    Another good one John!

    A little more about this one that I found while researching skins for this project. The service history for the aircraft simply reads:

    FF 29-3-41 38MU 30-3-41 54S 26-5-41 FAAC 26-5-41 403S 'KH-J' 4-8-41 Missing on sweep over Pas de Calais 9-8-41 FH63.25 P/O Waldon killed

    But then I stumbled upon the No. 403 Squadron Operations Record Book - you don't always get to hear the personal details of the pilots who flew these aircraft unless they eventually achieved some degree of fame. Here is the portion of the entry from August 9th, 1941 relevant to the aircraft:

    Offensive Sweep 11 Spitfires and W/C Stapleton, Low Squadron, Leading Wing 1710 to 1840 hours, via Hardilot, Poret Dieppe out by Gravelines. P/O Waldon missing believed to be killed. P/O Anthony, tail plane shot off. Doug Waldon, huge feet and slim face that broke out into a slow grin when he kidded you enough. There may be kinder and more sincere types in the world but we haven’t met them. He was a schoolteacher in Canada in civil life, and during an unguarded moment admitted that he was a scoutmaster. One thing is certain, to the community in Canada that he belonged to; he will be as great a loss as he is to us. It would be impossible to say more.

    P/O Anthony, apparently also shot down in this action, but surviving, would fail to return from a Circus operation only 10 days later.

    Those circuses were pretty deadly with casualties from flak but IIRC, the newly arrived Fw 190's

    There are five standalone schemes for the He 115 in the German skin section, go and sink some shipping!

    Neat! Now we need to use Daiwilletti's shipping spawns!

    Oh

    we have Ar 84, He111 and Ju88 with torpedoes, long range condors, and Do 217's with HS 284 guided bombs oh what fun this could be with a little imagination and literary license. Yes we could duplicate to some degree attacks on the convoys going to Russia

    Like this one

    Allied convoy PQ-17 was attacked by 24 He 111 aircraft of German Luftwaffe unit I./KG 26 about 60 miles north of Bear Island (Bjørnøya), Norway, fatally damaging US freighter Christopher Newport which would later be scuttled by a British submarine (3 were killed, 47 survived); at 1930 hours, another attack wave came upon the convoy, causing no damage; at 2020 hours, the convoy was attacked by 25 aircraft, sinking British freighter Navarino, sinking US freighter William Hooper (3 were killed, 55 survived), and damaging Soviet tanker Azerbaijan; at 2100 hours, believing that German battleships might be in the area, PQ-17 was ordered to scatter and the convoy escorts were withdrawn. Sailing in the opposite direction, QP-13 broke up to two convoys, one of which ran into a minefield; several ships struck mines and sank (British minesweeper HMS Niger (149 were killed), freighter Hybert, freighter Heffron, freighter Massmar (17 were killed), and Soviet passenger ship Rodina (several family members of Soviet diplomats were killed)), and several others were damaged (civilian commodore's ship American Robin, freighter Exterminator, and freighter John Randolph); HMS Hussar was able to lead the survivors out of the minefield.

    or

    Allied convoy QP-14 departed Arkhangelsk, Russia with 15 merchant ships and two rescue ships under the civilian commodore J. C. K. Dowding; it was escorted by two anti-aircraft vessels, two destroyers, four corvettes, three minesweepers, and three trawlers under British Royal Navy Captain J. F. Crombie. Elsewhere, Allied convoy PQ-18 sailed in the opposite direction; PQ-18 would be subjected to repeated attacks all day. The first casualty occurred at 0855 hours when U-408 and U-589 sank Soviet freighter Stalingrad (hit by three torpedoes; 21 were killed) and US tanker Oliver Ellsworth 150 miles northwest of Bear Island (Bjørnøya), Norway; these two ships were on the outside starboard column of PQ-18. At 1500 hours, 6 Ju 88 aircraft attacked without success. At 1530 hours, 30 Ju 88 dive bombers of German Luftwaffe unit III./KG 26 and 55 He 111 bombers of I./KG 26 attacked, sinking the ships Wacosta (scoring a direct hit with a torpedo before the torpedo entered water), Empire Stevenson, Macbeth, Gregonian (US ship; 28 were killed, 27 survived), Sukhona (Russian ship), Afrikaner (Panamanian ship), Empire Beaumont, and John Penn at the cost of only 5 aircraft.

    G,
    Effing hell that's just beautiful...!!

    And John, I love those He115 texs and pics, just superb work.

    With Ankor's shaders, hi res ground mesh texs, the bump mapping and tex of the Spit (is that one of John's?), just stunning.


    I love coming to the screenies here, very inspiring. I keep getting amazed at the state of CFS3, most simmers just have no idea where's it's at.

    If you look back and see when John started this post in 2012, it was that flat, non-reflective CFS3 world, then you see the glimmers (ha ha!) of what was being done in 2014...and now to this.

    Thank you.

    Thanks! Yep, that's one of John's. It will be part of the upcoming Spitfire Mk.V release.

    Nice shot Dan, here's a trio that might interest you, especially the last one.

    Beauties all. I heard someone (maybe from here?) say the American Spitfires were a missed opportunity to call them Starfires.

    Love the 335th one, can't wait to get my grubby little hands on them. I'm sure my dad will get a kick out of it when he sees it too.

    I didn't do anything with the pit Ted, it looked pretty basic, but if you want to send me the mesh I can take a look at it.

    It'd be nice if someone meshed out that area

  21. #2421
    Ar-84? or did you mean 95?

    And we have an Ar-95?

    I love that you can share that with your dad

    I've always thought moving up the area a bit more North and cutting out as much of Italy, Spain, and the Balkans as possible; at least get all of Denmark!

    I've always wondered how CFS3 would handle distortion as you approach the arctic. But a more northern map would be good - at guess, if you covered all of Scotland, the map will extend just far enough south to fit in the Brest Peninsula and the full Franco-German border. You'd get all of Denmark but wouldn't get enough of Norway to even get Oslo. Norway is so long it would probably take two maps to cover the region.
