Google: ww2 nose art Fiona.

Look in the images. A nice large picture will be there. But, the game's squad who created that scheme's WEB page is up for sale.

I'm curious about the camouflaged. What RAF unit flew with that? I couldn't find anything on the internet other than Fiona's nose art. Is it real or, did the other game allow custom squad art schemes including camouflage?

AH skins have to be of actual real life aircraft that saw service in WW2. As Ack Ack pointed out that is a fantasy scheme and so would not be allowed in the game. Besides which all the D-11 slots are full so it is unlikely we will see any more Razorback skins until the Jug shape gets redone by HTC.

Looks like it is the D-20 from Wings of Power II. Not really a simm\game like AH2. WW2 fighter addins for MS Flight simulator. With all of their authentic high detail eyecandy, I wonder how many planes could actually fly together before everyone's FPS dropped to 2?

That is the real magic of our game. That balancing act HiTech has mastered to allow so many of us at the same time to fly next to each other with so many different PC\Laptop from old dogs to thoroughbreds on meth.

This latest generation of 3D models in the game for our playability purposes look very close to WoPII. And Fester with his last map showed if you want to give up a year of your life, you can make realistic real world like terrains with the AH terrain tool for the MA.

Ack-Ack, do you know how the real world looking terrains are created in WoPII, WT and IL2? How do they end up with what looks like an aerial survey map of Europe with transportation arteries and everything else we expect to see out of the window of a plane? Short of major road systems and rail, Fester's and Greebo's last maps are very realistic more so than many.

She's chubby for one, and then we should talk about the rotund bird painted on the cowling.

was there actually a P-47 painted like that in WW II ? If so no wonder the British needed help. It does remind one of a Holstein.

It's a fictional RAF P-47.
