Remapping is a difficult question. While mirrored things are awfull, it makes sense on larger planes. We probably could remap it, but it would also decrease the resolution, as more things had to be on the same space.
BTW: new P-40 models will have non-mirrored mapping finally.

If possible IMHO a non mirrored mapping would be preferable -even if there would be a slight resolution loss.
(Would the IL2 engine accept TWO skins for one plane -one for left side and one for right side?)
And while we are at it - please don't dual use parts of the skin - e. g. the wheel covers of the P-40 use parts of the lower wing - impossible to create one of the most iconic P-40:

And some planes -Bf109 variants e.g. - use parts that are not on its skin -the bomb rack - it would be nice if that could be made skinable or if not, then at least have a blend in feature - take a colour sample from the skin.
Right now when using a desert or Slovak scheme these racks just stick out like a sore thumb.

And as long as its not a Lightning I you are working on -YAY!
