Static Aircraft Skins.....A Question to the Mod Makers.... - Billfish - 20.07.2009

Though working with the programming is way beyond me, the thought of having different aircraft skins on parked static aircraft has been one discussed a few times with no resolution I know of.....So to get the discussion rolling again I wonder if this might work.

Ideal Condition, so far not happened:
That in the FMB when selecting a static aircraft instead of the program looking for the "default skin" it has an option to choose a skin just like for AI aircraft.

Less Ideal yet maybe workable?
That each seperate skinned static aircraft is considered a different object. IOW, Ki-61-Ia-1, Ki-61-Ia-2, Ki-61-Ia-3, Ki-61-Ia-4, etc.......IOW, that object though the same Ki-61 model has a different "default skin" added to it.....Naturally that would boost the number of files/HDD space considerably, and make the pull down list in FMB grow, yet would accomplish the goal?

Thoughts?

Hey Billfish,
There's a mod out there called the skin mod and you can use that to change skins to be used as static aircraft. If you need a link let me know..

Here's a couple of pics from my Eagles of the Desert Campaign that I'm finishing up....

Yes well it is not exactly what I mean I don't believe.....

As it stands now whether using the sim as it stands or with this mod, all static aircraft of the same type will get the exact same skin. Now that is good and fine for most countries, however when it comes to the Japanese and even U.S. Army in the Pacific, every aircraft was different sometimes significantly so....More so, markings on Japanese aircraft are very visible often taking up the entire tail section. Lastly, that mod I'd assume JUST works for the user/host not the other players.

It would be great to assign a seperate skin to each static aircraft via either method and all who fly a coop say see them IF they have them loaded.
