I understand what your saying but just from my experience I find it easier... when flying blue you have to worry about what the target is... spit, hurri, or a bomber.... for red its.. speck of yellow and you instantly know its a 109.
If you think that's hard, try telling the difference between an E1 and an E4 from distance. :P

From my experience if you're close enough to see the yellow, you're close enough to know it's a fighter (109, spit, or hurri). Besides, unless you're at very high altitude or out over the sea, usually flak is a better identifier of enemy planes than direct visual. It's the exception to the rule that I spot an enemy plane as a spec and then catch the yellow nose without any other info to help out.

I would like to see skins back at some point though, when it's possible. I will say that I'm quite happy to not be seeing purple and yellow spitfires and red, white, and blue 109s flying around however.

Most annoying right now are the ghost formations that keep appearing and disappearing mid-sky

Is that still a problem? Can't say I have noticed it lately.

Definitely is still a problem. I saw six ghosts in my last session earlier today. Strange, though, since sometimes I see none at all whilst other times I get many.

Thank you again ATAG for your server! I fly quite seldom now, since I'm quite fed up of the situation, but last Sunday I flew an hour, exceptionally on the Red side, and I had a good fun in a Hurri, punishing the arrogant 109s and 110s that were raiding our airfield ...

Cheers!

Anyway thanks for the reply.
Hey klem, I know what you mean, real pita to lose all the text, is it. I almost lost this thread (we're fairly OT I must admit), sorry about the late reply mate.

Good conversation though, I really enjoy this and it's always interesting to read other's guys insights and share the knowledge so to speak. ;)

Ah I see.

Admittedly it seems to be written for the Rotol prop as there are a variety of rpms quoted for cruising but I don't know if the boost would have been lower for the DH5-20 in fine pitch (30.25') versus the Rotol (23'). Also, I believe it was still normally +6.25lbs climb for 100 octane on the Merlin III. The 100 octane concessions are stated separately (+12lbs max combat boost and weak mixture running rpm/boosts)
You're right here with 2600 for Merlin III, klem. I checked the manual again. I must admit I am doing 2850 in game whenever possible (don't tell my ackack :D ), especially when I get involved in a melee right after taking off. Sorry about the confusion, my memory si crap. Obviously, you've been correct in advising this new chap flying her by the book. I'd say later on when he gets used to the CEM, he can certainly squeeze more power in some situations.

I don't think it's that because Spitfire is not doing that - it seem sto be far more consistent. I'd say they really modelled the Hurri with a bit of variety, which feels great in game and I really hope they will model this in some extent for all planes.

This is what I don't get mate - never happened to me tbh. 2600 is very low. What is you red settings and what is your IAS?

Sorry about the OT guys.

i've been flying with green nose and no skins installed:confused:; there are at least 2-3 skins for 109s without the yellow noses; even without the yellow tipped wings. don't know what the fuss is about, try scrolling down the skin list when selecting the plane;

Could it be that you see it in your end because you selected it but others see the "default" default skin.

btw I was on ATAG last night and there was a Hurricane that had no markings at all. I assumed he had selected a custom skin but because I have skins turned off I got the 'bare' model. ??

You can wear any skin you like, the problem is that everyone else will only see the default skin.

well i instinctively knew it couldn't be that simple, but had to sort it out.. it is a give away no doubt
