Skins dispearing.
« on: August 28, 2020, 11:55:18 AM »
There was an issue with the skin building causing incorrect version mismatching in skins.This occurred in the skin builder when I expanded to 64 skins. It didn't show up until this skin batch and was causing issues. It has been fixed and new skins.res file has been uploaded so all should now be correct.

I still have lots of missing skins.   For example, I have only 3 B-17G custom skins available, the rest are red text.   I have only 1 custom P-38L skin available, the rest are red.   About 1/2 of the P-38J skins are in red text.   This is online, not offline. 

My skins.res file is date stamped 8/28/2020 10:37am

I've logged and restarted the game, and also rebooted my PC and restarted game.   

Also every time I login it seems to resume downloading P-51D_38.res, even though I think I been online long enough to get whole file.

Have you done this since my post? And have you complete left the game?

Yes - I did it after your post, with the intention of 'confirming' the fix.

Now, Version 3.05 Patch 13 just downloaded and installed, and I went online to check things but still have the same problem with skins.  Online and Offline both.

I took one additional step and everything is fine.

I redownloaded all the skins:

Thanks Arlo.

I had the (2) full skin install exe's from back in June when I came back to AH, so I ran those, then deleted the skins.res file and went online to get a new one.  Skins working OK now; the only ones I don't have are skins that were released after 10 Jun 2020 which I haven't downloaded manually.  They'll get downloaded by the game OK I expect.

Glad it's working. There's an event tomorrow that I want to be historically accurate (looking) for.

BTW, I didn't have to unload or delete, I just reloaded over.  :)

Come fly a P-38 tonight in Fortress Europe. <S>
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!
