It's an unfortunate effect of the way the files are structured. Escadrille Lafayette had a mix of Nie 11s and Nie 16s right from the getgo, and the datafiles reflect that. However, the ace skins are called up in order, and if a newer ie Nie16, skin is available, then that is the one you see. Just thinking off the top of my head, one could make a workaround, perhaps via JGSME when flying Escadrille Lafayette. One could simply have a skins folder with no Esc LaF Nie 16 skins in it, and the manager would then only have Nie11 skins to choose from. Or some combination of. We always had a plan to have an ace skins line in the base datafiles, which would have a skin called up for a given ace on a given date, but that scheme was never implemented.
Cheers, shredward
We will remember them.

Just an update - removed all the N16 skins and still seeing a full complement of HA N16s in Escadrille LaF. For now, my quick fix is to rename the N11 skins as N16 skins, so at least the 'look' is there EDIT: Okay, I've noticed something else. I'm not sure, but I think that some of the HA ranks might be wrong for the time. Most of the HA's are commissioned (Adjutant) when to my understanding all the American pilots in the Lafayette were enlisted (IIRC, only Thaw was ever actually commissioned in the French army). Also, Georges Thenault is an Adjutant, when I am sure he should be a Capitane.
