One of the things that need fixing in this game.
As right in one of the first menus, you can go to aircraft, choose which
ever aircraft you want, from what ever unit, even add skins, but that was it.
That makes as much sence as the dress-up pilot in the neighboring menu,
nice play thing but of no real meaning for the game.

Danny M NL,
Thank you oh so very much, just seeing the emils complete has boosted my morale for this sim. We must have complete looking aircraft, for those of us that are allowed such.

I hope that Oleg and team will support and make easy the moves by those like Danny that are not up against silly rules taken too far, to make their sim complete visually and allow them to get at what needs getting at so as to introduce the tail markings. I am sure Oleg is for completeness.

Oleg. Please give Danny and others full access to mod this. No skin off your nose. What others do in countries where historical accuracy is allowed is ok. No harm in allowing others to do what you are not allowed to do, whilst operating within the boundaries of a country that disallows such.

Books , paintings all allow portrayal of what actually was seen on aircraft. I can understand it being forbidden to create such a marking where it never existed, a town wall etc in spraypaint, but to try and wipe out occurrences where it was seen such as an airfcraft tail is going too far, what do they do to photos in books of aircraft, fuzz out every tail unit ? Those books wouldnt sell in the UK or USA as thats vandalism of a historical pic. If we see footage of a german rally on tv, we see flags with the swastika, its not promoting it, just showing it as it was. Are these fuzzed out. In the UK we see it as it was.

Allowing simmers to have those markings will not warp their minds and turn them into nazis, far from it. In fact the more someone is denied something the more it turns from being not given a seconds thought to being focused on. Its just a marking to folk, without which aircraft are incomplete appearance wise. Just seeing it on the tails makes one realise how much it adds to the look, just as if the side intake was missing.

Stick at it guys, we need the tail markings for the correct look, nothing more, barren tails though are not acceptable. The 110 swastika by the way needs to be higher.

Danny,
you have PM, hope its of use.

The skins need to be in the STEAM skins folder

Great Danny!!!


Its now getting better and better.

Cheers LC

I know, I already stated it in the readme ;)

The reason I won't change it yet is I'd rather mod the marking files themselves rather than the skins since the marking files are universal and thus are compatible with any skins available, not just the ones I or someone else decides to edit.

And I'm not too happy about the fact that as it is now the swastika's still show even when markings off has been selected from the aircraft menu, since they're part of the camouflage layer instead of the markings layer...


And I saw your PM, really helpful, thanks!

Likewise, thanks you.

A temporary solution might be HERE

Already knew that one, but that only works for the Full Mission builder, not for quick mission. As it is now I have overwritten the standard skins in the steam folder, and sometimes the game selects a skin for me that actually has the swastika's on them.

Danny,

are your skins supposed to be for the Bf-109E-3B too? Are they the same ones?

Thanx
