Vehicle skins have their own auto download checkbox
« on: September 09, 2016, 11:55:41 AM »
I'm auto downloading skins and I noticed it's doing vehicle skins while I want to finish up my plane skins downloads.

I don't even drive vehicles or care about their skins. It would be nice if that had it's own download checkbox so I could choose to not get that.

Or maybe even just break it out into sections like the plane selection.

All Fighter Bomber Vehicle Boat  ...each tab could have it's own checkbox for auto download of skins.

Would be easier to manually download them once they are posted on the website. Then you can pick and choose exactly which skins you want.

This is time consuming as well, considering that to do so means not playing while downloading skins.

A better solution would be having some level of in game option as to the selection of skins to download. Perhaps a right-click menu option when clicking on a specific skin in the hangar.

Not sure about your internet speed, but it is much faster for me to download the skins manually on the website vs going through the auto skin downloader in-game.

It MIGHT take 10 min to download all skins and put them in the correct folder.

At one point there was an extension to FireFox called Downloadthemall or something, which...you guessed it...downloaded them all at once.

Thats fine, but at this time there is no place to download all the skins for AH3 except in the game one at a time.

The AH3 skins are now in the "downloads" page of the AH website.  Still one at a time, but much faster than the "auto download" and you can chose those that you want.
