Stefano,
First, how was your trip to the French Riviera?
Second, no, I was asked to hold off uploading stuff from Groundcrew for now, but you can still get them here:

The trip was simply grand, thank you Andrew!
It's immediately obvious to any visitor that France is so much better off than Italy. Better maintained motorways with wooded rest areas equipped with picnic tables, seats and restrooms with hi-tech lavatories I'd love to have in my own house! Spotless clean and deodorised, at that.
Lower fuel prices than here and plenty of boulangerie/patisseries (bakery-pastries), selling not only bread but big baguette sandwiches, more or less like
"subs with the works", ranging from 3.50 to a max of 5.00 Euros. Half sandwich was enough for a meal! Let's not get into the French pastry subject or I'll gain weight just at the thought of it.....
The only thing we found expensive was bottled mineral water, lower sales taxes (VAT) than here helped a lot our vacation budget as well.
Obviously, all of the above can be found in "average" places, because, if one wants luxury, there's no limit to that! Believe me, your everyday folk's restaurants, bars and such are plenty and everywhere in the old, historical towns.
Great looking hotels, including "all-u-can-eat" breakfast in the room price, which, in this country, would have costed three times as much. Under French laws every beach is public domain and in the Cote d'Azur they are all raked clean, equipped with fresh water showers and restrooms, free of charge. Here the concept of public beach is only on paper and the few actually public beaches that I saw, look like garbage dumps. Here we only have politicians, worst than professional thieves, that escape laws even when they are found 100% guilty as charged and the only thing they do when they take office is raise taxes, while in the majority of Europe everything seems to be running smoothly and efficiently. Need I say more?
We knew that already since this is the fourth year in a row that we take a week of "roam around" vacation there, visiting both towns on the coast and the small, lovely villages on the mountains facing the Riviera. Depending on traffic, it takes a 3 and half to 4 hour drive to get to Antibes, right after Nice, from Fidenza. This year we reached Aix-en-Provence, an extra hour and half drive, and we both loved it.
As to the main topic if you are interested, since I did the textures included in the orginal packages, I thought it was high time to update the prop textures of both Bf110 beta models.
Thanks for the link, I had not checked it because I erroneously thought there wasn't anything for CFS2 stored there.
Cheers!
