falle96 Posted June 19, 2020 Posted June 19, 2020 Since I believe update 4.006 (might predate this some), the 34th IAP PVO during the fall months of the Battle of Moscow career mode (Chapters 1 and 2 in particular) have used the "Tigershark" camouflage for the MiG-3 ser. 24 by default, but upon booting up a career mode under the present patch, that default skin has changed to "Bolshevik." I believe this to be a bug as "Tigershark" has a description that mentions it being used by members of the real 34th IAP PVO, while "Bolshevik" has a description that mentions being used by members of the 122nd IAP. I know this is probably incredibly low on someone's priority list, but if this is a bug, I thought someone might want to know.
1CGS LukeFF Posted June 19, 2020 1CGS Posted June 19, 2020 (edited) It's not a bug - it was just an attempt of mine to get more of the stock skins into career mode. In this case, a lot of the MiG-3 skins are "blank" (in that they have no numbers on them), so I wanted to try to get as many of them into career mode, even if the exact unit numbers didn't match up.

That's such a nice idea, Luke. I see the newer grey camo tones for VVS in Kuban and some different camos in 109s for BOBP. Do you plan to increase these number of different skins in the already availible expansions? Sorry for hijacking the thread!

falle96 Posted June 20, 2020 Author Posted June 20, 2020 Ah, thanks for the response. All the same, you've forced me into a bit of a pickle! Guess I'll have to rewrite around the change.
1CGS LukeFF Posted June 20, 2020 1CGS Posted June 20, 2020 @FarflungWanderer, upon further review, I see now how I goofed on the MiG-3 skin for 34th IAP. I had totally overlooked the fact that this skin was associated with this unit. I'll submit the fixed file for inclusion. Thank you for pointing this out! 1

No problem, happy I could help out in some small way!
falle96 Posted July 2, 2020 Author Posted July 2, 2020 @LukeFF I hate to bother you about this, but I was wondering what would happen to campaigns in progress when the next patch comes around. I'm sitting on the first day of a career in the 34th, and the missions for the day have already been generated. Will the update automatically "fix" the planes to use the right skins, or is the mission file already made for those days and thus the skins are fixed?

When you advance to the next day, the game will incorporate any changes made to the config files since the last update. Until then, the current config settings will remain in place. 1
falle96 Posted July 2, 2020 Author Posted July 2, 2020 Thank you for your quick reply! I'll keep that in mind going forwards.
1CGS LukeFF Posted July 9, 2020 1CGS Posted July 9, 2020 All should be good to go now with MiG-3 skin assignments.
