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?
