Auto download skins won't stay checked in the hangar

[F77]

Has anyone else noticed that this won't stay checked?  Check it, leave hangar, return and it is unchecked again.

Cheers

Yes, it's been like that for awhile. You can manually edit the file and change the 0 to 1 and it will stay checked.
Go into your Aces High folder, goto settings and look for 'skins.cfg' file. Contents should look like "0,DownloadSkinsEnabled"  and then change the 0 to a 1 and save it.

I can't duplicate this problem.  It sounds like it's a permissions issue where Windows is not letting AH write to that file.  Do you have problems with any other configurations not saving?  What version of Windows are you using?

Now I just checked mine and on the new computer, running Win7 64 Bit, it stays checked. But I recall emailing Skuzzy about this, wont post any of those personal, private communications here, when I was using my older rig which ran WinXP.
Pretty sure Skuzzy would give me permission to share Pyro and I'm 99% sure I have them but there was no resolution then and I'm pretty sure Skuzzy was in the same boat you are with non duplication.

It was around July 31, 2012 and the jist of the conversation was it may have had to do with my use of Avast anti-virus software. Was not confirmed but a possibility. I did and still do use the 'disable until restarted' option when running Aces High.

Same problem here

[Pyro]

Have you guys ever backed up your settings folder or moved it from another computer?  Can someone go into their Aces High\settings folder and delete the file skins.cfg and see if the problem persists?

I can't help ya out    As mentioned it doesn't happen on my new rig with Win7 64b, and AH wont run on the old XP one that I had it happen on. Good luck.

And with the old rig, no on backup or even reloading AH for that matter. Think I ran an updated version for a few years.
