Additional Plane Slots:

10 empty custom plane slots, named Custom Plane 01~10, each one with 10 skin slots

this mod is only providing empty plane slots, just like how additional skin slots mod is only providing empty skin slots

----

Skin Pawn Zero:

change the referring of plane pawn to skin pawn 00 on skin slot 1 in the skin data table

by game default, skin slot 1 is referring to plane pawn while the remaining skin slots are referring to skin pawns inheriting data from plane pawn. as a result, even though skin slot modifying on other skin slots are already possible, any modifying on skin slot 1 must affecting all other skin slots.

by this introduction of skin pawn zero, now all skin slots are in the same style of referring skin pawn files for every skin slots, and thus modifying skin slot 1 only is now possible

this mod will not bring obvious changes in-game due to skin pawn 00 is purely replacing plane pawn in the referring within the skin data table. the utility / usefulness of skin pawn 00 only appear when a mod is utilizing skin pawn 00, for example, skin slot pilot swap or skin slot weapon swap.
