Official skins that are not available in MP

[WWSitttingDuck]

was flying in a spad in MP, went to get my squad skin, and while in the custom drop down, it was showing me all the Official skins, not the named ones, just all the numbered ones.  

But realized, when we are in MP, and go to pick an Official skin, we do not have the option of picking ALL the skins there are for that plane, just a few named ones.  Anyone who has done up a mission, and gone to change an AI skin will know how many they have to choose from, but not all of them are available to human pilots in the same mission.

 

in the picture, I can choose this nice red spad skin (an official skin, not a custom skin),  or the nice one above it, but none of the other pilots that were flying with me could choose them, cause they plain do not show up in their list. It will show up for them in game. (again, cause it's an official skin)

 

Any ideas of why this might be?

Check on the "lock skins" setting on Dserver. I cant remember what the setting is called - possibly "show custom skins", but its down by the lock mods/lock fuel setting checkboxes.

 

Just guessing....

 

Also - mines a litespeed.... ??

well damn, figured out all those skins are ROF skins.  I have no idea how they got into my skins folder.........

Maybe Pat Wilson's skin pack has all the ones you need?

 

I found a Storebror SAS collection and 3GB large torrent called "IL-2 Great Battles Skin Pack v3".

Must be something useful, but it's a slow torrent .
