Hi @SYN_Vander, I was hoping that you could clarify something for me.

It's about how skins for ambient aircraft are chosen by EMG. I'm thinking that if a default country skin is not set in plane.json then a random skin is selected from a pool containing the skins in aircraft's skin folder plus the stock tac code enabled skins?

Is that correct?

Is it possible to use planes.json to set a limited list of skins for an aircraft for a particular country that EMG will select from?

Thanks for any insights you can provide,

If the skin is not set in planse.json, it will use the default skin (usually _00 I think). It will then also assume there is a white/snow version _01 for winter season if I'm not mistaken. It will not pick a random skin.
