[mod] Eastern front career mode default skins

[migmadmarine]

I'll have to take a look, may be a bit though, I am scrambling to finish a masters and other things art the minute, but especially as the new east front careers come on line I'll be getting back onto this.

Please tell me when S@l comes out, will you update your mod?

[migmadmarine]

I plan to, yea.

@migmadmarine Thank you so much for this mod! I've much appreciated it.

I've followed the instructions, and this is just not working, I can see the skins in Custom and select them manually, but the skins do not populate for the other aircraft... please help.  I've been trying for a couple days and trying every which way....

It sounds to me you didn’t install the scripts folders. Not at my PC at the moment but those are the folders with number names like ‘22’. Those folders tell the game which squadron uses what skin.

I moved the cong files to the existing scg folder. It's been in there since installing mods.  Should I just reinstall game? And try again? I would need guidance if any of you want to help as far as giving you a log file to look over.  I am running this with "second world War"mod.

Well that might explain it. Everytime the game updates those config files get reset to the original ones. I don't run that second world war mod but if it also changes those squodron files then the last one you installed will be in effect. 

 

I am refering to these files {these are for Battle of Stalingrad): 

[your drive]:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\IL-2 Sturmovik Battle of Stalingrad\MODS\BOS Skins\Data\scg\14 

[your drive]:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\IL-2 Sturmovik Battle of Stalingrad\MODS\BOS Skins\Data\scg\Scripts

 

Hope this helps.

Could you explain a little more what I am to do with the scripts folder? I'm sorry I'm not 100% sure what I'm doing.  I'll have a chance later today to see if I can get this to work properly. Thanks!

As per the instructions" just to drop skin files into skin folder" check I've done that. The config files I've dropped into the il2>data>created scg file... I've just did a clean install and running no MODS and it still will not work....
