Thanks again to the team for all the hard work on 4.15! And also to all who have helped with info and suggestions. I am now running with the DSO XP option showing EAX 4 lights!
I'm still just getting into it, but I'm loving the increased number of in-cockpit sounds from bullets and shells hitting the aircraft! I get that a lot!
I would like to report an apparent bug though.
One of the guys at M4T reported getting pink skins when trying to use custom skins on the P-38. I also had trouble getting skins to work on stationary C-47s, so I did some checks. It seems there is a bug, but it doesn't happen on all maps, or for all aircraft. It is very hit and miss, but only in 4.15.
For example, go to the Normandy1 map in 4.15 and try skinning a P-38J or C-47. It works fine. But try it on the Italy online or Kursk maps and it doesn't work. Do the same with an I-16 Type 5, F4F-4, F6F-5 and others, and they work.
I don't know how many maps or aircraft are affected by this. I stopped looking when I got to 3 maps and 2 aircraft.
It also affects
stationary aircraft, C-47s and P-38Js at least. They don't go pink, they just won't accept skins on those maps.
It seems that default skin settings for these maps may be overriding the custom skin settings somehow. I wonder if there is a simple fix for this.
For me personally this is very disappointing because it means that many missions built with fairly historically correct skins now have totally incorrect markings in 4.15, if they work at all. For example, my Fw 190 Aces mission now displays pre-war US roundels on the stationary C-47s, while all the US aircraft around them are correctly marked with 1944 US roundels, and it seems there is nothing I can do to fix this except to change them to be RAF C-47s instead of USAAF!
