Re: Midway as at 2015

The Kates are almost done. I'm waiting for Ray to do the corrected radio antenna then I just have to test them. I've changed the m.3dz in the base skin set because it really is more Stuka than Kate. The replacement is part of the test. I've also started the Brewster by fixing the front by reassignin...

Understood. Sympathies to you and yours Sky. There are times that things will happen that are out of our control. We all should understand that. Accept things for what they are and move on best we can.

On a lighter side, you can tell that Skylark is Canadian, he's so damn polite!

Speaking of art, look at this link. It is a site with analysis of Japanese carrier wrecks from the Midway battle. It features 3-view color illustrations of 3 flattops.

Major Maust had his goggles on his forehead when he hit the water. He smashed up against the instrument panel and they left a cookie cutter like 'fi...

As I said at SimHq the air groups for Kaga, Akagi, Hyru and Soryu are covered in depth. It will be time consuming but not difficult to produce multi-skin squadrons for Zeros, Vals, and Kates. There is a first rate Zero and the other two need a proper High-rez makeover to be more accurate visually. L...
