Where else can you bag 4 Lils and land with the same swagger as the original AVG pilots did back in day. (well almost wink)



Playing Chris Blair's White Sun Blue Sky. A must for Flying Tiger fans. yep


It's a Game. smile

Oh! Those skins! It burns! IT BURNS! dizzy

Boilerplate, I am glad you're enjoying the campaign. I feel it's dated a bit by now, but, well the sim had limitations that hadn't been lifted by modding yet when I made it- my name's really Chris Blair and White Sun Blue Sky is my work. I'm always amazed that after all these years WSBS still delivers for IL2 players

But those skins...the pain. Those are the ones that 'shipped' with WSBS. I was just learning at the time.

I made much, much better updated ones (plus some extras) that can be downloaded at M4T. I fixed some template issues too that were just plain wrong for Hawk 81s. Just download and dump into the Hawk81A-2 skins folder

Frankly those old skins embarrass me, but I can laugh at them...nowadays, lol:

3rd Squadron:

Much much improved. My personal opinion is that these are some of the best AVG skins you can get. Not perfect, but pretty darn accurate

Examples:

I got a little bit better at skinning thumbsup

Thanks 462cid. I will pick those up from M4T asap.

In any case, the campaign is quite flyable as it is without mods. I actually found nothing glaring about the shipped skins. You must be a perfectionist. smile
