Multiple aircraft with custom skins

[Ratty]

Hi all,

Does anyone know how to have multiple non-player aircraft set up with custom skins in the same mission?

I'm working on some additional skins for Treble Oneski and would like to be able to review multiple aircraft in-game at once rather than testing individually.

Cheers

Yes Ratty you can. You have to place each individual plane, and then lock the skin to the custom one you want in the advanced options.

There is a detailed step by step on this in the Mission Editor Manual.

Cool, cheers Shadepiece. Thought it might be an FMB-only thing. Will give it a bash when I get home

OH! It is an FMB thing. You can't do it all yourself in a quick mission however, you can do a couple at a time with a quick mission. Set the flight of friendlies to 1x each, and then individually select the skin under their settings. You can do three at a time that way without touching the ME.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction - FMB isn't exactly intuitive is it?!

Wow those look very nice Ratty! The only real issue is the black stripes though. At least for our campaign in the Moscow area the VVS only had plain green liverys. Trystan should be able to elaborate.
