Missing 20mm M61A1 Vulcan (PGU-28) from the 'Guns' folder 20MM_M61A1_PGU-28.7z

About 95% of work on the 3d model has been completed only some minor details need to be added then it's finished. next, I will do the UVW and texturing.

SitRep: River Donez is now placed on the map. It is a boring job, but so it is. Next step will be to place some side rivers of the Donez on the map. To the names on the map. Because it is a disputed area with russian and ukrainian names i will use the german names of the rivers and towns of that area. My source is the book "Verlorene Siege" by Feldmarschall Erich von Manstein, who fought from 1942 to 1944 in that area.

I am not a military expert regarding world air force wings and there colors. But it seems that a lot of textures has been uploaded and this is twice that it happened, no one notice them. Something's wrong here! Mandatory screen

just a simple shot taken on my new(ish) school laptop, in Win11

SitRep: Street network of the Crimean Peninsula is layed out. The tiling of river Donez has started, the first marking points for the river tiles are now on the map. (If you look carefull on the map below you will find a blue dotted line, which is difficult to see, starting at the end of the Asowian Sea. Thats it.) In a next step i will connect this points so that the river Donez will be present on the map. The tiling of the rocky south coast of the Crimean Peninsula is finished. The planning map now looks so:

I just finished watching Rick’s “How to WOFF,” which are excellent by the way Rick. I’m not equipped to make videos but I thought it a good idea to start a thread for Players/Spieler to talk about player options they favor which Rich touched on but didn’t have time to explain in a vid of reasonable length. So, I invite everyone to talk about your one or two of your favorite options and tell us why you like them. The one I wanted to start it off with is the All/Top Aces Only option. We all have our own approach to the Sim. Mine is a little different from Ricks’s and opposite in one particular area. Rick prefers to use only the Top Aces, I prefer to have them all. For those of you who are new to WOFF, have a look at the Skin Pack when you get a chance. There really are thousands of minor ace skins, mostly with well researched, authentic paint jobs. One of my main motivators to play the Sim is to imagine flying with these pilots. To see them on either side of me, know their names and something about the real pilots they represent. For me, this offers a deeper level of immersion and you’re missing a real treat that you paid for which is sitting in your computer taking up space. The personal markings on the machines add as much atmosphere and flavor to the Sim as the detailed clouds and landscape. To illustrate, below you’ll see two shots of Jasta 39 and two from Jasta 15, one with All skins (some are from the User Skins Mod) and the same Jasta with theTop Aces Only option. Jasta 15 was an elite unit with lots of top and minor aces while Jasta 39 has only a few minor ones. You can look up your comrades, most of them have a back story, a real one, see what information is there on them, often much more than you would expect. This can be done by going to the Intelligence Room and then looking in Pilot Dossiers or you can do a little research in your personal library if you have one. My go to books, since I usually fly German, are The Jasta Pilots and Above the Lines. These are published by Grub Street Press who also publishes similar books on the Allied Pilots. And, of course, there is always good old Google. You can Google or look up the enemies you face and maybe are lucky enough to shoot down, see how successful they were. See what stage in their career they were when you met and maybe defeated them or watched circle above you as you burn. That brings up another option you can use when you in Campaign, just toggle the labels to “labels Identity” and it will tell you if your opponent has a name. It gives me much more satisfaction in a kill to say “I shot down so and so” rather than just “I shot down a Camel.” Yes, the aces don’t die, even if shot down in flames, until their historical time to go West. They also don’t get credited with kills until they historically got credit regardless of how many they do or do not shoot down in the Sim. This is because they represent real pilots who had a real life. You may say to yourself, that’s just not realistic. Unrealistic would be a sky without these pilots in their individual and sometimes highly decorated machines. You have the same option the aces have, you can choose the “Pilot Never Dies” option. You may get shot down, but even a flaming death only results in a little longer hospital stay. Yes, I use this option much of the time. Think I’m a “Farb” if you want to but I’m not that great a pilot and I like to stick around awhile sometimes. And hey…this is Valhalla, (though I imagine most of the real pilots would think of it as Hell rather than a reward), they fight, they kill or they die and rise again to feast and carouse then ‘to bed…for tomorrow….BATTLE! Play around with the options that are there and see what’s right for you, and most of all have fun. Whatever you choose to use….nobody’s watching.

2.1 Changes: - Added missing 20mm M61A1 Vulcan (PGU-28) to 'Guns' folder. PGU-28 loads generally don't have tracers.

Looking good!

I like this tutorial for making a military truck from one side-view. I hope you will find it helpful.

Mosie power!

Thank you for the information Gepard, interesting that no one have found this mistake before on the skin as I didn't make it. I think it was with the Mig-21 MF file that I had downloaded. Another American flight legend.
