• There seems to be an up tick in Political commentary in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site we know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religiours commentary out of the fourms.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politicion will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment amoung members. It is a poison to the community. We apprciate compliance with the rules.

Screenshots

This looks great :applause: I took a break from mission building and will slowly returning to it, have some more missions planned from the Japanese side that I would like to finish before maybe going to the ETO.
 
Weren't those drop tanks also used as the basis for that "fast ambulance/evac" pod for a wounded man? Or maybe a smaller tank? From pictures I saw this looks scary as hell...

Yes, and there's also a version with a glass front for a cameraman - that was used to film some F4U strikes at Okinawa!!!

The photo seems to show one of these pods under the port wing, but nothing at all under the starboard wing. Must have made for interesting trim to hold level flight... :dizzy:
 
I just discovered that my version 3.5.99 FRAPS does NOT work in Widdows11 anymore with the latest update (thank you very much Micro$oft)! I will try another screensot utility that I have saved and post the results.

cheers:

Asymmetric payloads were more common than you think...

... "Vampire Squadron" has a slew of missions out of Stirling from the early/mid-'44 period with one tank & 1 x 500lb bomb as a payload.
 
Never seen this sort of rocket launchers. Were they a field modification?
I like this snake paint scheme!

459th fighter squadron used them against JAP fortifications in Burma during the autumn of '44.

Check out ACWai's P-38 thread for more screenshots of 459th squadron schemes.

The Devil is coming

"Gabelschwanzteufel" is coming soon. Wishing you a Happy New Year! We have just finished building this aircraft. I have just finished painting this paint scheme based on UncleTgt's template. UncleTgt still needs to tune the airfile and tests it in a mission. There are still a lot of work left...
