Skin ability for Paratroopers, Chutes and Pilots

[Chilli]

I have noticed that some of the pilots in updated models have changed    What I wish, plane skinners, could also skin their paratroopers (for troop carriers), skin the pilots (uniform adjustments, and race models might be interesting for film making) and skin the ejected pilot with possible gear / insignia changes.

The above I would mostly hope to be dependent on voluntary updates by the skinners, and not involve too much coad manipulation.  Although a Grease Gun or MP40 would be SWEET for animated troopers and paratroopers (I realize much more coad intensive  ).

But back to the original wish, it would be nice to see Black Tuskeegee Airmen in the Red Tail ponies, Asian Zero pilots. Put Raya in her very own Russian plane along with her comrades in others.

Now, before I get accused of trying to be PC, I would just like to commend HTC for their commitment to providing historical content to a mostly entertainment product.  There are many new young men (maybe women) that are joining us in the ranks as Aces High enthusiasts.  It is always a good thing to be on the accurate side, even when depiction is only cartoon.

when do you ever get to see your pilot?
In the plane he is invisible and when bailing out... well I never bail out.

skinning pilots was against the Geneva convention.

You can re-skin the paratroopers but the new skin has to be built into a terrain.

In the filmviewer sometimes the pilot is visible.  I have noted in some of my films and also others' films the pony pilot is not visible even in external view.  I haven't (wasn't able) to verify the range of detail though.

Exactly USRanger!  I am downloading your new Winter terrain today.  When a terrain has a specific use, like Special Events where plane choice will coincide with country, that would be a nice addition, and more of a reason there should be more stock models to choose from.  I noticed after my post the new Me410 pilot is the newer WW1 type model and also different look. 

This is mostly something that those that submit skins for approval by  HTC would have to include.  I would love to do some voluntary character skin work for any of those who would like to give it a try.  The skinners already do a wonderful job, that most everyone appreciates, I am suggesting that we possibly have a few more "stock" character skins to choose from to add to those that are already available to the skinners

The Ki-84 pilot is Asian. I never checked the Zekes after they were redone. Neat idea Chili.
