Author of AKM wanted to keep diversity among all variants. Bakelite mags for AKM realistic btw

I see, but is there a way to use eliteness and edit the weapons to make it uniform?

which pbo of the mod should I modify to change the akm textures?

So if I have a copy of the afrf 0.4.2, which model should I replace to get a uniform AKM look?

And also, this is just a request, but could we please have an option to select the type of weapon magazine in the virtual arsenal instead of a default randomization please, the lone akm's bakelite texture is soul breaking.

Actually, I tried it out with the afrf 0.4.2 rhs_akm.p3d file, though it did not work.

But my request remains, could you please have the option to select the rifle with the different magazines instead of a default pick?

For mismatch colored magazines I shed my ocd tears. A promise of being fixed in the future is good enough for me. I can only but hope...

In the meanwhile, is there a way I can get the 0.4.2.2 legacy downloads for the 4 mods somewhere?

there is no "promise" of being "fixed", as there is nothing to be fixed to begin with. That is how i wanted the mags to be for these weapons, that's how they will stay until either BI provides a magazine proxy (unlikely), or we find a scripted solution to have all type of mags working on the same weapon.

no, we do not provide legacy downloads anymore.
