A thoroughbred in any colours...

As you can see in the above piccie, I cannot get my decal to show on the lower part of the rudder. It's definitely not a decal position problem as I've tried lowering and it wont go lower than what you see.

It's definitely not tail and in any case that would cause my decal to appear where it's not wanted.

No but I wouldn't expect it to be that as tail is behind fuselage. I will give it a try tomorrow though.

I'd still like to know what that mesh is called but for the moment I've put the checkers on the bitmap.

Yes I fly on normal. The Spit's are very tricky! I've realised that it's not part of the rudder but a fixed section so I'll keep trying.

I've already tried 3 out of those 4 but will try the fourth.

Supermarine Spitfire F24 - No.69 Squadron, Israeli Air Force, November 1956

Supermarine Spitfire F.24 - Soviet Air Force, 1949 The 1946 UK-USSR Trade Agreement saw the sale of Rolls-Royce Derwent and Nene jet engines to the Soviet Union along with an unexpected order for 200 Supermarine Spitfire F.24's for the Soviet Air Force for delivery during 1947. Little was known about these aircraft until during the Berlin Airlift when they were frequently encountered whilst patrolling the air corridors before gaining infamy on March 24th, 1949 when two USAF C-54's were shot down by Soviet Spitfires.

I've always had a soft spot for the Skyray since building the Airfix kit in the 1970's but it's fair to say that it's original J40 engine let it down badly and by the time it came right it was no longer cutting edge. At one time there was a shore-based USN squadron at San Diego that was the only non-USAF interceptor squadron in the United States and which was run by the colourful Cdr Eugene Valencia who picked up the prestigious NORAD Trophy in 1957 and again in 1958 which must have really hurt the boys in light blue!

Curtiss Kittyhawk 1A - No.19 Squadron, Royal Air Force, 1938 Inspired by the classic Spitfire picture below my 'what if' needs Curtiss to have got the XP-40 into the air a lot earlier...

For a quick thrash in any AI aircraft you can amend your Options.ini to include the following line; FlyAll=TRUE This goes in the [singleMission] section and you just need to change FALSE to TRUE. This then makes all aircraft flyable by giving your AI aircraft the A-4B pit. It's no substitute for a dedicated pit or a suitable substitute but it's a nice little 'quick and dirty' mod.

LTV Corsair GR.3A - No.112 Squadron, RAF Middle East Command, 1991

Yes, I know all that. That's why I commented that Curtiss would have needed to have got the XP-40 into the air a lot earlier.

I thought that came in much, much earlier.
