Storage Pt 2
« on: October 02, 2015, 08:26:00 PM »
I was going to use this as a reply, but I feel my wish is really different enough to be its own post.

How about a central location where popular skins/gunsights/soundpacks/etc. are placed? So it is easy to find and download them Like how Kerbal Space Program uses Curse.

There is alot of content that I like, but hunting through the BBS to find out where they all are is a PITA. For example I just replaced my PC, and now I dont have some of bustr's gunsights that I really like because I want to play aces high, not....

Search all over to find the specific sight I want, assuming that I know it exists at all. Then post on the bbs for help finding it because the bbs search feature is not very useful.
Wait for a reply. Get flamed for being an idiot. Finally find what I am looking for. Become annoyed when my computer's antivirus squeakes about the site the content is hosted at. Eventually download it, Figure out how to unzip it. (WHY ARE THESE THINGS ALWAYS ZIPPED RRRRRGHHHHTHTHTHGHS!@#!@ETG@#%KJ
After that, copy into Aces High directory...screw it up, redo it. Finally I get what I want.  I am being a bit dramatic, but at any point I run into one or all of these problems, I am pretty sure alot of others do to.

Why on earth can I not go to a link on the Aces high webpage labled "mods" or additional content" or such and be able to sort by type (gunsights, sounds etc) then maybe see a picture or something with a description, click on that, and have it download and install for me?

Download the alpha and install it. Copy the sights folder directly over the AH2 sights folder. Now you have my historic gunsights.

Custom gunsights are a different issue.
