Aircraft customisation. - 03/31/11 11:41 PM
I don't understand whether this feature is broken, i'm not using it correctly, or something else.
I go through the whole process of customizing a MkIIa Spitfire (complete with dirty word serial number), I then create and save a loadout with the most psychedelic tracer combination possible and then I hit OK.
I then pick a Spit IIa for a quick mission, select custom from the drop-down menu and hit fly. But when I enter the game there's no sign of my aircraft, loadout, dirty word....nothing.
Anyone had any success with this yet? Is it just a multiplayer thing?

Yeah, I was wondering about that.
Perhaps it's just for your online mount?
Edit: Or for when those campaigns become playable?

I also didn't get that thing to work. As I've posted in another thread: What's bothering me about this isn't the paint-schemes but rather the convergence. There's no other place to set it up and the game seems to ignore the changes I make in the plane-loadout-screens, plus I can't load my custom loadouts in a quick mission ...

OK, I just tried the internet game Swallow mentioned. My Spitfire had the right tracers so something is working. Just not sure of the extent.

Yeah, would love that option. I'm getting tired of flying Italian 109.

Why couldn't they just include that excellent quick-mission-setup-screen from Il-2 instead of those silly "quick missions" where you can only set up two or three parameters?
*sigh*

I'm so glad to hear it's not just me and my think head!!! I thought I was the only kid on the block who couldn't figure out how to get this to work... What's up with that, huh?

Agreed I think this option is bugged at present.

Yes the menu is terrible, very counter-intuitive, especially considering the QMB we had in IL2.
Using it gets me irate, so I just have to hit fly and take it out on the opposition, I feel much better after that
