I was just thinking, perhaps some planes could have differenet paint jobs that you could select from. That would be difficult to select (if Airfight uses the same pick each time you die method as in Beta 2), but perhaps you could have prefs on what kind of paint job you'd like to have on each plane, so when you select a plane it comes out with your prefered paint job (as in the example below, perhaps something like this in the User.ini file or a new "AirfightSkins.ini"). I dunno about now, but perhaps in a later expansion though this would be good. Also, I like the ideas of having expansions with different vehicles from different wars (Vietnam, Korea, WWII, WWI, so on so forth...) that someone mentioned the other day, and I think multiple skins would fit WWI/WWII planes very well.
Example:
{
[AirfightSkins]
Airfight.F15=AirfightSkins.F15Tex3
Airfight.F16=AirfightSkins.F16Tex1
Airfight.F18=AirfightSkins.F18Tex1
Airfight.F111=AirfightSkins.F111Tex2 //I dunno if the F-111 is ever gonna be in Airfight but I hope so.
Airfight.F117=AirfightSkins.F117Tex0 //of course some planes wouldn't look good with more than one skin, like the F-117, unless you count the original paint job that never went into service. Perhaps it would be neat to include that paint job anyway.
so on so forth...
}
