Help please.

Look at this patching guide and see if you missed installing one of the patches.

Been having some issues with my I-16/29 not havi9ng any stars, I can see them in the window of FMB and in the customization section when i hit play i can see them but when it opens, no stars. Also the 2 I-16 with skis have a new default skin on winter map of dark green instead of winter white etc. anyone else having these or similar issues?

when selecting 3x sc 500 bombs as a load you actually get 2x sc 250 and 1x sc 500.

3.14.4, maybe longer

I noticed that if you switch teams online, you can not external the players from team you left.

Also the Ki-27 series of fighters only displays markings in default skin, none of the camo or solid color skins will show the markings, red sun balls etc

Presently on all of the I-15/I-16 series these planes will not start on the ground unless you are on a coded in airfield. If a fmb home made airfield or grass patch is used the planes will not start, but you get engine idle noise. This is an old bug and needs to be addressed. Example, you want to have i15 bis ski plane take off from alongside a frozen creek, even if you put down runway plates as objects linked together you will simply spawn where you wanted but cant start your engine. Only current solution is to use stationary runway 4 for ski planes or reg planes. Fortunately the U2 and SSS series dont have this issue. can you guys address this as well as the green default skins on winter maps for I16 type 5 and 6 ski planes??

Was just building a mission on the Crimea map and when i first started the mission i had a july 1941 date, many of the Russian plane had colored cowlings etc. Changed date to oct 41 and now i get all green fighters no more green and black etc. Is there a chart existing that has the colors schemes change dates?

This is an old feature, introduced in early release of FB. I-15 and I-16 engines IRL had electric and hand crank starter. Many VVS units would, however, remove accumulators from the plane to save weight, so the only way to start the engine was either truck starter, or manual cranking the inertial starter. Both ways would require additional hands, so the I-15 and I-16 in game can not be started outside of an airfield.

PS There is an anecdotal reference, that a skilled, strong and nimble pilot could start the M-25 family engine without someone elses's help, but since this couldn't be done by everyone, things were done the way, it is now.

Then is it possible to allow a fmb user to install the airfield spawn spot icon? I believe its hard coded into the map already?

The stationary aircraft > Generic Spawn Point can be used inside a HomeBase circle and the Player will spawn in that location when "Use Stationary planes as spawn points" is utilized.
