull in tight they're still so far apart,it's ridicoulous:doh: I'd like to get my flight to pull in really tight which is much more realistic,at the moment my formation flight of four P-51's are flying 'line abreast' football pitch distances apart. Any help or advice would be gratefully appreciated,thank you.

Tell your flight to 'Engage Bandits' via the comms,I've noticed the first thing they do is jettison their tanks,so you can try this. It's not perfect,a workaround if you will,but at least you'll know they have got rid of the excess weight.

Thanks Mike will try this too,much appreciated guys :thumbup:

Ahhh......thank you :thumbup:

When in multiplayer,how does one change the payload of the P-51D please ?................I know how to do this using the editor but not whilst in multiplayer or online situations.

Gents,could we have some more pilot skins,it's really nice having a choice,I have'nt got the skills to do this and I am always grateful to those who do. Pilots from the 8th Air Force,during the European Air War.

Excellent Whiplash,the skin is a beauty mate,thank you so much for you're time,I really appreciate this :thumbup:

Thanks Lulac,I'll try that,btw I can help you with the Saitek Quadrant'I have been using one of these for a long time now. It's a nice bit of kit,in Cliffs of Dover iL2 I used two of the Axis available for landing gear and flaps on my Hurricane,in DCS there is'nt an Axis for the landing gear so I only use one of the Axis for flaps. It's a pity there is'nt an Axis available for the 'Idle Cut Off Switch' in DCS because it would be nice to use this quadrant for that operation too. If you need any other info please let me know and I'll try to assist :thumbup: EDIT: You were spot on re the controls profile location,thanks buddy
