Nothing like I've never noticed (nevertheless, I play in FE1, but not FE2). But if you suddenly decide to deal with this bug (the key word - if), it's possible that you also may want to tweak the elevator control cables? In fact, this plane’s elevator control cables pass through the horizontal stabilizer (as in other Nieuports). -
Yeah, perhaps it is something good. It is a pity that I do not have SF2 -
That's it! Thanks for the info. I did not even know that this effect is contained in the Morane N download. Well, I will have to get down to work in the morning. I think that some of Stephen's Albatrosses D would look very appropriate with commander's pennants. It would be a great honor to shoot down a bird with marks. Then my "sense of victory" will fly up to an unattainable height.

There are some great skins for it made by WINGSOVERISRAEL at: http://combatace.com...ogfoot-a-skins/ Thaks for the link. It should be noted that Ukrainian Digital camo, presented there, is erroneous. Firstly, the bellies and lower surfaces of the wings is painted gray color (but not in camouflage, as shown there). Secondly, the vertical tail markings are not correct. Logo with a small red star, which is shown here, is fictitious. In reality, Ukrainian Su-25s carry another emblem (on the left side of the fin, but not both sides, as shown there). I am responsible for the criticism, because I am an eyewitness. But there are also numerous photographs that confirm my words. -

Oho! Pennants (streamers)! How did you do this? And they really are fluttering in the wind, or simply stretched as snot? IMHO, that it is not binding for all, but it's very, VERY interesting addition.

I must say that it is completely incorrect skin! Unfortunately... -
I'll be extremeley pleased to help you. I believe it will be useful for you to download the book (if you have not done so, of course): http://www.airwar.ru/other/bibl/i15bis_to1.html On the pages 99-105 there are some illustrations on your issue.

You're right. The upper wing in the sea-gull shape applied in I-15 did not satisfy military pilots. Of course, nothing obstructed the upward and forward view of the pilot. Along with this, the view during landing and transverse stability became worse. That is why N. Polikarpov received an order to design a variant equipped with a straight wing - I-15bis (I-152). Except for the upper wing, the aircraft did not differ from its predecessor thought the maneuverability decreased (turn time comprised 12 seconds instead of eight). However the production was considerably larger: since 1937 until 1939 2,678 airplanes were manufactured. (I-15 was produced in a limited quantity of 385 airplanes. 155 I-15 airplanes which was 40% of all manufactured aircraft, aviated by Soviet pilots-volunteers fought in Spain. Besides, the Spanish republicans produced 287 fighters like that). According to other sources, in 1938 93 1-15bis airplanes were transited through France to the government of Spain but only 30 were successfully delivered.

Like, sir, not to be picky but the I-15 fighter (as well as the I-15bis variant) was armed with a less rapid-fire machine guns PV-1 with a fired 750 rounds per minute. Soviet 7,62 mm PV-1 machine-gun was a lighter modification of the Maxim machine-gun. Air cooled.
