Oboe, I did some checking and there was never a warbird painted in that scheme.  If you look closely at the crew, I believe it to be a screenshot from a game, such as IL2 or DCS.

Cheers

Thanks Fencer - I really got fooled by that color shot.  Looks so real to me.  Maybe the new MSFS?

I will go back to the standard antiglare color scheme then.   I'm busy this weekend but will pick up work on the skin again next week.

Ya know.. I miss skinning, enjoy it.

Are you still in AH Fencer? Ran into you once in WoT.

[Fencer51]

I have not played WoT since 2012ish.. played some WoWS up until Feb this year, they screwed it up for DDs to much for me.

I quit flying AH in 2014ish.. had not flown the MA for a couple years before that.. canceled my sub a few years after that.

My nerve damage from my congenital spinal stenosis just makes it too hard to fly.

So upset that I had to have my neck surgery in 2003, they had to replace parts of my spine at the neck with two rods.
So I cannot look up or look left kr right more than a few degrees.  In fairness I was going paralyzed, so I am grateful.
Would really had enjoyed VR in DCS.

Good to see you around again though Treize, always enjoyed flying with you in the MA and in scenarios.

Hey Fencer, any chance for improvement with physical therapy? 

Was just thinking, Aces High has a unique implementation of views in VR - the view hat switch is still functional, so you can set and save 'views' just like we did before, but also have the benefit of being in VR.  Dunno why the other sims don't implement it this way.
