Skin Package Download

[Raptor]

I wish there were a download on the aces high website of the entire skin pack, in addition to the individual skins for each airplane.

Plus one.  Also would be nice to have thumbnail pics to see what the skins look like before downloading.  NetAces has this but the site hasn't been updated in a while,
so a bunch of newer skins haven't been listed yet.

There USED to be one.

I also agree this would be a good  thing.

You think that skin page is done by hand?  I wrote a program to generate it.  And it would take much longer than two hours to snapshot every skin (403 skins right now).

And, there's a post somewhere, that I couldn't find, why downloading every skin is maybe not a good idea....

It never did anything to my rig.

In Chekov voice: "That's what I said. Alameda."

OK, I realize it's a lot of hours to post thumbnails of all the planes.  How about only post thumbnails of the skins as they are entered into service.
Just like the teaser shots of upcoming planes on the homepage,  there could be the "new skins available" announcement with pics.

Skins used to be in download packs that installed on your system.

The problem is that HTC started revamping old planes, making skins in that pack non-functional (quite a few "why isn't this working" -- "it's an old skin, removed" questions). On top of that, the number of skins in the game used to be a fraction of what you have available to you now. Putting in a 20MB download for skins was plausible... Now you'd need (I guess) 300 to 400 MB heheh

And that gigantic 300 to 400 MB file would need to be laboriously repacked for every new couple of skins put out, removing "dead" skins and adding a couple of new ones.

Not worth the effort and time wasted on HTC's part.
