You should not have had to delete anything.  Weird.

Deleted #6 skin as this seems to be the issue & let it reload again by it's self.

It loaded when I tried to view it I was back with 2x204TH skins?

It does not make any sense.  The list of skin names, in the hangar, comes from the "skins.res" file and not the actual skin.  I'll dig further into this.  I still have one more batch of skins to release.

With the last 2 skin releases about half of the P40E american skins when you look at them in the convergence app are all the Bob's Robin skin.

This is like the old joke that voters are harsher to their beer brewer if he has an outage, than their politicians after raising their taxes. Death and taxes are certain but, fun and sex is only now.

Found a duplicate 109g6 skin and a TA-152H skin.

None of the P40E's appear to be duplicated.

Turns out all P40E american skins were Bob's Robin. Deleted all 15 res files and rerunning auto download.

When you have old skin.res files from before a graphics update, they remain even after that plane is remodeled. You will only see their names in the offline skins list. Only the new correct-shape skins show up in the servers. When you choose any of them they should default to the "default" skin because they cannot be displayed. In this case, "Bob's Robin" is the default P-40E skin we have.


So you just had old skin files filling your offline skins list, that's all.


Skuzzy: You missed one B-29 duplicate. It's not the same unit with different planes, but rather looks like the skin was updated and instead of replacing itself added a second.

The first with this name is: b29_4



The second with this name is b29_10



Note that the plane codes and nose art are the same except the noseart is in a different color. This is why I suspect it was a resubmission rather than a new addition.

The solution would be take 10 and put it in the 4 slot to update that one.

Thanks Krusty. I was just going to say that I already wrote to Skuzzy that my correction of that B-29 got put in as a added plane instead of a replacement. I was told it was going to be taken out at the next opportunity. To be honest it was my fault because I forgot to include the # with my upload. So it got taken as an addition. In fact I have a strange plane # in my list of planes that doesn't match my emails and am assuming it's that. The second one (gold lettering) is the newest one. The new setup for skinners should hopefully fix this for the future.
