The first pic of the Spitfire serie is really amazing.
Referring also to you small effects thread. I had a look at the BC bomber scarecrows and came up with this for the B17. No doubt you could improve it. I can PM or email the xdp effects or whole aircraft. BTW how do I get an ai type aircraft into the QC list? I made a mission for these as didn't see my B17 sc one in the QC list?
Anyway the 8 B17s were repeatedly attacked by Fw190's and Bf110's!

Those shots of mine are just from my all in one install with Diawilletti's "New Package for Stock CFS3" ( http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforum...For-Stock-CFS3 ) over the top and the planes are just some of the originals from the JF Bob CD's from way back.

Love Just Flight's BoB addon. Some good missions came with it also.
Sonderkommando Elbe just making his first debut, first he shot down 1 B-17 to my 11 o'clock after that he climbs up and dive fast heading towards my marauder then just slammed his plane right hitting my right wing and the guy to my right side also got his left wing torn off while he's trying to keep his plane stable !
thought my top turret would kill him before he's too close but i guess i was wrong! :banghead:

Well I thought I would tart up the scarecrow effects further to fit the above!:wiggle: I sort of think the last one may have effected the lead aircraft!:jump:

@mongoose
WOW james !!
You might want to use jaycee ammo store explosion effect to compare with scarecrow effect or if jaycee still around you might want to talk to him ..i think that would fit your scarcrow with a bit rework, that explosion is so huge like a neutron blast ! those B-17 should disappeared from the explosion and nothing left, just might be only small fireball pieces! but how to do that?
i want to see that explosion from different angle like in pilot or gunner view in my mission but from hundred planes we just don't know which become the first victim, it will look more scary if we can saw the effect in the right moment and view james !
you might want to re-adjust that fireball alpha to look more solid! try to set alpha=30 in your effect line which needed in causing that huge fireball effect and see how's the explosion look.
Wait a sec, did a second aircraft blow up from the explosion of the first?!
1. The better effects come from using the grand slam bomb effects. I sent you this xml. I assume a full load of bombs plus all the fuel might have such an effect.
2. Hard to tell as the B17s were being attacked by a swarm of Fw190's ans Me110's from multiple spawns I'd added for this test. perhaps I should do a video next time.
Thanks BAS12 for your 2009 blue skybox still looking good even in 2018!! hope you made the new 2018 version!

See how much fun it can be fighting against or with Russian aircraft can be ! Enough said...
Recently moved on to skinning the upcoming new MK I Spitfire, some of you might remember the 1.24th Airfix kit with this scheme, I do. July 1940, 54 Sqd, P/O Alan Deere.:biggrin-new:

stunning!
I would decrease the the normal map bump level (wing surface), however its a matter of personal feeling ;)
@Mixxer
Great shots ! it's rare view here seeing finland air war! keep posting mate ! :encouragement:
@Bravo/4
Beautiful skin john ! love every skins that you made! :encouragement:
Great texture there John. Just one thing; a point which I have made also on other occaisons and re WOTR; I always think the aircraft should be more scuffed up. By chance I was watching 'Reach for the Sky' on BBC iPlayer yesterday. I have several criticisms of the type of aircraft used there (inc. for BoB Spits); Hurris seemed better, but what I did notice was how scuffed up they were. For instance the undercarriage 'spats' or whatever, were pretty dirty; I assume from the grass fields or general dust/ mud from taxing or to/landing. Also quite marked where pilots climbed up or panels opened by maintenance. Also gun port and exhaust dirt. Now I know this is a LOT of extra work.:wiggle: So not a criticism but perhaps an extra bonus look?
