Using winter skins by default

[LukeFF]

Is there a way for the program to assign the default winter skin for each aircraft when flying on the winter version of the map? (I have in mind the first skin that is unlocked for each aircraft in the game's stock campaign mode).

Yes, skin assignments can be made by date

Excellent. When does PWCG switch over to the winter map?

Any idea? I have non winter skins on AI aircraft:

Next release.  If you don't want to wait you can edit the squadron file yourself.

 

Example below to add in a He111 winter skin.  

 

            Skin

            {

                Name = "he111h6_skin_01";

                Plane = "he111h6";

                StartDate = 01/11/1942;

                EndDate = 31/03/1943;

            }

Thank You Patrick for reply. I discovered this option for personal skin for each aircraft from my Sqd. It works:

 

 

I'll wait for the new version also.

Hey Pat! I have an issue where even after I added a personal skin for my plane, I still have to choose it every single mission on the plane setup screen, if I dont choose it, the game spawns me with the default one. The AI spawn with the correct skin that I assigned though. Any ideas or workaround this ?

I'll have to look at that.  No immediate reason why it should do that.
