Hi Cascadia!
Very nice thread, this one... a little too much of everything from a realism viewpoint, but fantastic drawings nevertheless!
As a little tribute - request permission to land?!?

Another six liveries have been added to my airlines sheet: American Airlines, Balkan Bulgarian Airways (as an artistic licence my version shows the name Balkan in kyrillic letters on the starboard side instead of latin letters as in real world), Emirates, Linea Aeropstal Nacional Chile, Trans World Airlines and US Airways. 73 done, 20 to go. |

Hi GD, That livery is really good looking in this scale. Unfortunately I don't know how to fit Thiaria into my AU, so sadly you can't land  Btw, what exactly do you mean by saying "a little too much of everything"? |

Yesterday I was looking at military aircraft of this AU and noticed that for transport aircraft and helicopters the designation "Tp" and "Hkp" is used. As far as I know, Swedish Air Force use this designation system. There are some similarities among German and Nordic languages (except Finnish, which belongs to different language family), seem a bit weird for a German AU to use Swedish designation system. |

@odysseus1980 You got me. My designation system is in fact inspired by the swedisch one, but it's not the same. J=Jäger (fighter) Jb=Jagdbomber (fighter-bomber) B=Bomber Ak=Aufklärer (reconnaissance incl. AWACS) Tp=Transportflieger (cargoplane) Hkp=Helikopter (helicopter) Sa=Seeaufklärer (maritime patrol) Sf=Schulflugzeug (trainer) L=Liaison Ek=Elektronische Kriegsführung (electronic warfare incl. SEAD Sr=Seenotrettung (search and rescue) G=Gefechtsstand (command and control) S=Spezialeinsatz (special operations) Dr=Drone (UAV/drone) I compared the designation systems of the US, the UK, and Sweden and thought the Swedish one suited me most. |

Νow it is clear. Τhanks! Ρ.S Υou can use also the letter "Z", from "Zestorer" (Inteceptor)-if you have dedicated interceptors. Ι think that German word for "Destroyer (ship)" is the same (with 2 dots on "o"). Αlthough not speak german myshelf, understand several words into a text. |

Nice Idea, but an interceptor is just a special type of fighter so they got the "J" designation. Btw, Zerstörer (destroyer) is not a designation for an interceptor (Abfangjäger) but for a heavy fighter ment to be used in offensive mission, although it is correct that Zerstörer like the Bf 110 were primarly used as interceptors when they became outperformed by the Spitfire. But as you mention the letter "Z", my Imperial German Navy possibly used a very small number of K-class and N-class blimps for patrol duties in its early years (1951-1962, although this idea is still open to fail or pass). So I might use it for Zeppelin, but I still have to rethink this part. |
