Video at 08:00 mark ... so after all potential refraction modeling efforts we will be looking at the cowling as view limiter LOL!

Thanks! I found that tutorial too, and it's excellent to get a basic understanding of the steps and tools used. I'm looking for some pro tips, as I read how they would split the skin template into 4 parts (to have better control?), use a bare metal template, etc. I'm sure for the most part it comes down to artistic (read: Photoshop) skills. Had several easy P-51D kills in it tonight, but landing remains difficult and I ruined several. Beautiful WIP already, thanks!

They're too busy in the kitchen :D But indeed, I would also like to see a skinning tutorial.

Perhaps this helps; R:56, G:59, B:50 (source: http://www.simmerspaintshop.com/page-RGB-colors-Germany.html). Looks like "Braune 4" made it out alive after all ;) Don't worry about glossiness.

Excellent informative video again :thumbup:

Not a fan of minimalist beats, but like you write the video is nice.

I'm going to use a cheat cartridge ... cheating since 1986 :D

The haunting Gothenburg sound ... rest in peace Jon :(

Yay ... getting there. Little too much curvature maybe, but definitely better than the straight line. JaPo approves. As for the underside; this guy did a nice job.

Interesting. The norm seems to have been RLM 76. Natural metal doesn't surprise me, given the paint shortages in the closing days.

Nicht ganz einwandfrei, aber wirkt überzeugend. sources: http://www.ww2aircraft.net/forum/10-focke-wulf-messerschmitt/focke-wulf-fw-190d-9-braunen-4-w-nr-500647-me-fw-group-build-28927-2.html http://www.helmo.gr/index.php?option=com_deeppockets&task=catContShow&cat=30&id=1575&Itemid=36

For me that would work ...

I'm starting to think about matcha icecream :) Very nice paintscheme. Would soften the cream colour a bit, and use font type "Blockschrift für Flugzeuge"; http://www.dafont.com/blockschrift-fur-fl.font?text=4%3D-&psize=l. Also use the empty "Balkenkreuz", to optimize camo effect.

Hopefully by the time the Kurfürst is released VKB's KG.12 grip will be out (I know, KG.13C in the Kurfürst but still). Was pleasantly surpised to find a KG.12 trigger keychain after unpacking VKB's T-rudder pedals. source: http://forum.il2sturmovik.ru/topic/1680-vybor-devajsa-vkb-mamba-fat-pro/page-2

Because of it's German superiority? :P Normandy map ... game on.

You can only dive so far ... the Dora and Kurfürst will catch up quickly if you don't find a hiding place.

+1 rep send to both TheDevilDogGamer and Bluedrake42 for their enthusiastic efforts ... some guys need to stop acting like they own this forum.

It's official now ... the MiG-21 is a bad turner. Thanks to Bluedrake42 for already mentioning that, but now we know from a more "reliable source" :disgust:

Is it Groundhog Day again?

Beautiful, relaxing music. Needs full-blown DCS:Su-27 module in honour to the legacy Flanker 2.0

Definitely like the old style one better.

Niemand will dein Zeichen sehen, wirst ihnen bald ihr Leben nehmen (noone wants to see your sign, will soon take their lives) Blut und Feuer an den Händen, Opfernamen an den Wänden (blood and fire on the hands, sacrifice-names on the walls) Fly like a hand-made god ...

Cobra, panel layout ... pretty please? :D

Alternatively, one of Leo Bodnar's Joystick controllers; http://www.leobodnar.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=86&products_id=205 (simple version of the BU0836X, without the analog inputs). Add laser-cut panel and switches to that ... DIY build. Only need a good panel layout file for laser cutting. Perhaps Leatherneck could help there?

I like it ... learned some interesting features like the gun breech jam clearing with blanks (of which you only have 3 apparently). Next video shows weapons loadout?
