I made a mistake on one of the emblems which should have had a white background. So here are some updated screenshots:

Hi Pattle, MS.
Regarding the skins, will v5.00 support 4K skins? Second question has it been possible to fix the noseart code so the noseart option now works? Cheers, MP

Nice work, however there is one other mistake that you've made. You're not the only one that has made this mistake, I've seen it made by others. The registration markings on the starboard fuselage is not the same marking on the port fuselage. For example (I'll be using the "O" to represent the roundel): if my planes registration is VKOP then it must be the same on both sides of the fuselage. In the screenshots of your skins, your port registration reads DBOD but your starboard registration reads DODB. I get that it makes things easier for symmetry sake, but one does not equal the other, and in real life would have everyone thinking that they are communicating about 2 different aircraft.

It's not quite that simple. First of all, we have to state here whether we are aiming at a simplification of the squadron codes for the flight simulation or whether we are talking about historical accuracy. The placement of the two-digit squadron codes from a historical perspective could fill a book. Simply put: It depends on the respective squadron, at which time, at which theatre of war. It is impossible to establish a standard. And that's not enough, you see several variants during the same flight on planes of the same squadron

Please send examples of this on the Tomahawk. All examples I've seen are the opposite of what you describe.

I stand corrected. I could not find any examples of Tomahawks with registration markings as I had described. :faceslap:

Wow! That's impressive to hear and much appreciated. I look forward to having a play with it :thumbsup:
