What editor can you use for editing the .RES file types for editing skins?

Only the mapmaker can change them, if it were any other way there would be multiple versions of every map causing all kinds of conflects.

Would you happen to know what editor can you use for creating new skins for aircraft in AH2? I may be able to come across it.

You export the default skin from the AH2 program in the hangar, and it goes into its own directory in the Skins subdirectory of the root AH2 directory. Then you can make copies of the BMP files that were saved out and edit them to make your own skin. Use whatever graphics editor you choose to make the new skins.

First, a pre-emptive apology if this has already been discussed.  I've not been on the boards in ages and last night was my first venture into AH2.

I noticed my system continually downloaded skins as I played and my suggestion is that there be some way to actually pan around the skin/model in the hangar so that I can better select which would fit my fancy.  As of right now, when I hit the view keys in the hangar I basically look towards the hangar walls, floor and ceiling.  

Otherwise, I'm really happy to see downloadable skins.  Whoever created the 332nd's skin, big kudos to you!

The somewhat inappropriately-named Normal Heights. Between Adams and El Cajon Blvd east of the 805.
