Problem with default squadron skin

[Oizo]

Hi,

 

I am testing PWCG for IL-2 Sturmovik Great Battles, with the project to do some coop campaigns with 2 or3 friends, but I have a problem with default squadron skins

 

To test, I have started a single player Moscow campaign in bf109f2, with I./JG52 squadron, starting at 01 October 1941

 

According what I read from forums, squadron skins should be one specialied in the I_JG52.json file and according to campaign start date, I guess it should be this one :

 

        {
            "skinName": "bf109f2_early_I_JG52",
            "planeType": "bf109f2",
            "startDate": "19390901",
            "endDate": "19411215",
            "squadId": 20111052,
            "country": "Germany",
            "category": "Configured",
            "definedInGame": false,
            "winter": false,
            "useTacticalCodes": true,
            "tacticalCodeColor": "RED"
        }

 

As I understand, it applies for bf109f2, from 1 September 1939 to 15 December 1941, for the squadron 20111052, what I think is well the I/JG52

 

But if I look in the .mission file generated by PWCG for the 03 October 1941, the 4 planes of the flight are set with :

 

Skin = "bf109f2\bf109f2_blank_03.dds"

 

...that I think is named as "Factory Late 1940" when we choose official paint scheme

 

What's wrong ? 

 

The skin bf109f2_early_I_JG52.dds is well in ..\graphics\Skins\Bf109F2 folder (I have downloaded and extracted from Me109Early.7z file)

 

In PWCG, in Skin Analysis, selecting the Bf 109F-2, I see this :

What is strange is the squadron 20112051 is not the same as in the .json file (20111052) that I'm almost sure is I./JG52

Which is the right one and the one PWCG use to generate the mission ?

What I have also found is the  II_JG51.json also reference JG52 skins ...

Could these explain why it can't find the proper squadron skin and then apply a Factory one ?
 

Thanks

Some news about my issue.
After having tried to update the II_JG51.json file, replacing dds filenames wrongly referencing JG52 skins and replacing them with JG51 skins, this works now.
When I generate a mission, PWCG properly assigns the skin bf109f2_early_i_jg52.dds
I have done this only for f2, f4, g2 and g4 models, because for others models, there are no skins for II/51, so I let the reference to JG52 ...

Okay, new post.  I found the stink bug and got it working. 

 

In the II_JG52.json file:

 

"fileName": "III_JG52.json"  should be "II_JG52.json"

 

"bf109f2_early_I_JG52" should be "bf109f2_early_II_JG52"; also all skins needed this corrected.

 

Changing those things above did nothing to fix me getting the Official Late Factory 1940.

 

"squadronId": 20112052 is listed in the header.

 

"squadId": 20111052 was listed on all the skins.

 

Changed this to "squadId": 20112052 on all the skins and now getting the correct skin for II_JG52.

 

Also, found II_JG51.json was pointing at I_JG51 and changed that.
