+elephant Posted July 15, 2011 Author Posted July 15, 2011 (edited) Thanks for the answer and support Winder! Just a heads up for anyone that ever wants to fly with Jasta 37, Ace skin of Kurt Grasshof is misspelled by default in OFF! That's why it's not showing in Campaign... To address this go to: (Your sim folder) > campaigns > CampaignData > skins and rename: off_Alb_DV_later_Ace_t_Jasta 37 1917_Kurt_Grasshoff.dds to: off_Alb_DV_later_Ace_t_Jasta 37 1917_Kurt_Grasshof.dds Edited July 15, 2011 by elephant Quote
Herr Prop-Wasche Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 Sadly, I have confirmed what Winder has said above. Apparently, any modification to the FM causes the OFF Manager to recognize the modded aircraft as invalid. You can see this by going to OBD Software\CFSWWI Over Flanders Fields\Campaigns\CampaignData\ and clicking on the Off_text.log file. The good news is that this does not interfere with your ability to fly with the FM changes. The bad news, of course, is that the OFF Manager substitutes all ace skins with generic ones. In summary, you can use the FM mod and experience all of the FM changes. However, all of the pretty ace skins (not sure about the custom ones) will not show up. P.S. The damage mod does not seem to cause any problems. Quote
Herr Prop-Wasche Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 Olham, I am pretty sure you have a bad installation--either of the main game, or more likely, my FM mod. Please contact me and we can try to sort this out. Quote
+Olham Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 Elephant, did the skin appear after your change of the name? Herr Prop-Wasche, I will contact you on the weekend about JSGME. Quote
+elephant Posted July 15, 2011 Author Posted July 15, 2011 (edited) Yes of course, that why I posted the tip. It's a spelling mistake by default. Nothing to do with the FM mod... Edited July 15, 2011 by elephant Quote

+Hasse Wind Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 Well, it's good to know that the cause of the problem has been found. I hope the devs can work their magic without too much trouble to make the skins work with the FM mods soon. I haven't had any problems with the DM mod, so that one I'm definitely keeping activated all the time. Thanks for your hard work, HPW and of course the OFF devs! Quote
Herr Prop-Wasche Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 Thanks, Winder. I appreciate it. You guys are still "aces" in my book. Quote
