Salut, Ted! Mir geht es gut! Et toi?



I was recently told I apologize too often, so I will do it here a final time for posting too many screens and mostly Post WWII.
The new Histo has many improvements for 2nd WW planes and focussed on those. Changes for PostWar planes are in as well, for Sabres most notably the new jet smoke in 3D and the newly assigned cockpit colours..
Also it introduces the seperation of eras, so you can shoose either WWII or PostWar (which also contains propeller planes)-
Since I mainly love jets and maps, I show a little after action report here with dozens (2 to be exact) of screens.

The first map (I did forget it ain't stock) is redko's Kyushu,....

(..first post..)
...in a slightly modded version by Uufflakke, the 2nd map is Barents'sea aka MiSp Zapolar'e. I only edited my personal water colour wish after some searching. This map is stock in Histomod WWII.

If anyone has questions on how to use custom maps on top of the current Histo, feel free to pm or post, here or at Histomod.
I'm am not a modder but I do know which maps work with Histo and 4.09m...also make sure to try the new Histomod WWII map:
LYBIA_1941_1943
Try at 17.00 a mission around Tobruk, map by MANYSH. Looks awesome!

Or Benghalli by Avala, like Grand Canyon now with waterfalls. My favourite US map is Puerto Rico by CzechTexan..which is now also in Histomod.








OK, shots.. ;dd

Little Trainig flight in East Asa turned out to be an interception of rogue Korean jets...(PS: Korea maps are also updated to latest standard)...




The bad boys




Check six before closing in as ground control guides me (Check manual for new ground control mods (by CY6)



Look and lock!



Good hit, tanks off!






And...


No2








....
And now to something completely different...a NATO flight in fancy colours set ca. 1955
Barents Sea...


A surprised Lt. Tom was told that he had to risk his new Demo skin by Puma for an unexpected Scramble!

These guys were inbound, somewhere Democratic Republic of Germany's Mig-17s had gone rogue during a Warsaw Pact exercise..


What started good..




..went bad quickly, as ground control had a day off during that airshow day and visual ID showed targets way off east..but they were not..

Wingy was hit, I tried to escape and reform..




Too late..while this happened, I was able to fire away two Sidewinders just the second!




Needless to say I was pretty upset lol..






I think this was the bad guy..


Bad day, only hope was tea wasn't yet served at my homebase..


Next time better...!
I try to pusuade lebig regarding the former skin and pilot packs, but e.g. the Tiger skins are here..

IMHO also the pilot skins need to be uploaded, if in doubt, I have them. :wink:
