B-17 Tail Markings
« on: October 18, 2021, 02:22:29 PM »
I put together a pictorial showing the tail markings used by 8th and 15th Air Force B-17 groups late in the War.  Skins we have in the game are identified, and ones we don't have are greyed out.

This makes it a little easier to see where the holes exist in our skins coverage.  If anybody sees a need for a skin for a certain group for an upcoming special event, please let me know.  Thanks <S>

Actually somebody else put together all the drawings of the tail markings, I just reorganized the way it is presented and modified it to indicate AH's skin status.  They did it for B-24s and B-29s too.

Once I started it, I couldn't stop - I needed to see how it would turn out.

I like it except the default is by our buddy Fester.  I don't see his name.

I would personally like to see the default B-17 and B-24 skins changed to historically accurate skins for the following maps:

BOF44 - 8th AF
Germany - 8th AF
Rhnland - 8th AF
Italy - 15th AF
Greece - 15th AF
Danube - 15th AF

There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

That's awesome, I look at something similar for navy aircraft from time to time to see if i can find something that's been missed.
