Unique skins mod

[Stonehouse]

Updated version of EffeDB's old mod. Allows you to use the unique skins for the Bf109F2, Bf109F4, IL2M42, IL2M43, Ju52, Lagg3, Yak1s69 and Yal1s127 shipped with the game as a reward for pre-orders. These rewards are from quite a few years ago and EffeDB's mod was from around 2018 and I didn't see any comments that allowing people to use them at that time was inappropriate. If it turns out that the dev team doesn't approve now and just didn't notice EffeDB's mod back in 2018, then moderators please remove this post. 

 

The unique skins will appear as the last skin in the official skin list. 

 

I removed the parts of the old mod dealing with unlocks and WW1 aircraft as I believe they aren't needed anymore. If I'm wrong about that let me know.

 

** There is a clash between this mod and AI Gunnery for the Ju52. If you load this mod after AI Gunnery then you won't be able to use the co-pilot position and if AI Gunnery is after this mod you will not be able to access the unique skins for the Ju52

 

IMPORTANT NOTE: From patch 5.504b I will only be maintaining this mod as part of the AI Gunnery mod

 

JSGME enabled.

Pics?

[Stonehouse]

They are just game skins given as rewards, so I thought people knew of them. Will knock some up and post them.

Just curious.   Were they historical as far as you know?   They look pretty cool. 

[Stonehouse]

Yellow 5 on the BF109f2, White 25 on the Yak and the two IL2 skins perhaps no idea about the Diamond skin. Doubt the Ju52 is although the colour scheme might be based on a civil paint job. They are all rewards for pre-orders etc so the info is likely out there in an old post somewhere.

This is fine as it is post 5.106

[Stonehouse]

Don't believe this needs to be updated and I believe it will be fine post 5.107.

I believe this mod is fine post 5.108

[Stonehouse]

I believe this mod is fine post 5.201

[Stonehouse]

This mod is fine post 5.202 but it should be noted that there is now a file level clash between this mod and the AI Gunnery mod due to the AI Gunnery mod also changing the file info.txt for the Ju52 to enable the 2nd pilot position for human players. 

 

I may decide to eventually roll this mod into the AI Gunnery mod to make life easier for all.

Believe fine post 5.203

Believe fine post 5.203b reminder about the file level clash for the Ju52 however that has been there for a while now.

ok after 5.204b

[Stonehouse]

OK this one is fine after 5.504b, however due to the file level clash for the Ju52 I have decided that I will merge this mod into the AI Gunnery mod. As a result, I won't maintain this version past this time. Future updates will be via the AI Gunnery mod.

 

Happy to hear feedback about the above but I have less time these days and would like to reduce the number of mods to monitor and maintain.
