It isn't a bug; it's like this on every plane, skin 1,4,5,6 all share an MREC.

This is the reason that so many mods only use skin 2 and 3. Also, your 'debugger' skin could break other people's mods depending on load order.

Yeah I have seen the message about 1/4/5/6 sharing MREC in the modding guide while it first came out. When Silver said "bug" I was wondering why there was no one else mentioned it.

BTW seems most(if not all) of the Flanker family with camo patterns have blank MERC. Which is probably the reason why Silver didn't encountered this issue, since he was making solely Flanker skins until this one.

And the solution seems simple: make a blank MERC for F-15C. Shouldn't really have negative impacts while removing the clash caused by custom MERC.

Indeed. And "Debugger" skin *is* a blank MREC map, so it shouldn't break other people's mods, unless they use a custom MREC for Osean skin (which would affect Trigger skins anyway).

You are also very close to the truth in the reasons, why I thought it was a bug. I have encountered similar issue way back when making skins for HAWX - some planes had texture paths placed incorrectly (that usually went for duplicate planes, like F-16A and F-16C).

Also, while not all Flankers have blank MREC maps, according to RythusOmega Su-30SM uses all MRECs properly.

I'll edit the description sometime later today.

Ah, I learned how MERC works in HAWX2, where some DLC skins have non-blank MERC. After I replaced them with the skins I prefer there were still reflections of the original ones, and I figured it out by copying a original "_S01.dds" texture and use it with the replaced skin.

Is there a way to make the 3 grey colored one for special skin also. The Spare Squadron one or 8492 which ever you call it for the Special skin slot.
