I've always liked Ernst Udet's DVII.




I'd also love to fly Bruno Stachel's DVII as described in the book The Blue Max.
However it's not historic and Skuzzy would have a fit.

I was thinking of doing that one, but every source I find shows it different. Some say the wing stripes are black, some say the fuselage stripes are wrong, some say it's got a black nose...

I avoided it because of the controversy. It would cause so many arguments its not worth it.

I personally like this RNAS, Squadron 10 Sopwith myself.

Not that I could skin it. I haven't tried doing things like that since early on in the IL-2 days when the templates were easy. I did several 109's and thought I did a pretty good job but someone else did all the panel lines for me. I was just a painter.

I've been talking to a couple of WWI authors and historians about Udet's bird (including Norman Franks, Greg Van Wyngarden and J.R. Williams) and the general consensus now on that one is that it was most likely black stripes and a black nose, like his Dr.I was. I can scan the profile matching that scheme from the Osprey book if anyone wants it to work from.

Did they change how you have to save skins for offline view? I can see it just fine in the skin viewer, but its doesn't appear in the drop-down menu in the hangar.

Trying to check how the colors look in the actual environment before I put too much work into it.

Looks like each skin has 2 files now as well.
