Now I see. Yes, I will be updating my other skins for DCS 2.1.
-
Just curious. Focusing heavily on the Dora (Hard to get over the beauty of that aircraft), but definitely have some interesting prospects for the K-4. ?

Possibility of other 109 Models as an addon?
JST replied to IronJockel's topic in DCS Core Wish List
Any MW50 -retrofitted (605AM) G-6 or G-14 past spring 1944 fits the description. Common. Hasn't it already been established that the P-51 is lacking period-proper boost? -

JST replied to IronJockel's topic in DCS Core Wish List
605AM -powered 109 G is another 1800hp, 3000kg, monster like the K-4. Arguably better armament, as well. -

:joystick: "Yellow 15" is out as well!
-
Thank you. I absolutely have plans to, but we shall see. Sadly, I don't have as much time nor energy to work on these as I used to.
-
I try my best, thank you!
-
Thanks! No problem. :thumbup:
-
Cheers. Probably do some JG2 and more JG6 as well.

Standard on early production. A pointless detail, but I prefer the blown canopy anyway. What I'd really love to see, even if it was just a cosmetic change with no FM changes, is the Ta 152 tailed Dora to replicate an important part of the Dora production.
-
Much appreciated.
-
Apologies for the delay, but things happened and this inevitably got pushed back, should be out very soon!
-
Of course they should, but need to be setup as such and I don't know if I want to bother. Atleast right now.
-
Why bother?
-
Well, #2 should be at least a RLM 75/81 scheme, I don't trust profiles as a system and that doesn't look any good for sure. #4 has imaginary colours even though an actual (B&W) pic of the machine was used for the scheme. One thing that is absolutely sure about all that three schemes is that patterns are probably the same as it is throughout the whole Luftwaffe, or quite close, and sides mottling in different styles shouldn't be taken as "pattern differences". Also different colours using in the same patterns, RLM 75/81, RLM 81/82, with some slightly different shades in later colours as they weren't consistent towards the end of the war. Furthermore, differences in RLM 76/83 shades can't be taken as differences in pattern/schemes, when not unpainted underwings. Also we have to bear in mind also the "engine eggs" used at factories, pre-mounted eggs were brought to factory already painted, so usually it didn't matched colours or pattern of the aeroplane fuselage. With all those variables, different colours schemes over official Luftwaffe patterns (those patterns sometimes had a couple of versions, just mirrored ones), pre-painted engine eggs, hand mottling at fields, and of course weathering, all of that makes them appear very different, but they weren't in a deep sense. What exactly is wrong with the D13 colours? "Light grey" and "light green with dark green splotches" as described in a rough drawing in Crandall's book Dora vol. 2 (cant post pic as i write this from work on a phone.) Of course different mottling (like does markings etc) matters, as theyre most often consistent throughout production blocks and manufacturers. I don't ID and group together wildly different Doras by some vague "Luftwaffe camouflage". And update your sources to the 21st century with Crandall's and JaPo's Dora books, volumes 1 and 2 for both.

Yes. The bird is currently the most accurate representation of what it was before it's capture. Loosely, but still.
-
I wouldn't be so quick to judge. #1 is definitely a disgusting abomination, but #2 is very close in pattern and markings to the photographs of Romm's machine (Colours need a review). #3 is a very well known Dora "Blue 12", and one thing that is absolutely certain is that none of these schemes are similar. Whether it's colour, markings or pattern. The restoration of the D-13 is not off much, just painted rather lazily.
