Well you didnt think I would leave out our Australian boys did ya? This is the Mosquito FB.VI with Pachy's RAAF 1st squadron skin. It also has a torpedo added to the loadout for anti-shipping strikes. You must have the beta torpedoes and the Scharnhorst to fly the Torpedoing mission. Get it at http://www.simfiles.com You MUST have Nations 2
Enjoy! ------------------

ROFLMAO!!!! Werner that was good!  I love expanding the horizons of SDOE dont you? (Imagine me asking that to a Nations coordinator?  ) Im putting these new Nations to work pretty fast eh? Hehehe All these planes should tie us over till real Australian and French built planes are made. But they did fly British and American built ones (From what Ive read in your Squadron histories) so enjoy! Cheers Werner! and thanks for Nations 2! P.S. More planes are comming! I saw an Australian Spitfire pic at FSHangar that someone is doing and I know Jedi and Pachy have a few planes up their sleves as do I.

Mk FB.VI - Well technically correct .... as we did use them flying for the poms in Europe(I think)The one we built was the Mk 21 though, which we flew in the Pacific a lot. I believe it was included in the Mosq pack in anticipation for Nations - Australia .... I don't suppose ya want to change it too ???  Ya doing a top job Argon, keep it up Cheers, ------------------

My friend, I believe the plane you are referring to is the Beaufighter Mk.21 (which came in the Beaufighter pack)
That can be made to be under the Australian nation by changing the loadout to read 'strAustralia P.S. Thanks for the moral booster guys! I was somewhat begining to think no one wants the stuff Im doing. [This message has been edited by ArgonV (edited 10-01-2000).] IP: Logged |

Argon, I was flying your Air to Air training mission, and I was trying to get the lanc over the coast so I could take 3views for my comparison tables, and then just as I was about to take the top view a stream of tracers flew by (wrecking the picture). Now before I could find which turret was pointing in the right direction, the view jolts, a loud explosion, and the shouts of a pilot bailing out...I figured it was worth taking a few pics of the wrecked crate on the way down. I have some old ones somewhere of a lanc with a bent wing after colliding with another lanc on one of my old Dam Busters missions. For the record, this was caused by one 109e that hit the Lanc and immediately blew up, and another 109 was either too close, caught part of the shock wave or also clipped the plane, because it was wanting to climb very badly (had to put it on its side to lose alt). The engine was fine, a but underpowered but not sputtering, and there was a barely perceptible white stream, even lighter than when you wreck your prop, which was coming out of the engine block. This was one of the best examples of interesting DM characteristics I'd seen in a long time. Werner ------------------

For you hard core Australians out there If you wanted, you can rename the plane in the loadout.ppf file to Mosquito FB.40The Mosquito FB.40 was only diffrent from the FB.VI in that it used a diffrent type of glue to hold it together due to the extreme conditions in the tropics. (No Joke!) The current name (RAAF Mosquito FB.VI) is correct as they were exported to Australia, but the FB.40's were homebuilt. Werner, good account!

Yeah Argon. The glue used here in Europe (a bakelite thing) just dissolved in the humidity down there. The Germans used some strange goo when they cemented their FW Ta-154 together (kinda like some giant model building, eh? ), and that dissolved, too.IP: Logged |

The French had to stop using Mossies in Indochina because of this climate problem, although they loved the plane and it was very well suited to the task.IP: Logged |
