I think all skins accepted by HTC should be on the downloads page. Then each individual would be able to pick the 15 he/she wants to see. This way some skins wont have to wait months or years to be put in game. This would also be helpfull for squads that have had their historical skins accepted but not put into rotation. And the only argument to the 'memory useage' from all the skins is already in game. If someone doesn't have a skin in their top 15 they just see the default skin of that plane. Ill give you an example.



Person A is flying with P51D skin ''353FG/352FS by Fencer''
Person B doesn't have that skin in his/her top 15 so sees person A flying in the default P51D skin.
Person C does have that skin in his/her top 15 so is able to see the skin.

I still think it would work, and relatively little effort to change it to where we can choose our skins.

First all skins must meet historic accuracy.  By allowing the creator to fly it without approval has the chance to have "unreal" skins in the game. 

Also, and based off of the first thing, HTC would need to spend more time policing the new skins instead of writing code. 



Now with all that said..........  I would love to see non-historic skins and thus opening the door for all of us to create skins that we'd like to fly. 
then you have to change the Dragon and his tail markings. That B-24 had the Dragon head on 1 side of the aircraft (left side) and its tail wraped around the bottom and up the right side of the rear fuselage

Bit of a bump but I wanted to throw this idea back up here.

I didn't agree at first, as I like knowing that others see what skin I'm in and vise versa. But flying in historical squadron, a lot of the fun comes from the historical immersion. The prospects of possibly having a skin for every known plane from the real life squadron is far too attractive.

So a solid +1 from me.

Like the Australian p51d skin that was accepted 2 years ago.
No thank you Turkish, I'm sweet enough.

See, if we could just download the skins we want then everyone would be happy. No more skin rotations, just click a link..............seems to easy.

Then, you come across a Bish mission with forty-seven P-51s all with different skins and sssttuuuuttterrrrr as each individula skin renders, over and over.

If only you are going to see the skin, of which you can only really see the wings while you're flying, what difference does it make what skin you are flying?
