Custom Skins / Bf 109G-10 "Green 7"

« Last post by Devil 505 on December 04, 2025, 11:05:36 PM »

This is a replacement for Fencer's Jg 300 skin.

Bf 109G-10 of 11./JG 300. Prague-Kbely, Czechoslovakia. May 1945. This aircraft was a late production G-10 from the Erla plant finished in overall RLM 81 dark green. At some point the engine cowling was replaced with parts from an earlier built Erla G10 that was painted in gray camouflage. The prop spinner and oil tank cover were painted in RLM 70 black-green. The blue-white-blue Reich defense band which wraps the tail and a bright green 7 are highly visible against the dark camouflage paint.

Here's the skin I'm replacing Edbert's original.

Fw 190D-9 flown by Werner Zech of 14./JG 26 on March 18, 1945. On this day, IV./JG 26 was bounced near Dümmer Lake by Mustangs of the 339FG. As soon as Capt. Francis Gerard reached a firing position behind Werner Zech's D-9, Zech bailed out and landed with minor injuries.

Technical Support / Re: Server to download Map's

I used to never have issues with downloading terrains until a few months ago when the Server started to freeze and I noticed at the same time my Frame Rates were dropping while downloading a map but I didn't take that into consideration since I was only downloading a new terrain and not playing the game at the same time.

I still think a timer for those in the tower (10-15 minutes) and then pull them out of the ENY calculations. Hitech liked the idea,, just getting him to coad it up might be the issue at this point.

Bish ENY was at 25 for a good part of the night (Thursday) and the Puppies were having squad night. ENY would jump as we mustered in the tower for the mission, but even after we launched it was still very high.

I was thinking as many on our radio were complaining about the ENY, if we where on the other side with a crap ton of players hitting us, would they still be complaining, but about being ganged? Take ENY away, or soften it up and those getting hit with it may be happy, but when the tide turns and the other team has the soft hit of ENY and are slamming you with a horde, are you thinking its still a good idea?

The biggest issue with ENY..... and has always been, is the players not being comfortable using crappy planes to fight. The last missions of the night for the Puppies was to sink a battleship group. With the ENY we were stuck with crappy planes with crappy bomb loads. Some guys hit it 3 or 4 times and dying each time. They finally got it but I know a number of guys logged off because they did want to bother with the ENY.

I think ENY can be cleaned up. I wish Hitech would go through and re-evaluate the ENY of each plane as I think things have changed through the years. I dont think it can be "fixed" as your never going to make everyone happy, but if it is cleaned up and the tower sitters can be removed from the ENY count it might be enough to calm the player base.

Im starting a potetion to ban all current shade cheaters from the game. Who is with me?

If anyone can positively identify the "shade cheaters"..... otherwise it reeks like an ICE raid.

Tonight 42 Bish, and for a period of time only 23 in flight. They got hit with a 17 ENY.
The ENY was right for the total count, but with only 23 in flight they kinda got burned for that period of time,...less planes in the air, and not top shelf AC. When it's low 20s across the board in all countries in flight,.. they actually got the short straw.

Changing this could relax some banter against ENY - when it's working as intended.

I think the way this happens causes some angst towards ENY.

The problem I imagine on the graph, going on in-flight, is a lot of peaks and valleys, constantly changing. It could be a careful what you wish for thing.
Even if it was put on a delay script, it may be less accurate.

<shrug> only HT knows.

MAYBE time-out is the lessor of two evils?
Just leave it be?
