Sry, I was really busy last time with real life. I've more time now and promise, I'll finish GR.1 Tonka ;-)

VonS' latest release includes revisions to the FLIGHT folder that further enhance immersion. If this interests you, an additional mod will improve appearance even more. Stary's HDR shader tweak, for DX10 or higher, will add shaders that deepen the colors a bit making them appear a little more realistic. Its subtle, but noticeable if you look for it. HDR Mod 1.01A.7z

I can't spare time for the map work..I'm sorry to announce my work very early..

WWII not really my thing outside of of the well known or less well known....have the Meteor Fmk1 Vs V1 flying bomb (WWII) Osprey book and even got another called Zeppelin Vs British Home Defence (WW 1) - very funny seeing some of the failed aircraft they had designed as Zeppelin interceptors. Have just started reading MiG-23 Flogger in the Middle East 1973 to 2018 which kinda follows on from the Arab MiG series so might be less of interest. https://www.amazon.co.uk/MiG-23-Flogger-Middle-East-Gurevich/dp/1912390329 The research collaboration and technical knowledge from this author has improved vastly compared to what he was putting out 14 years ago.

This morning, I started work on the camo skins for the Breguet XIV.

twas a typical lazy day, at any given airfield...

Hereee they come !!

thank´s

The soviet war literature is the same as the american. "We are the heros, the others are the dumb fools." An other thing were the military literature, which was intended to teach lessons to the new military generation. From tanks over planes to air defence. There were also analysis of different wars after WW2, from Korea to Falkland, and mostly without any idiological rubbish. Biographies would be also interessting. Pokryshkin, the soviet no 2 ace in WW2, wrote a very interesting one. Then there was a czech or slovak author. Franticek Faitle, who fought first in the RAF and then moved to the USSR and then was transfered into the area of slovak national rebellion to fight with La-5FN against the german Luftwaffe in Slovakia. Problem. All in german translation. I doubt, that english translations are available. Edit, the czech pilot was: František Fajtl https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/František_Fajtl

JG52, eastern front. Staffel markings also are color coded (the numbers II/JG52 would have differing number colors from III/JG52, as well as Stab (think of that as the HQ flight) with the varying chevrons, lines, circles, dots, etc. LW markings is a whole seperate level of expertise; and there's a plethora of info availalbe. You just gotta dig deep ------------ required screenie: Sunset, and off to work

The Belle...

VonS' new effects are gorgeous.

The guys are doing Sterling work on the R.11 files, while I work on the skins. Progress shots below.

June 15, 2018 Update: Several planes and airships added, including the mid-war Schütte-Lanz types 6 to 11, Zeppelin Q class and British R.23 type airship (all player-flown), the Spad A.2 110hp and "retrofitted" 80hp variants, the Lebed 7 (unlicensed Tabloid copy), an obscure, lower-compression 210-220hp variant of the Spad 7 possibly flown by Rudolf Windisch, a very rare Nieuport 16 for the eastern front (possibly DUX-built), lower-flying Zepps and R.23 type airships for the GroundObjects folder, new fire, explosion, and gun fire and smoke effects, reworked snow and rain effects by Stary, high- and low-variant cloud effects, new ambient sounds (more subtle), and other tweaks as explained in the included "Read Me" file. Please look over that file, and the included pic. of the ver. 9.5 FM updates, for more info. regarding what's new. Happy flying, Von S

That nose has really given me trouble .. I'll probably take a stab at it again soon ..

Excellent work there guuruu. Looking forward to this one. Cheers.

Final tweaks take always 2 weeks.

VonS is already hard at work on the Junkers FM - I will start the cockpit soon. Got a little work done on the Pfalz D.III (not D.IIIa). As usual, click shot for hi-res image.

Dressed to kill..........

Hello everyone. In this life we do not choose our destiny. Unfortunately I suffered a very serious accident and am unable and recovering. I am sending the work to my friend Denis and he will continue. thank you all. I hope someday to be what I was before
