Pretty clear we have to bring a bit more fun to this one. I don't think it will be a pattern.

Aces High General Discussion / Offline Missions with Custom Skins
« Last post by ZANZIBAR on Today at 01:24:58 AM »Is there a way to create offline missions with custom skins or edit existing offline missions to do this same thing. My idea is to have custom skins that I have created to fight AI with.

Custom Skins / A Mismatched 109G-10
« Last post by Devil 505 on Yesterday at 11:15:41 PM »Bf 109G-10 of 6./JG 52 surrendered to American troops at Ainring, southern Germany on May 8th 1945. II/JG 52 had been fighting against Soviet forces in eastern Austria and southern Czechoslovakia in the final months of the war. All squadrons escaped capture by the Russians by flying west on May 8th, most landing at Neubiberg, surrendering to the Americans there. But "Yellow 6", "Yellow 12", and "Black 12" only went as far as Ainring.
"Yellow 6" was the most visually interesting of these three. It was originally built in the Wiener-Newstadt production system in late 1944 or early 1945 and initially used by the Gruppenstab of I/JG 53 as evidenced by the over-painted Ace of Spades emblem on the cowl and the chevron/triangle shaped cover-ups on the fuselage. Yellow nose band and rudder served as IFF markings. I/Jg 53 was disbanded and it's aircraft were given to II/JG 52, probably along with the pilots and crews. At this point this plane was made part of 6./JG 52 and given it's yellow number and Gruppe bar. What isn't known is when the port wing was replaced with an all light green unit. Even the insignia positions differ from the starboard wing. The aircraft's spine was painted in a solid color, which is unusual and might be evidence of repair. One of the plane's pilots decorated the fuselage under the canopy with a "pissing" man.

Thanks for switching sides to try to balance the numbers, Dantoo. We're in a weird state now where both sides can be within their commitment ranges, but when one side is on the high end and the other on the low that difference is enough to unbalance the whole event.

« Last post by Busher on Yesterday at 09:20:42 PM »The names and quotes come from study of the subjects.
Your assumption that government makes it better assumes there are better people in government than there are in business. A quick study of government proves the percentage of criminals is at least as high in government as it is in the private sector. And the criminals in government are far less likely to be prosecuted, and less likely to face stiff sentences if they are.
I think your final sentence speaks volumes to current events. Not gonna touch that!
