Title: Ability to set default skin on your system.
Post by: Treize69 on January 28, 2007, 10:18:46 AM: So those of us in historical squads can fly in the "proper" markings for missions and in film viewer. Would sort of help with the mission planner being unable to set a skin, and would also be a good stop-gap for film viewer instead of saving the skins of everyone else in the air. At least you could be in the prper markings for your unit.

Hate having great formation shots in film viewer with only 1 skin (mine) being in the proper markings, the rest conspicuously different.

Just a little thing, but would be nice.

Not be able to alter the skin, but for example, have a new option on the right-click menu that pops up when you right click on a skin in hangar to "set as default". Would be a skin that is already in the folder, and wouldn't affect how anyone around you views the game, but just how your system displays an aircraft.

I STILL want a more flexible, intuitive, and functional film player/editor.

Trying to meet 'em halfway here. :cool:

4th, 56th, 80th, 475th, etc all have a number of skins that are accurate for their particular birds.

Always a bummer when reviewing a film to see one correct skin then and all the rest defaults. It looks so much better in the correct colors :)
