First some oldies I found on my HD.
A fine Campaign about Malayan Hurricanes, whoever the author is, Thanks Buddy, nice scripted Campaign.

Here's Eric's gift of my personal Ta152H.
The personal slogan is Knüppelsuppe ( ~ alit. trouble on the way) next to a
cartoonish ugly witch with her cooking pot and a black cat.
Here you see her in BAT on my WIP Germany Sued Crew QMBs checking up the scenery of the
former Me262 bases. My personal Ta152H on the prowl. Yeahhhh,

While testing up new Hotas/Rudder Sensitivity Settings
Dogfight near Vaenga, 2 nasty Messer chasing my Fireflies 4 Flight.
Picked up both, dogfighting this Gal is very hard.
-
I often thought that the Firefly was more of an attacker than a fighter... Still she was more of a heavy fighter in my book :-| :)
-
I can't recommend a turning Dogfight furball, as this was.
it is very intense and all the time at the edge of the FM.
The last victim I nailed out of luck at the outmost edge of a vertical loop peak,
Thanks to 20mms it got quick, any other caliber would have been nonsense here.
I just hung in the air, there was no speed left,
You're correct, more an Attacker, and heavy fighter.
But this was that I wanted really to know what you can and what not with this kite.
Decision, not my primary choice for dogfighting for sure.
-
Celebrating the Turkey here, I love that Plane, it can be a crap Model, wrong Pit,
Anyway love goes deeper than .msh.

Smolensk, a Gubi Training Mission re-visited, nice Mission with long flights.
Yesterday we had a visit from Hungary on the Server, did Smolensk and Tobruk
in a neat fashion. At least I brought back our Guest in a slightly crippled Ju87 Dora from
a visit over a red Airfield, well defended.
Hell what a ride. Luck on our sides we had a joyfull ride home, hehe.
Finally I have managed to tackle my Rudder Settings, now I'm able to do basic Taxi-to-T/O,
some nosers occur, but the frequency of trashing kites is within limits...
mudmowing is a big step forward with that tackled.

Not much flying these days, I'm flattened and recovering on some post-vaccination trips.
Peeps me out the brain...

Yesterdays Tobruk FAC Mission, running out of Targets I chased down a flock of 8 Bostons.
Too much Speed, I poured Marshmallows left and right.
Suddenly Clowns everywhere, on top of that 3 or 4 friendly AI Flights joining the Ring.
Then a noisy Plong and oil streaks across the Windscreen, a Tank on Fire, still chased the last Boston.
Than had to abort, as Clowns feared I'm gonna get roasted. Still had Ammo left.
The caring of our Clowns in time, so I made it back to Via Balbia outside Tobruk.
Engine seized, the burning over, Kite possibly a 50% write off.

I was still reluctant, 3 Fulmars, tought, shit, but hell, no need for fear,
you can finally do whatever is good to compete, even overwhelming odds.
The new D.520 FM is insane, so good, you can now turn
her to good use. Real turning Dogfights
Just fantastic.
Watch closer to the last pictures, with damaged Cockpit, that Dogfight was a lowlevel freaky looping turning.
FM is like Taft Hairspray, still standing.

Thanks Mike for the work

Dare I say I didn't even change much.
The center of gravity is now where it should be, the prop fan curves have been adjusted and the drag lowered a bit to make it achieve it's designed top speed of about 550kph @4800m altitude.
One thing that's special about the D.520 compared to other aircraft is that it's comparably fast on the deck.
For instance a Bf 109E-4 outruns the D.520 at altitude (570 vs. 550 kph), but on the deck they're just the same.
This is not by accident, but historically accurate.

I started my own You Tube Channel :P
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxguBbJd8M0
Some options and things to consider at a You Tube channel are so
stupid. It's like dealing with presentation intended for 1 cellular individuals,
unable to think, act properly. Like a Baby zone, mash up the food and teach them how to
chum properly.

A lil insight into my current pending Texturing Projects
55th Fightergroup P-51s I have made a few, a decent Package emerges.
atm. I'm thinking about redoing the Baremetal Template, I'm not satisfied
completely with the results of the current.
My announced Greek Spitfires have a Date when I can take up work,
a MMP Book I ordered is pending delivery/publication as for 31th of Dec. 20022.
I expect it later, as some vendors have dates up to Feb. 2023 for such Dates to give.
HD - Congo crisis, UN and a mass bag of new AT-6 Skins for the Edlor Texans
The size is creepy, UN Forces are ready, I think I was close to completion when forgot about it.
My fear is that my Mediafireaccount crashes, when uploading this beast. I had it once in the past.
Dunno, will investigate next week and see how far the Pack is for a release or not.
Bunch of stuff, Rhodesian, RAF, SAAF, Luftwaffe, Frenchies, Portuguese, Belgian, Gabonais, and Heck knows what else.
IDF Jet frenzy, orgy, revamped, HD Jets, even more Bla-Bla,...
HD-IDF F-16s
I made a few in the past, someone pissed over the F-16s deliberately
being wrongly placed as for Details. That hurted, it fell right into my Cornflakes bowl.
Well, if crap is all we get with a Template, that is botoxed, warped, I'm proud to bear the candle.
I'm in the process of upgrading the regular F-16s Template, more detailed Level of everything.
Sadly the botox of warping limits use at the Sufa's on their CFTs.
Have to improvise a lot, I can foresee at the fuselage, hence I smell
why the basic Template was that crap.
But remember I get pissed upon that Detail when released. Will wear a raincoat.

1/3 is ready, still 2/3 to buckle
HD - IDF Kurnasses revisited
Will be layed up on Danperins HD, but I need more weathering, chipping, flaking,
still work ahead.

NEW HD - IDF Ahit aka A-4 Skyhawks
The Template needs a wheelchair, I'm in the proces of upgrading slowly.
Will do my best to make a real HD Template from scratch.
So far I'm at basic locating, setting up Things,
see how far I can get. Well, there are tiny parts that use one Texturing place, and
I don't know why got not merged with the CF mesh.
Any multicolour Scheme is hence having visual glitches. The only shortcoming,
the rest is improving gradually slowly.
Will post the non Decal Fix as well again, as with Decals it looks super goofish,
I'm not gonna skin with such dependencies here.
(https://i.postimg.cc/3NsWjBMm/IDF-Ahit-A-4-WIP.jpg) (https://postimg.cc/N2xgBRjj)
That's all I can remember noteworthy, apart from endless fiddling
on the Desert Hurries and Spitfires Pack, seems that one haunts me to the grave. Hehe.
Have a nice Day Gentlemen

Lasers, X-4, Reichsstahl, Elfensperrholz, fancy stuff, good weapons aren't easy,
or was it the other way around easy weapons aren't good... Yeah
Head on Bomber attack, muah boring
Using Guns and Cannons, sleepy well
Kommando Stamp Me262 drop AB 250/500 Bombs air-to-air
WfrGr.21 air-to-air
Until you went for using Krebsgerät
No sight, no clue, just a universe of guess
such a stupid weapon, but we aren't Il-2 1946 if we can't get fun
after 40 retries I stopped counting reflies,
I messsed up the overfly, due to another attempt, frustration grown, overfly must be perfect, perfect hair, combed,
trim, watch Instrument, heck you're
trying the most stupid weapon for precision I don't know
AI whiggled, I pulled slightly left and said "screw this", it not gonna explode near them
What ?
The explosion tipped his right wing, down he went,
such a bad attempt, shot from a stupid angle, approach overpass,
AI started whiggling, had to avoid collision, then banked slightly left,
frustration, estimated 70 tries and no damage done, hit the button, from a stupid
offset position, pure luck...
Settings 200m 0.5 Secs, Must be different to your usual 600m 21cm Setting w. long delay fuze.

For those not in the know:
The "Krebsgerät" (crab device) was a single rearward firing WfrGr.21 rocket fitted under Fw 190 A8 fighters.
Never used operationally, it was one of the brain farts where theory never matched reality.
In theory, the device would fire automatically while the Fw 190 would perform a head-on pass, flying above the targetted bomber with just some tiny altitude difference.
The speed differences would almost equal the rocket's speed, thus negate each other, and the rocket, exploding 1.5~2 seconds after launch, would "almost certainly" hit the target or explode nearby.
In reality, it was impossible to aim and judge the target speed or altitude difference accordingly, and since the fighter would have to fly a straight line across the enemy bomber, it was deadly - for the fighter, not for the bomber, because like Tobi witnessed, the crab device usually proved to be a crap device and simply miss the target with a 99%+ probability.

Cool Info, Thanks a lot
That precisely I didn't knew this.
Yeah, since Installation of a block of four RPzB.190 / 54 "Panzerschreck" anti-tank grenade launchers under the wing of the Fw-190F fighter Tests
they found a fart fact for Rocket use:
During the tests, it turned out that for the targeted launch of projectiles, the attacking aircraft had to move at a speed of about 500 km / h, otherwise the missile was off the trajectory.
To withstand such a high speed at the ground and at the same time to carry out the launch of rockets in some one and a half hundred meters from the target, only a real aces could do it.
As a result, the tests were considered unsuccessful.
500, I reached that two times, when coming from high, Nuts
High speed=nano mil window of success, that's impossible in my universe, current skills :P
Is a Beginners friendly Weapon to create, I start with the Launcher, the rest is already ingame.
It will take a while to create the Krebsgerät, it's my first open Mesh. Prepped my Lappi here,
just have to tackle the Mesh Exporter, it's been a while since used 3-D.
Tried out Blender lately, but I don't like the GUI/menu there, it's complicated like Gimp.
But it's fun to create it, lots of fun I dare to say
:D

USS Enterprise CV-6 and Catapults
pre 1943

seldom used, required relocation of 2-3 wires to use the original catapults.
This setup I did for fun, with forward wires still there, a fun work around.
USS Yorktown and Hornet, also seldom used,
but they can be used too. Have a slightly different catapult layout.
I decided to tinker with the 1944 state of art, removing the 7 forward arrestor wires
and install their post-Midway until March 1945 refitting of Catapults.

This depicted Catapult is one of 4 used on Big E, 42, 43, March 45 repairs, April/May 45 another repair
The last 3 are looking similar, instead doing 2 silly clones I decided the 44 is enough to showcase this.

where the heck is the Enemy airfield? I flew circles the remainder of the Mission searching that
crap base.
