Some recent online activity.
Funny glitch with the Axis and Allied AI pilots parachute sequence. Showed up a few patches back.
Took some flak in the wing and that is fuel leaking from it.
Lucky for me that the flak hit was in the starboard wing or the Honey Bunny noseart on the port side of the plane would have made the screenshot NSFW.

Been meaning myself to start a career in that particular plane.
Track anomaly or possibly a lag error from our group dogfight session online last night. We collided over the runway but in the track we never merged but the damage was still spectacular!

For a split second I thought it was DCS…

I am unable to make a video to share the experience but those of you that have Great Battles should be able to watch the track of the flight. You will likely start in outside view, no clue why though, but just switch to cockpit view if you own the P-51D, it came with the Battle of Bodenplatte expansion, and you should be good to go. Any version after 4.602b and this track will likely not work.

I would not be upset if someone made a split screen video, like what I did with the screenshots below, from the 1 minute to 4:15 minute mark of the track though. 
One of the shortcomings of the game, in my opinion, versus IL-2 1946 is the track recording feature when it comes to previous updates. Sadly, once again in my opinion, you lose the ability to replay tracks recorded using prior updates which means you lose those tracks that have, for you the person recording them, special incidents. One of those incidents I am going to hate to lose with the next update is this inverted flat spin recovery track. It was from a simple QMB mission but that does not make it less unique for me.
It took a full 45 seconds from the moment the plane went out of control until I had full control of it again. All the while thinking about the Me-109 that was still stalking me as I tried to wrestle the bird back into some semblance of control.

Posted here to keep from cluttering the DCS thread where I found this post.
My main problem/dislike with/of the BoX track replay system is that every patch update breaks the old tracks making them unwatchable. I can not remember how often I have watched an old 1946 track and been transported back to that very moment when the mission was flown. Something not possible with the track system of BoX.
My last post is a perfect example of something I did not want to lose but was unable to save before the system updated and broke the track. (Missed that there was an update and as soon as I clicked the launcher to start the game poof the track is borked…)

Concentrate and ask again
The new clouds in the update today really do look fantastic. Took a flight up tonight to check them out.

Anyone knows whether the AI can see through them?
And since I am asking already: is the enemy AI still following the player back to the base? This long-term unaddressed bug actually drove me out of the sim twice…
Thanks!

Don’t worry it will buff out. 
Suckers a blast to drive but the steering is twitchy as all get out…

This one is not going to end well for him…
One of the rare times I shot down an aircraft with Rockets.
Here is the track of the kill. You need to have updated to Great Battles v4.704.
