This is the official bug report comment. If you find a bug (or suspect one), submit a bug report and reply to this comment with the skin, skin slot, and what the bug is. I'll try to respond as fast as I can.
The Trigger F-104C uses a different skin that what's shown in the previews for Slot 5. The skin has a black tailfin and lacks both the chrome and the sin lines.
Edit: Upon further investigation, I found that the skin, which was actually from the "Historic Warlock" pack, had already taken the slot previously. I have since removed it and your skin now works as intended.
Thanks for reporting. I just installed the Slot 5 (Spare) version and it's exactly what is in the previews. Could you upload the pak to dropbox/MEGA and/or take some screenshots? If nothing else I can provide you with a working pak and work out the issue here.
Edit: Here's confirmation that the skin I used (and took from the pre-zipping folder) has no bugs: https://imgur.com/a/fOWDqda
I want to report about blurry (low-detailed skin as in... low res image) "SACS Zero-One" skin (w/ tail code AL at the time of this writing) when placed at skin slot 7. Alicorn set. I can send you the screenshot if you want proof. Let me know.
I'd like that screenshot, yeah. I believe there is a bug that causes some textures to appear low-res but as far as I know it's a UE4 editor bug that I didn't trigger. Not sure what else could be causing it.
Here you go. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2232344707 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2232344791 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2232344855
Edit: Probably something with how you save. I have an incident where I got this when I set the texture's TextureGroup to World in UE4. Might be worth checking out and see if you can fix it in new version.
I would like to point out that the skin for Gargoyle Squadron, and this applies to all skin slots, it shows up in regular gray color instead of Black and red. Is this some sort of issue or am I not installing the skin pack right? I sincerely enjoy the looks of Gargoyle Squadron a lot and I want to use it, but atm, I can't.
Hi. Are you sure you didn't install the Gargoyle TPS skin? The TPS skin is a grayish blue skin that's a bit more realistic, the other one is the black and red one. I'm currently low on screenshots so I apologize for that.?
Getting multiple skin conflict errors when installing all the skin packs. All I'm doing is installing the .pak files for the NPC skins, and I'm not choosing any specific skin slots from any of the mods. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hey, just to ask, do I need every piece of DLC to make the files work?, I'm trying to use the LRSSG pack, but i keep getting errors saying the files dont exist when i try to move the .pak files.
So uhh... just asking a question. Is it possible to replace LRSSG npc f15Cs with F15Es, if so how do you replace them? If that's not possible, can you at least add a LRSSG NPC F15E skin pack?
I'll come right out and say it: I don't have a damn clue how to use any of these. I've downloaded them with Vortex, but something tells me I shouldn't have, because apparently all the skins conflict, and all my planes have the same skins for every slot now, and if anyone can point me towards a link as to how I'm meant to install this mod or something of the like, I would deeply appreciate it. The skins look fantastic though.
EDIT: For anyone out here as confused as I am, and also using vortex, I have the solution. If all you want is for the NPCs to have these new skins then I can help. I'll use the LRSSG set as my example.
Start by installing the mod. Vortex will take a while to unpack it, but when the unpacking is finished, a window will pop up informing you that multiple mod files have been detected. Do NOT select "Install All" in the bottom right. Instead, click "Enable All" (or click every check box) and then go with "Install Selected." After that, the next screen should be a huge list of all the .pak files available in the mod. Click "Disable All" and look through all the files. Select the one that says "Set 3 - LRSSG\F-15C\LRSSG NPCs\TCP - 03 - F-15C LRSSG Skins - NPC_P.pak" and then proceed by clicking "Install Selected." Et voila! When you next step in to a mission with said NPCs, they'll have the right skins on their planes, while you get to keep whatever skin you want for Trigger!
Any chance you could update the mod to include the DLC F-15 S/MTD? It's my favorite plane in the game and I'd love to see it get the amazing visual overhaul the rest of the planes in the game get with the mod.
Also, if you are able to update the mod for the DLC S/MTD, would it be possible for you to create skins for Mage, Spare, and Strider? I like using the plane for the entire game, and it unfortunately stands out when all of the NPC planes have the detailed textures and additional insignias and markings and I'm flying a plane that doesn't have any of those.
At the moment I'm working on a much bigger, more ambitious project to totally overhaul the main campaign, and due to how far my skin-making abilities have progressed, I'm basically unsatisfied with almost everything in TCP. I may come back to it eventually and finish it, but for the moment I don't have plans to.
TCP is basically dead at the moment. I'm working on a much bigger, more ambitious project at the moment and I'm unsatisfied with basically everything at this point due to how far my skin-making abilities have progressed, and I don't want to redo all the skins right now.
I might come back to it eventually, but for the moment there are no plans for further updates.
i really dont want to be THAT guy, i used to mod for other games myself quite a ton back in the day and i know how much work that means. But are you still working on the TCP?

Footpad skin uses Boggard Modex.
F-22A Strider skin also has the F-15 S/MTD Strider skin in it due to an error in packing.
These two will be fixed in a patch, but a new update including Mihaly and some Erusean Flankers is coming soon as well.
Edit: Upon further investigation, I found that the skin, which was actually from the "Historic Warlock" pack, had already taken the slot previously. I have since removed it and your skin now works as intended.

I'll let you know if I find some others.

Edit: Fixed it :)
