Gingerwelsh Posted January 5, 2022 Posted January 5, 2022 (edited) Learning the editor. Witness this momentous occasion, as I escort this Typhoon in to land, after its take off, cross country circuit and successful landing. Produced in the edtor in order to understand its magic, I finally managed to get it to work as intended and without fault. It only took me 2 days! . . . . .. Edited January 12, 2022 by Gingerwelsh 6

Always keen to collect any 325th skins ❤️ Still working on it. The template is not out yet, so it's a bit more work. I like the checker tails as well. They had sexy planes and flew all over Europe covering 15th AF bombers. They fought over Romania a lot, going to Ploiesti and around the area. This particular plane has a bit more interesting history. In August 1944, Romania capitulated and switched sides. Due to the Ploiesti oil campaign, 1100 US pilots and aircrews, that were shot down over Romania, were captured and kept as POW by the Romanians. As soon as the armistice, in fear of the US POW's being "captured" by the Soviets, The POW's together with Romaina AF, worked out a scheme to rescue the Americans and return them to their lines. This was known as "Operation Gunn". https://festungploesti.wordpress.com/2019/08/29/75th-anniversary-of-operation-gunn/ On August 27th, Romanian ace, Capt Cantacuzino flew Lt Col Gunn, (the highest rank US POW in Romania), in a Romanian Me-109G, with Gunn in the radio compartment behind the pilot, all the way to Italy. The two were able to reach Gunn’s B-24 base at San Giovanni Airfield, Italy safely after a two hour flight. This was Cantacuzino's plane: There are skins for this plane available. After they landed in Italy, some Mustang pilot wanted to try Cantacuzino's BF-109. He flew it but damaged it during landing. The 15th AF quickly organized a rescue mission with specially prepared B17's. The Romanian Pilot received a P-51B and three more US mustangs as excort, to fly back to Romania to organize the relocation of the US POW's to an Airfield close to Ploiesti. Everything went smoothly and on August 31st 38 B-17 landed in Romania and started evacuating the POW's. P-51B "Mustang", SNr.43-24795, Nr.71 "Sleepy Ann", of the 318th. Fighter Squadron, 325th, is the plane Cantacuzino flew back to Romania. Edited January 8, 2022 by Jaws2002
Diggun Posted January 9, 2022 Posted January 9, 2022 Some of the most amazing weather I've yet seen online tonight on Finnish. It's often very clear skies there, and the server has only begun to scratch the surface of what the new clouds and weather offers, so it was great to see a mission run like this today. The clouds really enhance gameplay and force accurate navigation and tactical thinking. After an abortive attempt on a run on the ships which involved me & @TheDome having to ditch bombs early (but then resulted in us killing 1x109 and 3x110's in our Hurricanes), we were joined by @dukethejuke and @DOCvt. We ran 1x long distance bombing run to the opposite side of the map, destroying 60% of one target in one run for no loss... Then ran 4x Hurribombers against the German ships. Result? 8x bombs dropped, 7x ships destroyed. Duke and Doc ate some AAA, but all Misfit aircraft managed to get back to base safely. All transits were done at altitude, and there was no 'knuckle dragging' involved. We all agreed it was one of the most visually arresting and interesting evenings we've had playing IL2. Thank you to the Finnish server team, and we hope to see more realistic weather conditions in future! It really adds something! 8 2

BlitzPig_EL Posted January 9, 2022 Posted January 9, 2022 Jaws, if you ever do one with "23" as the number... And yeah I know the real 23 was shot down over Italy, per Mongoose, many years ago.

And yeah I know the real 23 was shot down over Italy, per Mongoose, many years ago. I'll finish this one after the template is released and I'll certainly do more. Matching and lining up those checkers on all the bits of the tail is the hard part, Just smooth sailing from here. I would just like to do it on the professionally made, official template, not on bits and pieces i scavenged from the official skins, like this one. ? Just show me a photo, or profile of the plane and I'll do it.
