Post by: AKIron on September 18, 2002, 04:31:04 PM: off topic but recessed screws brought to mind "zeus" fasteners.

Trivia question: What was the first US aircraft to use 'em?

Hint: the aircraft was discontinued, one of the excuses was the use of these fasteners.

Don't know, but it was probably a chopper. They seen to be quite popular on them.

Post by: AKIron on September 18, 2002, 04:44:37 PM: not a chopper - another hint: was jet powered.

Post by: AKIron on September 18, 2002, 04:50:06 PM: Trivia question was based on what I heard long time ago. Just did some research and it appears that what I'd heard wasn't true. Zeus fasteners appear to have been is use on WWII A/C.

The B58 Hustler is what I had in mind. Sorry.

Thanks Superfly!

Post by: Kweassa on September 18, 2002, 07:44:06 PM: Anyone notice the trend of newer planes bearing Squad/individual markings where older planes generally had them removed from the skins??

The Bf109E-4 bears the "Schlageter" shield emblem, and I'm sure there are quite some more recent planes that bears markings.

...

Maybe the facelift Bf109G-6 would get to have the "Usch" red heart?? :)

Post by: cajun on September 19, 2002, 12:02:43 AM: I don't really care much about face lifts (though some of the older planes do need them) as much as I do new aircraft/features!

What kinda aircraft and other stuff r u thinking about?

Superfly/Pyro concentrate on the picture below... you feel your eyes lids getting heavy, heavy.... you are getting sleepy, sleepy, sleepy, yes sleep...
*Pyro/Superfly falls asleep*
Whenever you hear the words "What planes should we add" you will respond "Add the Gloster Gladiator and Cr.42"
Now, You will wake up when you hear the snap of my fingers.
*snaps fingers*

Oh yeah BTW I'll even pay ya 15$/month as well if u add a biplane!! :D:D

Post by: Puke on September 19, 2002, 12:37:35 AM: Excellent choice in P-51 markings!

Post by: moot on September 19, 2002, 12:41:34 AM: Hopefully the 'white' planes get their silver reskinning, otherwise it's probably not until the 3d engine is reworked that we'll see it.

Post by: Duedel on September 19, 2002, 02:46:35 AM: Argh, why only asking for one little bone???

U should have asked for a whole skeleton!!!

BTW: Bump mapping?

(http://www.preddy-foundation.org/images/CAM4secondtonone.jpg)

Might as well do a little advertising while were talking about Preddy and the 352nd.

Second to none!!!!!!!!! (http://www.352ndfightergroup.com)

And how could I let a post that mentions Preddy go without posting a link for the petition (http://www.PetitionOnline.com/PPAFB);)

Ok I'm done:D

Post by: fats on September 19, 2002, 06:31:11 AM: The american planes will remain white/grey until better materials ( shaders ) are implemented. My guess anyway.

Post by: GRUNHERZ on September 19, 2002, 09:38:25 AM: What about the LW planes? For example the Bf109G6 is made from the G10 fuselage with the round bulges added, when it should use the G2 fuselage with bulges. Can you guys redo the Bf109s next please? And please widen the oilcooler.

Post by: hazed- on September 19, 2002, 01:29:15 PM: I gotta say it, I feel sorry for Superfly when the community asks him to throw them a bone and he does so, only to get requests for more work on other models.

Hes probably in the middle of fixing the P51d and already before hes finished we're asking for more.

Lets just let him do his work eh?

btw now that i have made them all feel a little guilty, can i have DESERT camo on my 109s!!!! :D

SNORK!

hehehe
Title: Superfly, Natedog, throw us a bone please!!!
Post by: JimBear on September 19, 2002, 02:02:29 PM: Didnt we have desert camo on the wings of one model of the 109 in beta?

Post by: midnight Target on September 19, 2002, 03:52:49 PM: Could ya please just get rid of all those dang luftwabble planes! No one likes them, and they don't fly fer chit! I know I've tried.
Title: Superfly, Natedog, throw us a bone please!!!
Post by: newguy on September 19, 2002, 11:57:58 PM: yea the 109g10 used to have desert camo. I also seem to remember it having half and half for a short period as well. (half desert, half what we have now). I liked the desert scheme ;)

newguy
ASSASSIN
Title: Superfly, Natedog, throw us a bone please!!!
Post by: oboe on September 20, 2002, 06:30:54 AM: That's odd. The G10 being a 1944 plane, I wouldn't have guessed it saw much action in the desert...

I hope Superfly and Natedog, and all HTC take our pleas/whines with a grain of salt. We all love the game or we wouldn't be here. And I think it would be worse if Super posted a screenshot, and no one even commented on it. Now THAT would be sad.
Title: Superfly, Natedog, throw us a bone please!!!
Post by: Pongo on September 20, 2002, 10:43:14 AM: I dont think that the Beta G10 was intended to be in desert camo.
It was in a speculative late war scheme.
Lots of people are debating the exact tone of some of the late war german paints..
look at some of these.
G10-1 (http://204.50.25.179/gallery01/bf109g10lcw_1.htm)

g10-2 (http://204.50.25.179/features01/bf109g10bm_1.htm)

so the beta G10 was done from one of those somewhat contentios and speculative late war schemes...I believe

Post by: Glasses on September 20, 2002, 06:53:40 PM: I do hope the 109s get the next poly upgrade after the pony they're one of the older planes from Beta and just post-beta that got introduced. I think they will be :D
