Where to put skins installer
« on: April 17, 2018, 07:24:02 PM »
I just got to spend several hours installing, updating and cussing Windows.  Now I've got AH3 installed and tried to use the skins installer to install all skins but I keep getting a message saying "Cannot find a valid installation path to Aces High III. Please provide one."

So uh....how do I do that please?

Columbo, when I manually download, I put them into the skins folder, under the AcesHighIII folder.  Most of my skins autodownload to the same folder in the background through the game.  All that is needed for this to happen, I believe, is to make sure to check the "download skins" checkbox on the clipboard when you are in the hangar.  Hope this helps you!   :salute

Almost sounds like a wish I once made.

"Option to download all skins".

1. Not everyone wants to wait for the skin to come through the game.
2. Some folks wouldn't know where to look for them. (though I',m sure this will be pointed out.)
3. HiTech might want to step back and take a good look at this game from a newbie perspective.

You have to run the game once before the skins installer can find where the game is installed.
