Re: Definitive books on Eastern Front air war

I love puncturing "common knowledge". Here's one for you. Turns out the engines were probably not the reason for the Whirlwind's disappointing wartime record. The Peregrine being the last iteration of the tried and true Kestrel. It's more likely the problem was the propellers. The prototyp...

Re: EAW 128C and 129

I think 1.29 can handle the extra 3dz's but I don't think it has the extra transparencies for the P and S textures. Could be wrong on that as I jumped right into the most capable set of execs as soon as they were issued and thus stopped following other development lines.

Re: EAW 128C and 129

Just be aware that 75% or more of my models don't work in anything other than 1.6.

Re: How accurate is Spielberg’s "Masters of the Air"?

If this were being put out by Netflix the crew would be 3/4 black with a transexual plane captain so kudos to Apple for presenting things as they were.

Can't wait to watch.

Re: Barbarossa screenies

There are a few more than you requested.

Seems as I was researching national insignia and such for the models on your list I came across other aircraft so I went ahead and added them too.

Re: Barbarossa screenies

Stunning terrain. Looks like something from one of the more advanced flight sims.

And I'm happy to see a few of the many upgraded models I've been working on.

Spitballing.

Use the SPAW target set, which as far as I know doesn't have any CTD's, and switch capital cities. Then see if the CTD's show up.

Re: Moggy's Log January 2024

Pretty complex issues.

What would happen if you just took a functioning setup, like SPAW, and just renamed and relocated the bases to appropriate positions on the map?

Those numbers can't be accurate. Must be some kind of "bot" thing.

Well, we're still here. I'd like more lurkers to contribute but maybe in time they will.

Re: Vildebeest as requested

I'll put the set in your folder.

One thing to remind Lolo of is that this model (as well as most of my newer ones) will only work in 1.6 due to the add-on 3dz files that give the models much improved details.
