Title: AH2 skins maintenance questions
Post by: TDeacon on June 20, 2004, 03:37:19 PM

Various skin questions:

1)  On at least some aircraft, the clipboard is visible through certains parts of the skin.  On the P-51d, for example, it is visible through the right-rear quarter (90 degrees through 180 degrees).  

QUESTION:  Is this a known AH2 bug?  

2)  I have obtained skins from the site "http://ah-skins.com".  The yellow menu bar for this site is positioned about 2 inches down from the top, and obstructs the view of material underneath it, including descriptive text, links, etc.  I am using MS Internet Explorer on a Windows XP Pro system, and am pretty up-to-date on my software upgrades.  

QUESTION:  Is this website display anomaly a known bug?  

3)  The skin installation instructions specify that the downloaded files must be placed in user-created directories named per "p51d1", "spit93", etc., under the "skins" directory.

QUESTION:  The "skins" directory already contains .res files which appear to use the same naming convention; is conflict possible here?  For example, my game installation came with p51d1.res -> p51d10.res files; does that mean that I must create my first p51d directory using the name p51d11?  

QUESTION:  If conflict is possible, how does one determine that a downloaded skin from the website isn't already in the game via a .res file?  I assume that the limit of 15 still applies?

The ah-skins.com site is a player run site and not run by HTC.

Thanks for the reply.  However if that is the case, where can I get information on HTC's plans for implementing the multiple-skins idea?  That website is the only thing I've found.

An answer to last question would be appreciated.

When you connect to the Main Arena (for example), Aces High II will automatically download the skins that have been approved by HTC.  It can take a while as the download of skins is a low priority so as not to interfere with gameplay.

To question #2:

You are most probably using an ad blocker like webwasher. Please disable it or remove image size 951x152 pixel from the black list. That will work. :)
