I've got to ask to retain my sanity how often you guys are experience these bonehead friendly teamwork failures. My top 3 would have to be.
1. You and your ally are in BnZ aircraft engaged with a TnB aircraft such as one of the numerous VVS aircraft,and right when your about to line up that perfect shot and clear your friendly the bonehead whips his aircraft into the hardest turn he can manage opening himself up to a the perfect deflectoin shot to the TnB aircraft, and negating any chance of your lining up a shot as you can't pull into him resulting in both of you getting killed.
2. Your trailing a bad guy and are in need of help and go out of your way to get the attention of passing friendlies, such as wing smoke, landing light, and even resulting to mock head to head passes to no avail and they keep on flying straight into oblivion.
3. One bandit has your entire freakin team on it resulting in multiple friendly to friendly collisions and them getting picked apart by the other enemy aircraft. Seems like a smoke trail is like moths to a flame around this game.

There actually still there along with a woodgrain texture for the wings and fabric for the control surfaces  Just hard as heck to see with that reduced image. Here's a close up picture of the wings.

BTW I did notice and correct the upside down labels. Unforutnately I have to weigh that the realization that 1MB skins are causing lag issues I may never get to show this off in person. It looks bad shrunk down to 512X512.

Some say vulch others say do not...I have to apologize for the inconsistency there. The TX policy is definately no holds barred and remains so. If you had any admonishments from the squad, please understand that we are aware of the miscommunication and will be correcting the map briefings among other things to ensure that we are up front and to the point. Eco mentioned to me tonight that another screw up might have occured on the OC3 where you got banned or kicked by the script. Egad I'm pretty embarrased to bring it up, but let me quickly say that it was unintentional and we'll make sure that there is nothing in the script that might ban you from the server. Shoot me on PM here on the site if you like and we can discuss in further detail. For now, let me try and make amends and say that I take the hit for any miscommunication that might have occured. We'll have it fixed up pretty soon. Meanwhile I hope to see you out on the OC3.Salute!TX-ZenBlack 6
More my fault than the servers, it occured when I went on a laglight killing campaign. No laglight was spared and the friendly ones give you -100 though it turns out. Guess I built up enough negative for Deamon to put me on ban list  ... whoops

I've had more than my share of days like that when it seems all Dora wants to do is sit on me :(Thanks for flying the OC3 of late. I've taken the liberty of observing you from externals and I'm pretty impressed. You seem to know your business around a stick. See you on the server S~~~TX-ZenBlack 6
Thanks, I'm probably a decent pilot. Tend to fly things that are a challenge rather than the fastest thunderbird available. I'm a stickler for rules and brief conditions thou. Didn't know until recently that vulching was allowed on all maps regardless of brief. Could have sworn Rahman got onto me for it one day too, but its been a while and there are alot of RXXXXXXXXX names.

I did the same today and got kicked/banned by FBDeamon for it. Stupid thing can kick for high negative score but not high pings apparently. Oh well I hope everyone else enjoyed a reduced lag game afterwards.Honestly though the searchlights and to a lesser degree the night missions is a waste of time with icons on. The lights are just a nussaince cause all you have to do is follow the glowing icons.
