Ability to set the default skin in game

[Guppy35]

It would be nice for those in historically based squads, like my 80th that has skins for the different aircraft they fly.

Always a disappointment to take off with the guys all in correct colors and then watch the film and see everyone but yourself in the current default.

In the case of the 38s for example, if I'm in my 80th P38G skin and a couple guys are flying the two 38J 80th skins and another is in the 80th L skin, it would look great,  Instead it's me in my 80th G with the Js in 20th FG markings and the L in 475th markings.  Kinda ruins the screenshots.

I know the 475th guys, 56th, 4th and others would appreciate the same ability as they have different versions of the Jug, 38 or 51 with skins appropriate for their historical counterparts.

I wonder how hard it would be to just set the default in game to the skins you want to see and the viewer would see the same?

IIRC, there is a convoluted way of doing this involving swapping files from one cache file to another... I'll try to find the thread; gotta go back a year or two.

Agree, though... would make a sweet Film Viewer feature.

Excellent suggestion.
