I know you cannot change a default skin, but is there a way to make one of the other skins the default skin? Especially for the La-5, La-5F, and La-5FN. The solid brown default color is really lame.

I think there actually is a way to specify a default skin for your own squadron in a campaign. It's done through editing some campaign file, but I can't remember the what or how.

Solid "brown"?

You may want to look over your color settings for your GPU or monitor....They're most deffinitely green and possibly why they look so bad.
