There isn't, but it'd be pretty cool if there were!   :)

Hehe  :)

Nah bilbon... from my understanding, to have custom skins means requiring everyone else to download them. I could be wrong about that, but nevertheless there are no custom skins here.

You *can* create custom nose art  - check the help pages for how.

Give custom skins, so I can avenge from those barbarians at HTC who modeled a Brazilian D25.
A P47-D25, if properly educated, should have the bubble (duh!), the Gabreski late war camouflage, the invasion stripes. :D
Anything else, is just a pale copy. And I don't care if other people can see it or not, as long as I SEE IT on my FE! hehehe.
I think HTC will get there eventually, but for now they have way more important things to develop (in their priority ladder).
Dat jugs bro.

Yea, that WOULD be damn cool.  You'd be able to guess who you were fighting just by looking at the plane, not by fighting him for a few minutes to get a feel for his style.

That way, I wouldn't waste my time on Nash's N1K2 (He'd be forced to have a hot pink paint scheme  :D), Supongo's 109G10 (whatever paint scheme he wants, as long as it is CLEARLY identifiable within a range that I can safely run away at), any of festers planes (perhaps any of the assassins planes, they give me a tough time when I fly against them)...  I'll think of more people that need distinctive paint schemes later  :)

something more constructive

i read the idea once

in hangar you chose  fuel guns egs DT + skin ???

why not ??  HTC just will decide if the skin are aproved and ad it in the packet download

actualy the revard for  some extra events ct or tod  the dedicated historic squad skin

like this your squad can build more respectable prestige and reputation for members  < instead of bashing to dead the half world >

  ;)

so some tols like in WB make the skins run the concurs on BBS board  and wote after  HTC ca nselect the finalist  and enlarge the skin selection  monthly or  with updates

I'd love it but I don't feel like downloading 250 skins everytime I connect... Maybe in the days that we all run FDDI and copper is run outta town. (it is SOON! I hope) but custom colours would R0X0R! a la Crimson Skies.. Oh, did I say a dirty word?

HOW ABOUT a skin that was visible to the client only.  That way you can have your own skins for all aircraft and then not have to worry about downloading a bazillion skins every time you log on.

It would basically work the same way the sounds do.

I would like highly polished Mylar!

AT 1200 I ought to glare like a second sun, hehe.  Can sun spots be implemented also  ;)?

That's too easy to manipulate.  Having problems seeing a camoflaged plane?  Change its color to hot pink.  Having trouble seeing a dark blue plane at dusk?  Change its color to snow white.

I think minus is on the right track...

what would it take for HTC to let me have a crack at the pony?
