Topic says it all.

Player selected skins dont show in film. Except your own skin...

Most definately would be nice to see other skins.  In particular now that there are different variants of planes with skins from the same squadrons.  A 51B and D in 4th Markings, or a bunch of Jugs in 56th Markings etc.

It would be fun to see, instead of only the defaults beside your own planes skin

Yes, I have such great films of the the Group and it stinks that the default skins show up.

I don't understand that the squadron markings symbols show up but the film does not record the plane skins.

Is there anyway to set the default skin as a different skin?  This would save me time when switching to and fro on planes.

Can you imagine how much info would have to be tracked? There are 70+ planes and most have at least half a dozen (many have 15) extra skins. You'd need to track the skin for every distant 10k dot in the film file! I think it would bog down the film viewer rather badly.

*If* there were a way to easily do it I'd love to see what skin my foe was flying. I think it would not be an easy fix, however.

OK so what about being able to see the skins on the planes being flown by Squaddies?
