ED Team NineLine Posted March 13, 2015 ED Team Share Posted March 13, 2015 Really ? You didn't think the way they Leaned into the Stick on the turns was realistic ? Or the way they were thrown from side to side on the turns looked real ? I AGREE ! I could have handled all that, but they changed many things about the true Red Tails story, a story that would make a good movie if only told word for word, it didnt need spicing up by Mr Lucas...

HeadHunter52 Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 That is HISTORY right there. And that skin is beautiful. Together, they make some very nostalgic notions arise. Someone oughta fly that lil bird in a tribute video. Too beautiful. Thread should be a "sticky" in the P-51 section.

Merlin-27 Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Whip, I call dibs on Little "MAC" the first day you fly a mission with a flyable B-24! Call me crazy but that plane has some good juju in-game. Isn't that the plane I used for Refuge 11 last time we killed it and ran the table on that mission? Good stuff.

Whiplash Posted March 30, 2015 Author Share Posted March 30, 2015 Whip, I call dibs on Little "MAC" the first day you fly a mission with a flyable B-24! Call me crazy but that plane has some good juju in-game. Isn't that the plane I used for Refuge 11 last time we killed it and ran the table on that mission? Good stuff. man in my absence I never saw the recent activity on this thread! you are right, it was Little MAC you were flying. It's funny but after getting use to flying with each other in our DoW planes I have to say that Redtail stuck out like a sore thumb. It made it nice when I was trying to form up with you! The day we have a flyable B-24 will be the day I start making the banana boat skin! You can see her here: http://www.450thbg.com/real/aircraft/bananaboat.shtml That is the one my granddad bailed out of over Yugoslavia. http://www.450thbg.com/real/miscellaneous/p51-25.shtml Demon thanks for the link. That is the official website of my grandfather’s bomber group. I submitted some of those pictures on behalf of Craig Huntly but the ones from Stanley Purwinis were there before I started researching the plane. What I find interesting is the that the pictures from Stanley Purwinis appear to be taken from separate days since the nose art LITTLE MAC is not on one of them. I know the B-24s were surrounded by a lot of mustangs but why are there pictures of this particular plane taken on at least two separate occasion? I think it almost suggest there might be some connection with the pilot and the 720th BS. Especially since my grandfather said the pilot of LITTLE MAC was the officer who was checking his gear for contraband before he was sent home. Just feels like too many coincidences, and if there is some connection then maybe that is the key in finally putting a name to the pilot... who knows. As a side note I updated this skin a while ago so the metal finish looks a little different than the previous pictures I posted.

Whiplash Posted May 1, 2017 Author Share Posted May 1, 2017 LITTLE *MAC* Goes to Normandy. - Thanks Merlin for the great screenshots! I updated the textures so they look a little more realist. DCS 1.5 changed the texture properties so an update has been long over due. This newer version will look a lot better in Normandy!

BuzzU Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 She sure looks purdy all polished up. Not practical for a fighting plane, but damn it looks good. Buzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzU Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 I have a question about the terrain. Does it really look like that in real life? What's the purpose of sectioning it off like that if there isn't a home on each section? Why section it off if each section isn't owned by different owners?

msalama Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Farming plots separated by hedgerows perhaps?

BuzzU Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Farming plots separated by hedgerows perhaps? I understand what they are, but why the separation if one owner owns multiple plots. They appear to be just grass. Buzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy1966 Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Ever been to New England and seen the rock walls around fields? they acculmulated over the years as farmers cleared one field, then another and pushed the stones and debries to the edge. don't know for sure as I've never been to Normandy, but could be the same type of gradual clearing over centuries.

Legioneod Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 I understand what they are, but why the separation if one owner owns multiple plots. They appear to be just grass. Two reasons. 1. What the above poster said. 2. They act as windbreaks to help stop erosion and keep the fertile soil from blowing away. We do the same thing in Louisiana.

TWC_SLAG Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 I understand what they are, but why the separation if one owner owns multiple plots. They appear to be just grass. They aren't grass. They are mounds of earth and rocks, with very thick hedges on top. I think the French word for them is "bocage".

BuzzU Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Green hedges. I'm talking about the ground. Not the hedges. It's grass no? My point being that these aren't crops but just grass fields. Why do they need to be separated? I've seen plenty of photos and videos of the UK. I was going to move there once. They do have a lot of sections with stone walls separating them. However, they have homes on the sections and are bigger than what we see in Normandy map. I think it was easier to make the map that way. You could have a lot of duplication and it wouldn't be noticed. It's a great looking map and i'm not complaining. Just curious. Buzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnlyforDCS Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Your question was already answered a few posts back: https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3126863&postcount=66 This "bocage" is centuries, centuries. Old. It was simply the way land was cleared in most of Europe since the Early Middle ages. Probably even before that. On the coastlines it was left that way, because it helps to protect the fertile land against erosion.

Yes, there are stone walls, but the walls separate properties and there's a home on each one. Anyway, it's not really important. That's how the map looks and it's a 1000 times better than Caucasus.
