The latter, you could always copy Off_RAF_BE2c_t_RFC-2 1916.dds skin and rename the copy
to
Off_RAF_BE2c_early_t_RFC-2 1916.dds
in the skins folder.

Hi Pol,

While you're talking skins, there are 17 Aviatik skins at the top of the Skins directory that don't have the Off_ prefix in their file name. All of the rest of the 6000+ skins use the Off_ prefix. Are these 17 skins Ok or should we rename them with the Off_ prefix.

Thanks!

Well if you can choose them in QC or manager then there is no problem

Hey Pol, Actually it looks like you can't currently select them in QC or in Campaign Manager.

They need to be renamed by both adding the "off" to the beginning of the filename and then also removing the"Sqd" portion of the filename so they are listed in the same format as the other skins.

For example: "Aviatik_CI_Sqd_t_FFA 7 1917.dds" <-will not show up in list of skins in QC or Campaign.

However, renaming the skin to "off_Aviatik_CI_t_FFA 7 1917.dds" does allow it show up in both QC and Campaign.

Looks like something to look into as all those 17 Aviatik skins are not useable currently without renaming...

Hi Matt,

Yeah, I added the "Off_" prefix to them so I could see them in game but left the "Sqd" in the file name so I could find them again if a patch from OBD came looking for them I could rename them back to original status. If OBD decides the fix is just for everybody to rename them then I'll take out the "Sqd" also so they will display in the same format as the other skins. Easy fix either way smile2

Yes they are incorrectly named skins from the Skins Add on DVD so they need the off_prefix and no "Sqd".
