    "Player Skins "

    hi

    Having downloaded several Hurricane skins ,should I then be able to choose that skin
    and fly that aircraft in mission .

    As of now I seem to be only able to fly aircraft with this nose art
    although fuselage lettering etc. does change to the chosen aircraft.

    Hey Shepherd,
    So long as you have your skin image file in the correct aircraft folder (some aircraft you may have to create manually with the correct wording to send the images to)
    You should be right.
    Bear in mind that certain aircraft ingame come with their own selection of skins put together by the team, so they may or may not be the skins you downloaded.

    As for the nose art, there is no nose art system currently functioning in game. As such, the noseart on your plane is the nose art from the skin you currently have loaded on your aircraft. To change the nose art you would need a different skin with your desired nose art on it.
    You can modify your lettering (squadron and aircraft number) along with tail numbers, but this will not change the skin, you must change that manually from the "skin" drop down box in the aircraft details page after loading up a mission.

    Hopefully will help a bit!
    Good luck

    Re: "Player Skins "

    hi
    having solved the problem of the "nose art"

    I now have this .

    I have new mission with only three aircraft in it.
    i have all three aircraft with same markings etc.
    one of which i set as player.

    shot_20200111_174528.gif

    no matter which aircraft i choose as player ie. 1/2/ or 3
    the default aircraft fuselage lettering always corrupts the players

    shot_20200111_174838.gif

    this is a long standing issue with me does anyone know work around for this.
    Possible remove default aircraft file in some way.

    thanks

    When you choose your custom skin in mission builder, do you also untick the "markings on" check box?
    Secondly when you go to "Fly" you should see an option for Player Plane. Make sure you choose your custom skin in there too and untick "markings on"

    Cheers, Mysticpuma

    Re: "Player Skins "

    Hi

    thanks for reply M

    yep I untick box just as in top pic above.

    However when i click "Player Plane " although I am taken to the correct screen (which shows the Default Hurricane )
    the screen crashes after 4/5 seconds . I am unable to interact with this screen in anyway and have to restart game from scratch.

    This is why i have always just clicked on "Fly" bypassing "Player Plane " as it does at least get me into the mission albeit with wrong plane / markings etc.

    I believe there was a fix for this some time ago but tried it and didn't work.

    cheers

    Re: "Player Skins "

    Against my better judgement i decided (having already thrown in the towel )
    to have another go at putting this problem right.

    Over the last couple of days i have re-downloaded three times both CLOD and Blitz
    using the guidelines here and on steam. Starting the game from scratch every time.

    But alas the problem is still with me.

    I am now able to access the "player Plane " screen (Hurri Mk 1 ) but over half the aircraft in the drop down box have corrupt fuselage lettering.
    The default one can be seen showing through.
    The various camo default ones are perfect.

    I even removed all but one skin from the Blitz Hurri Mk1 folder leaving only the "Joker" behind .
    this then was my only choice from the drop down box when creating mission.

    But i still ended up with this

    20200117020215_1.gif



    if anyone has new ideas on this i would like to get it right if poss.
    cheers

    Nb i did not use any modded skins whilst trying to right this problem

    Hi Madshepherd,

    I just want to make sure you've properly executed Mysticpuma's orders. Just before you start your mission, there is a page. What do you see when you hit "player plane"?

    Hello madsheperd,

    I know you have very likely carried out Mystic's instructions but I would just like to post a couple of screenshots of the way I've got mine working.

    Here it is in the FMB:

    FMB Plane Markings.jpg

    and in 'Plane Options':

    Thanks to everyone who has taken time to reply (and post pics etc.) much appreciated.
    This is a long standing issue with me and now appears to be solved.

    No I did not follow Mystic's instructions correctly.

    I did not think that "Markings " box was linked to fuselage lettering. BUT NOW I DO !

    It must be the only box i have not unticked and ticked in the past few days.
