COD skin ideas

[DoolittleRaider]

Please glance over this thread: http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=17959

In it I raised the matter of historically incorrect aircraft markings (Unit ID code markings on fuselage, incorrect Balkenkreuzen, etc) as were being seen in the weekly updates. Others raised points of inaccuracies in RAF roundel coloring, tail insignia/flash colors, etc.

I was told repeatedly not to worry, that my observations/suggestions were premature, because the screencaps were just of W.I.P. skins, that the markings shown were just "Placeholders", that correct markings would be in the Release version, and that in any event the user would have complete flexibility to place/modify/select markings as he saw fit.

In the released versions of ClOD, however, nothing seems to have been changed/corrected with regard to correct historical markings.

I do not yet have ClOD (I'm in US)
Question: Can the historical errors such as those which I mentioned in my "Constructive Comments" thread be corrected by the user in ClOD as it has been released? I've looked at the German manual, and seen the markings section, but it does not have flexibility in markings placement/location, and seems to have only limited flexibility in markings selection/colors.

Question: Will the 3rd party skinners be able to correct the markings/placement, or does the 'Layer' system of the skins prevent that?

Opinion/question: IL-2 when first released had the same default 'absence' of the hakenkreuzen...yet there was an almost immediate "quasi-3rd party" 'fix', and it did not involve the feared "Modification" of the code!

Why would 1C have not followed the same procedure with ClOD as they did with IL-2? Why would they design ClOD to be impossible (or seemingly much more difficult) to 'fix' by some 3rd party person to allow use of hakenkreuzen by those who want them? Did anyone go to jail or pay a fine in a German court for the Hakenkreuzen "mod" used in IL-2 worldwide for 9 1/2 years???
