Skins show up in film viewer

[USRanger]

Been wished for since at least '04 when I started playing.  Why o why do only default skins have to show up in the film viewer?  Looks really hokie when you want to make a film or screenshot and your plane is the only one in the formation in a certain skin.  Impossible to make historic films when there is only the default skin available in the F.V.

Please let us be able to see skins in the F.V.!!

That would be nice. Maybe an update could also include moving control surfaces and head movement for the WW1 A/C.

Unless there's a problem and it was removed this feature was added in version 2.11.

[USRanger]

Really?  Still doesn't work for me today as I was trying to do a group takeoff shot.  Only mine showed the selected skin.  Everyone else was still in default skin in the F.V.

[Soulyss]

Not sure what's going on then.  I can't even check it myself since I'm such a bonehead I accidentally uninstalled AH last week and it took all my films with it.  

*edit*
Yeah that's strange.. I just checked a screenshot that was posted the other day on the 80th FS forums, external view of two 38's wearing different skins.

Do you have all the skins downloaded?  If you only have a few select skins downloaded to your machine that could cause what you're describing I suppose.

[USRanger]

Yep, all skins downloaded.  I'll go back & check again.  I don't ever remember non-default skins showing up on the other planes though.

It's shown the custom skins for all the planes in films for as long as I can remember, except for right now. Ever since the recent film viewer fix all I'm seeing is the default skins on everyone other than myself. I'm hoping they'll have it fixed next update, which will supposedly be soon.

Took this one from the film viewer a while back. Everyone's showing up in the 475th FG skins that they had selected(other than the two slackers who forgot to get out of their 80th colors ).

I can see other skins as well, except my bomber drones.  I would like that included in FV.

[Spikes]

Yeah. The only thing screwed up is bomber drones with it.

It also shows the gunsights I use, instead of what the guy recording is using

[Krusty]

It shows whatever your local settings are.

The film viewer had skins disabled a few versions back for some reason. Don't recall which version, but it was before the WW1. I figured it was temporary until they do something on their end (maybe they want to re-write it to prevent some common bug or something? Not sure)
