Skins, Stationary aircraft, and more....
#1

Is there any way to have different skins for stationary aircraft...and I don't mean messing with the .tga, I mean to have personal skins unique to each plane, just like you can do with the aircraft we fly?

If not, then is there any way to be able to place the actual aircraft flyable onto airfelids, on the ground, into hangars, WITHOUT having them spawn onto the runway?

What i mean by this is that if you place a takeoff waypoint near an airfeild...even though you don't want the aircraft on that airfield..it will still spawn on the runway....And that gets kind of irritating. And also holds back from putting aircraft on the ground as simulated stationary targets (which are much better to inflict damage on; better simulated.) The same problem goes if you want to have a seaplane take off from the coast of an airfield..it still spawns on the runway. :x

Anyway to do either of this?

have you downloaded the skinmod? Or are you talking about having a unique skin for flying planes and a different unique skin for static planes? I am not quite sure which you want. If you change the default skin the static planes skin changes to that ... if that is what you were looking for :?:

I said that i want to be able to make CUSTOM skins, not change defaults. Just like the flyabel aircraft we have.

That would be nice.. but I imagine the load times would increase considerably.. even if you could break the defaults up into more than one category say for example.. 4 different skins for a plane set.. so that if say you wanted to recreate an airbase with all the skins of the sqwuadron that flew there you could..

As for placing the flyables in hangars etc.. that is already doable... I am not sure exactly how.. but that is doable without mods. 99th_Papy has made several missions for us where we start in hangars.

I think you have to kind of create the airfield from scratch using objects in the FMB and go from there.

It would be good to see, I would love the stationary aircraft to have a damage model similar but maybe not as complex as flying aircraft, as well as a multi skin type setup for them.

Ah thanks for simplifying my words. Smile thats eactly what I meant. And if not. Then placing aircraft on the ground with no fuel so they can't move, works also. I just have the problem of having them always spawn on the runway when close to a base. Sad
