I am creating a mission for the Marcus Island Raid of 4Mrch,1942. I decided to select the new slot aircraft SBD-3 Scout for VS-6 USS Enterprise, but see their is only the default skin for this plane. There is no folder in the skins folder for this plane and when you create one you still can only choose the default skin and nothing else.

Can we choose a different skin for the SBD-3 Scout and if so how is it done?

What is the difference between the SBD-3 already in the game and the SBD-3 Scout that was added? The typical ordinance load out of the SBD-3 assigned to scouting squadrons in the USN was a 500# bomb to increase the patrol range while the typical ordinance load out of the SBD-3 assigned to bombing squadrons was a 1000# bomb. Both of these configurations were available to the stock SBD-3.

Okay did a search and found Thrud's list of aircraft and saw the entry SBD-3s SBD-3 Scout 1942.

Went into paint the schemes folder and created a folder SBD-3s. Now I can change skins for the SBD-3 Scout 1942. Now I have to do the same thing in the skin mods folder to change the default.


Maybe this issue needs to be addressed in future mod releases where the correct paint scheme folders are added automatically or at least a read me file to tells us what folders we will need to create.
