Hey, HunInTheSun. First off, great work! I have *all* your updates.
In applying your mods, I came up with a few ideas, not sure if they've been mentioned before...
I love the different variants/options for the G6s/G10s/G14s, so I set up a mod folder so I could enable and disable them at will. Then, I came up with my first idea. I labelled the folder containing the G6 Erla canopy mod:
\MODS\Bf-109G-6 (Erla) - Erla canopy with classic tail\3DO\plane\Bf-109G-6Early(fi)
....and the folder for the tall tail G6 mod:
\MODS\Bf-109G-6 Mid - Classic canopy with Tall tail\3DO\plane\Bf-109G-6Early(sk)
As you may know, there are seperate files for these planes and they may have different skins for these nations (fi) = Finland, (sk) Slovakia.
However, by renaming the mod folders, it applies the mods only to the aircraft when you select them in the arming screen! So I can have a 'normal' German G6Early, then when I click on the Finnish AF, it has an Erla canopy. When I click on the Slovakian AF, it has a tall tail. The only problem is getting the cockpit to show the erla hood for the Finnish G6 Early. Any ideas?
My second method as to take the 'Aces' planes, and use them. There are 5 G6s (Hartmann, Graf, Molnar, Kovacs, Heppes), and one G10 (Fabian). So I applied the mods to their aircraft, and it works! Therefore I have the normal 'G10', and the G10 'ofFabian' for your late G10 mod.
Again though, the cockpits don't show up nicely - there are visual errors. Also, the markings don't show up properly for a few of them. The national marking show up, but not numbers. Do you know where the files are that apply markings for aircraft?
Obviously, for the aces, I change the names in plane.ru i.e from 'Fabian', to 'G10 Late' etc. It would be great if their cockpits worked properly!
Anyway, nice work!
