homepage Forums Air Combat & Civil Aviation Wings: Over Flanders Fields Errors Found in Labels for Skin

I've used the occasion of OBD releasing their 1.17 patch to update my BH&H2 skin naming mod to version 1.8. I discovered a few more name issues -- this time with squadron names not ace names. Here are the changes:

Add missing space in MFJ squadrons for the Fokker_EV planes.

Clean up Aviatik skins with "_Sqd" in their name since they seem to be a misname. Skins without the _Sqd in their name already exist.

I've just sent the BH&H2 mod to Sandbagger (check your PMs Mike). Look for a separate announcement from him when he has it ready. Attached is the updated batch file for UE & PE.

As always, use at your own risk; but please let me know if something isn't correct.

Thanks, Mandrews. Top-notch work!

Good find. Yes, anything with "sqd" can be removed. I'm guessing that was acciendentally copied into the skins folder before it was packaged. The Sqd is meant for the /aircraft folders and does not get used by the game in the /skins folder.

Whoa... how did I miss so many EV skins?!? So glad you are doing this. Just think how many more you made active in the sim. Between you, Lou and Jerbear, you guys deserve an award for accuracy and additional content!

Thank you mandrews! Awesome.

Hey Gang,

Is it just me or are there problems with the HD BE2c's Each time I can only get the default skin? It may be me.

Take care!

What year and what squadron are you flying? There aren't many custom BE2c_HD skins (9):

1915 Dover & Yarmouth
1916 Yarmouth
1917 37 Sqn, 39 Sqn, 50 Sqn, East Church, Manston, Yarmouth

I haven't tried a quick campaign to see if they show up.

Hi Mandrews ... Its all of them in one way or another. The best one to try in quick combat is 1917 37 Sqn - Its the most obvious! Thank you so much for looking into it! Let me know what you find.

I have found if I remove the HD from the skin it works (apart from the radiator which is the default green one (shared))

thanks again

Seb

Hi Seb --

37 Sqn looks like it might be a bad choice for testing. It's Be2c_HD squadron skin matches the default skin in E:\OBDSoftware\WOFF\OBDWW1 Over Flanders Fields\aircraft\RAF_BE2c_HD_Sqd\Textures\RAF_BE2c_HD_Sqd_t.dds, so I can't tell if the game is pulling from the default or the Skins directory. But, if I assign myself the 50_Sqn I am seeing the Skins directory skull and crossbones on their BE2c_HDs, so I don't think there's a problem.

If I haven't done a valid test for what your seeing let me know, and I'll try something else.
