Well S**t...I give up on the wingman protection program. Got Leibermann through 20 missions and he runs head on into a DVII. Just too much work and with my own bacon hanging out there to boot.

How nice for you Rick! The Rittmeister took a little Flak...eh. My boy has gotten his 2nd kill and a few more missions under his belt. Doing well and staying alive. Most of the missions recently have been behind our lines, that helps. I looked at all the other wingman pilots who have kills. Looks like they never have to make claims, maybe it is because I'm on the 2nd easiest claims thingie.

Sandbagger has hosted/posted version 3 of User skins and Alternatives. Pack 3 has 193 new skins/all the older skins have had an image quality upgrade and some rework. Some misplaced skins were removed from Pack 1 to Alternatives or deleted. So now there are 279 in there and 149 in Pack 2 and 124 in Alternatives. There are skins for Kest 1 and 3/some Fokker DVII {Alb) with five color wings and fuselages and t here are skins to fill in the BH&H2 gaps in Jastas 4/5/10 15 and 18. I made some early Pfalz DIII factory camouflage crates for Jasta 10 and put some in Kest One, just for Fun (poem). Pictures are posted here and on Combat Ace Forum.

I've got Leibermann highlighted when in a fight. There's no way I could track him otherwise. I don't really have time to help anyone else, he's a little agressive. He actually should be following me as my wingman but he doesn't, they very seldom seem to except that they usually join up with out after a fight. Independent lot!

New wingman to babysit. He's another one who comes with a victory but no claim. Gotten him through a few missions now. Had to pull a Drekmann from Jasta 4 in a Dr.1 off his tail in the last scrap. He got someone and made his first claim, I think it was one of the other Fokkers. Nursemaded him home with a chewed up wing.

Thanks, I was lost on that one. I should have asked my wife, she always knows the name of that singer or actor on that show...you know...the one about the guy with the apartment and the weird friends. My name retaining skills have always been bad. I think someone did put something in there, I've seen Paul Simon, Paul Neumann and the like on the rosters and there are a few aces that are some sort of inside joke, like Herbert 'Bubi' Boy in Ss-29.

Rick - don't understand the Lt. Frehley reference Anyway.... Stanley got whacked. Got separated from him during an airfield attack on Mars-la-Tour and we got jumped by Fokker DVIIs from Jasta 11. I made one of them pay for it. Have to start again with the next wing.

Seems to be all or none, they just crawl on like beetles until the flame up. They pause when the truck ahead of them gets flamed before going around. Hard headed things, I'd pull over if I were them. But then I'm not an AI.....I'm not an AI....Am I!!!!

Nope...it still takes 25 hits to flame up a truck. I'm not used to doing ground attack with twin guns, that must be it.

New game to play. Since now the AI pilots can learn, I thought I would see if I could keep my wingman alive and see him improved, maybe become an ace. Stanley isn't as green as I would have liked but he'll do. You have to survive awhile yourself to get a novice wingman. I cheated with "pilot never dies" just to make sure I got there. I'm going to watch over him like a mother hen, I will put the yellow target marking on him so I can keep track of him, lot's of cheating here but I'm not a purist anyway. We'll see how long this guy can last with a little help.

Looks like maybe the truck convoys are a softer target in BH&H2. First ground strafing I have done. Taking out trucks with no more than two passes, sometimes one, which never happened before. I'll have to check to see how many hits it takes now, used to take 25.

Love them clouds.

Nice fix on the pedals. That aughta hold er. Took down another one of mine. This is/was the new wingman skin for Jasta 64w. There wasn't one in the Skin Pack for this Staffel.

Summer...some people do stuff outside...not me, of course, but some people...so I hear.

I like to fly and fight in the areas where the skins I'm working on are active. Right now I'm with the 94th Aero in May 1918, flying against Jasta2 64w, 65 and Kest 1, which I am working on now. I took down an old DV still in use by Kest 1 this morning. Shot his wings off. Doing this serves an additional purpose in that I get to see whether the Sim is using the skins when you are not flying in the outfit you made them for. In this case I got to see that the Sim was using mixed aircraft for Kest 1, the DV and DVa together in the same flight.

And some more, This is all the thing will let me post.

Here are a few more, if this thread will allow me to post them.

Just some info: This is Version 2.0 of User Skins. The download has 2 separate folders. Pack 1 is the original mod with a few skins removed as irrelevant and a couple more added to make 284 sins. Pack 2 is 147 new skins, including some for the American 1st Pursuit Group. Jastas 64w and 65 who opposed the Americans in the Toul area have some new skins, including a wingman skin for the Jasta 64w Pfalz which had been overlooked. Alternate skins version 2.0 has some new skins, making 91 in the pack. I am, again, posting some screenshots in the screenshot thread here and on Combat Ace. Enjoy Jerbear

No Troop...you cannot. Something else to add. The Alternative skins do not pernanently overwrite the WOFF Skin Pack skins. The JSGME saves them and puts them back, safe and sound, when you deactivate the Mod.
