ISS files are json files editable with any text editor. It contains a list of collection identified by a set of criteria allowing to identify the skins included into the collection

Share it with the others ?

The main goal of ISS program is to allow people to share their collections to other IL2GB players.

.iss files are made for that. Once you have build your own iss file, send it to all the other players. Then, they will have to import that iss file in their local ISS program and run the synchronization.

If you expect your ISS file not to be definitive, we strongly recommand to use proxy iss files as per Example 8 : Add a proxy ISS file

Example 1 : Filtering by IL2 Group

[
	    {
        "criteria":{
            "IL2Group": "IRRE"
        } 
    },
]

In this example, the collection targets all the planes registered in HSD for the IL2 Group “IRRE”.

Example 2 : Filtering by Skin Pack

[
	    {
        "criteria":{
            "SkinPack": "FTC TAW"
        } 
    },
]

Take all skins from HSD with from Skin pack 'FTC TAW’

Example 3 : Filtering by skin Name

[
	    {
        "criteria":{
            "Title":"IRRE_Fw190A3_Steppe"
        } 
    },
]

In this example, we only take one skin with the name “IRRE_Fw190A3_Steppe”

Example 4 : Combine criteria

[
	    {
        "criteria":{
            "IL2Group": "Flying Tin Cans",
            "SkinPack": "FTC TAW"
        } 
    },
]

Take all skins from HSD with from IL2Group FTC and Skin pack 'FTC TAW’

Combining criteria is the way to make logical “and”

Example 5 : Use wildcard criteria

[
	    {
        "criteria":{
            "IL2Group": "IRRE",
            "Title":"*Ocean*"
        } 
    },
]
