hmmm, quite a few custom made skins on that Site... and not one of them pink!

What's wrong with these people? Don't they know that when you get a chance to make custom skins, they should be pink?

I mean, that's how it would be in Aces High, right? yup, that's what they say...

Those arent just skins, many are full all out new 3D models. The ironic thing is this mod feature is actually what ruined the game for me and many others at JCN. You see the first thing they unlocked was the FM code, and it only took a few days for the cheaters to appear en-masse in online play. Initially it was kinda fun for me to get accused of cheating every time I whooped somebody in a dogfight at JCN but after a while the novelty of that wore off because it then happend practically every game and of course there were actually loads of cheaters. Thats when I quit Janes WW2 Fighters and several months later I started playing AH.

And now these mods are the only thing keeping the game alive....

GH, on Hyperlobby you can still play. They also have it so that it checks for the original FMs.
With MODs you can't play.

Jane's was sure ahead of their time when they produced their sim! I'd put it on automatic and just watch the fly-by view:)

The textures and details are nice, but HTC's P-51D actually has a more accurate shape despite the low poly count... look at the profile and compare it to a photo, especially the canopy but the nose as well. Warbirds 3 made similar mistakes on their Mustang. Looks like crap IMHO (though their F6F is even more inaccurate). My only complaint about HTC's "outdated" models are the octagonal shapes of the radial engines.

I still have all the Jane's games on my hard drive and try to keep up with the mods as well

The only Jane's game I am missing is Apache Longbow series.

That P-51 model is rubbish. It's all out of proportion.

And the Spit looks a bit weird. Presumably it's a Griffon engined later Mark (going by the bumps in the nacelle), but it just looks strange.

Skins are nice though.

Longbow Gold and F/A-18 don't want to load on my Win2k system, unfortunatly.

The P51 really only has 2 problems:

1. Canopy too tall and too "peaky".
2. Spinner too blunt.

These make the plane look too short and tall, otherwise its excellent.

The Spitfire vertical stab is too small but everything else looks really good for a MkXIVe (cannon fairing reversed though) or MkXVIII.

Either way they are much better in overall appearence to the AH models.
