custom skins ?

[Avyx]

Hello everyone,

Is it possible to create / change / download / custom skins for BoS / BoM / BoK ?

Thank you in advance

One thing to keep in mind with custom skins and multiplayer: For a player to see your custom skin, they also need to have it downloaded (or more precisely, they need a skin of the same name in the given aircraft's skin folder... technically the content of the skin need not be the same). If a player does not have such a file, your plane will wear the default skin from their perspective,

 

One important consequence of this is that using a custom skin in winter means most people will see you wearing the default, non-winter camo.

I wish the game would automatically set a default winter camo in case a person doesnt have ur skin ...

So that everyone can see you on summer maps?

Read the context of the comment above mine and u will understand what I mean ...

Exactly.

 

Rather than just "default" camo, it would be great if there was "default winter" and "default summer" camo show up for players who are not using custom-paintschemes.

Yeah that would be awesome. Or just tend towards gray defaults so they work decently in both places.

That would be very nice to have in Multiplayer!

I would rather have skins work like they used to in '46, with selectable layers for the base skin with camo etc, then decals for insignia and then squadron codes/serial numbers and nose/tail art. Allowing for a degree of customisation without the requirement for everyone to have the same skins installed.

 

I'm sure there's a reason we don't have that in game as it is though but I do miss it. Even though the way it was implemented in '46 was sometimes not ideal it added a lot.
