Just wondering with May FSO, if we're using GVs if it would be OK to add in the two heavies (Firefly and Tiger 1). Blind people like me appreciate having zoom on our main guns.

Thank you,

P.S. April was awesome with the 1st Hour Planes and 2nd Hour GVs.

Sorry but there are no GV's this time around.

Also, I would not expect to see any Fireflies on the Eastern Front since it was never used by the Soviet Union. Also, it's not a reasonable substitute for any Soviet used equipment.

I did use a Jagdpanzer IV as a substitute for the Su-85/Su-100 in my Budapest FSO and If my design for December will have a GV aspect, it will be used in that one too.

Ahh well we aren't using tanks so no matter. I just figured the specs of a Firely were close enough to the Soviet KV/IS heavy tanks to make it a decent substitute.

There are some skin related bugs tonight.

The Soviet IL-4 skin for the Betty does not work, sadly. It could not be baked in as the default without causing a game crash.


Also, it seems that something in the SEA1 arena isn't liking today's skin update.

Problem 1: You may not see any skins at all on the list. In this case, exit the game completely and relaunch it. Go to the MA first and wait a few minutes for the skin roster to populate. If that does not work, you'll need to delete the "skins.res" file from the skins folder in your AH directory. Then relaunch and go to the MA. Only after getting the skins to show in the MA will they work in SEA1.

Problem 2: None of the new skins will work in that arena even if you can see them in the MA. You will get an "Invalid skin number" error message. Or you will not see the new skins at all in the list. There is no fix for this without HiTech making some repairs.
