Do you need help in form of money?

 

Get yourself a new email and paypal, post it here, so we can send each one of us some 10 bucks as a help/thanks for the mod in the past years.

 

 

Thanks for the thought, but the problem isn't money it's just time.  Thought I was going to get something done on this last week, but apparently RL decided I should have a small heart attack instead.  So another bit of delay, but it shouldn't be too much longer before I can get back at it.

Man, please take it easy and take care of that heart. This is just a mod, and although its a must have, the work on it can wait. Take care of you.

[Rudini]

okay, if you want to play Flying Circus with this amazing Mod, just follow these instructions:

 

disclaimer:

- ive testet it with an already running career/activatet this workaround after starting a career

- ive testet it with 1918 scenario, dont know about 1917, 1916 will not work, unlike you want to edit it by yourself

- starting a new career with this workaround activated will allow you only to play some few squadrons, like jasta 11, 40, etc.

Hopefully you're doing alright Panther!

Didn't Panther go west?

He passed? When? What?🫥

[Ace_Pilto]

No, I spoke out of turn. My apologies. I'm not sure what confused me but I recall hearing that his health was somewhat precarious. Hopefully all is well.

I installed both backs with mod installer, I have lots of custom skins(though they do not have names) However when I start a career mode the AI does not appear to use the skins I'm flying with the escadrille spa 3 which should have a stork I think, but the AI doesn't appear to have a stork.

You could try PWCG. They have a pack of skins that covers most German and Entente units. I think skins are assigned automatically.

Is Panther ok? Hes been gone a long time. I hope he has recovered from his health issues.

[KG3_Trozz]

Yes, he has been gone a while....I hope he is doing better also

@TG-55Panthercules  was this Sunday active at this BoX forum, I do hope he is OK.

Hi guys, I'm trying to incorporate some Albatros D.5 skins to Jasta 17 and Jasta 40 in the Career but I'm failing...

I could use some help, to figure out what I'm missing.

For example, I have added these lines to the 27skins.conf file:

(with no effect whatsoever)

P.S. I tried the method proposed by the Great Rudini above and everything is working fine now...

Thanks Rudini !!!

I'm working on getting this installed after I finish a Flying Circus PWCG campaign in progress. I just wanted to wish Panther well and hope his inactivity isn't a sign of the worst.
