Now I've become more confused. I'm in Escadrille 38 in Jan. 17. I was assigned a Nieuport 23-Vickers and that gives no options for skins. I looked at the names of the skins within the game. Some specify that they are for N23-Lewis and some are just N23 with no indication of which gun. When I go to Quick Combat it shows only one N23, with no indication of which gun it has. QC also forced me to use the default skin.

http://www.thatoneplease.co/UpdatedskinsWOFF.htmlOn my phone so I can’t check the exact file contents of the 48MB download, but scroll down the page to the Nieuport 23 Skin Pack. “Introduces new or corrected skins...” Clearly at one time or another a French Ace was in a N23 but, as I stated, to expect OBD to include a custom Skin for each ace, in every plane type they ever flew, is not realistic. Guess we’ll throw Squadron defaults for every Squadron in that category also. And I have yet to fly French.

Then (again not being on my machine) I believe it is an issue with the campaign files as you say and “fixable” only by OBD if I am understanding this all via the texted word. With some file renaming you can change the default Squadron skin and you always have the option to pick your own - which I personally save till I achieve acedom. EDIT: Wait. You can’t pick (or see) any of the new skins via the drop down boxes in QC or in the campaign for yourself?

Interesting. Another game twitch? I have any and all skins and reinstalled the N23 skins just to make sure.
Like mvp7 and the OP I only show the N23 Default Skin in QC. Have not tried in a Campaign. N23 (Lewis) show just fine. Its just the N23 with the problem.
EDIT: Just to make sure it wasn't some British Pilot/French skin thing I made a French career in N38 when they had the N23. Only Default skin available in the campaign and QC. No others show in any of the drop downs. Why is this an issue for only some?

Hi all, Over the years I made skins for OFF and WOFF for the following Noops:
11, 16, 17, 17bis, 17 Lewis, 23, 23 Lewis, 24, 24bis, 24bis Lewis, 24 Lewis, 27, 27 Lewis and 28.
I recall that during builds for release, the size of the builds was always a problem, especially given the sheer amount of skins. In order to limit the build to a sensible size, sometimes HA skins were not included and only squad defaults were. It's just a guess, but if there are skins actually 'missing', then maybe some skins are still in the 'OBD archives' and haven't yet been included or coded into WOFF, However as 'Shred' said, if they are listed in-game, then presumably they are coded to show and therefore should be available.
Mike
