Replace this P-51D skin


with this one, submitted by Cactuskooler


Remember the old saying, "Always look your best."   I think some of the older skins no longer make a good impression, and it's especially important on popular planes like the P-51D.  Dizzy Rebel would wow the two-weekers, I know it!

I agree.  Especially some of the 190 and 109 skins that are cookie cutter.  Freshen some of these up.

Nice Skin!  :aok
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

Also, why are we allowed only 15 per plane? It shouldn't be a problem for the folks with low end since they can disable skins.

+1, skins do need to be replaced more often with some sort of measurable frequency, IMHO.

Maybe HTC could have someone throughout the community(fester, oboe come to mind) to help put new skins in every month.

I wouldn't think anybody will put in the time to do new Yak skins until the 3D model is overhauled.   Yaks should be pretty high on the priority list though given how popular they are in the arenas.  The Yaks may be the most popular of all the rides that have not yet been remodeled.

Just to be clear too, this thread is not meant to diss Warhound's skin.  Back in the day when it was created I'm sure it was a fine skin.  But skinners have greatly improved their craft and technique in the years since it was released, and new skinning talent has come along.   Horse's Itch is just plain outclassed by many of the skins waiting in the queue to be rotated in.
