Strange Skins on Sister Flight in Mission 1

[TimSell75]

The Sister flight of F18 has some strange skins, I guess it is from the Rising Squall campaign

Could you send through a pic of them please. The correct ones will have the pilots names of Chef and Grinder below the canopy on the side like those of Ford and Matrix.

Thanks

Sure, here are some images (sorry for the delay, been knocked out by Covid)

Hi, it looks like the liveries have not loaded correctly. Try reloading the campaign. Are you in open beta?  Are you running any mods? I don't think others are having this problem. You can see in a video of this mission 1 from a fellow pilot  here. Are you getting this in the other missions ?

I have reinstalled the campaign but with no change. I then uninstalled the Rising Squall campaign, and this brought up the correct skins. So somehow the Rising Squall campaign interferes with yours.

I am running the latest OB with no mods.

Another thing I noticed is that there is an AH64D launching from the cruiser right next to the carrier in the same mission, I don´t know if this is intended? Normally Apaches should not be part of a cruiser.

It may be a one off. I will check my end and see if I get the same. No one else has raised so far. I will let you know.
As for the Apaches they are probably from land forces in the area. . Seriously British Apaches have worked very successfully off carriers in the Mediterranean as part of NATO in 2011 dealing with the Gaddafi conflict over Libya. Great book ‘Apache over Libya by Will Laidlaw’.

 

EDIT: Loaded Rising Squall campaign as check and had no problems with skins, cannot recreate a livery conflict this end. Strange also because different liveries  for different campaigns are in different places and have totally different file names.   If when reinstalling Rising Squall you get  the same problem best raise it with ED as a bug but I cannot recreate it this end.

Im also having a very similar issue - I start mission 1, with the same skins as Timsell reported. I'm honestly not sure where they came from - 

I have quite a few downloaded liveries but.... Not that one - I cant figure out where it's coming from!

Also, it starts me in the Map, no ability to choose slots, and watching that same sister flight. Thats about all I can do. It's got to be a mod on my end - I have a few (A4E, Civil Air mod, F-22, Military Aircraft Mod - Thats about it other than liveries.) I may try a repair to see if that does it.

Hi

You really need to run the campaign without any mods installed. This is true for all DLC Campaigns as none are tested with mods. 
To be honest it is enough to try and keep up with the ED updates. It is simply impossible to test with all the many mods available.
Some mods can have some very strange effects.

Not sure what you mean by starting in map. Mission 1 will commence on board the carrier in your aircraft. You will not be choosing slots. 
Flying Kenny has a play through of mission 1 so you can see how things should look, here:
