Never realized the use of various skin would effect the game so much.
Here's the complete overview on the skins avaliable, at AH-Skins Overview (http://www.ah-skins.com/index.php?site=res.php&p=1) .
Wtg skinners, wtg lucull!
-
Just had a short amount of time to check out some of the skins last night, and I'm at my work comp now, but what I've seen so far is just fantastic. Kweassa, I immediately started using the D9 skin you made. Great work!
-
Pretty freakin sweet! Hopefully someone will make a p38 skin soon! Maybe ill do it. :eek: Itll be grassy green on the top and sky blue on the bottom.
-
amen to that
-
Nice job.
One mistake "Spitfire MK IX "417/RAAF" by DsrtRat"
If it is No. 417 Sqn, then it is RCAF

It is cool, no doubt about it. But I have to think its mostly psychological, because I haven't really been able to ID any different skins on opposing planes yet. Even if they are on my own team I only get a fleeting glimpse of the skin.
How about enabling External View for ALL planes (incl fighters) as long as you are on the ground? I'd love to be able to do walk-arounds of all the new skins. Going offline and looking at them just ain't the same - it would be much better to allow this when online. And the hangar external view doesn't allow you to move your viewpoint around the plane.
AFAIK it would be more realistic too, weren't pilots in the habit of performing walkarounds as part of the preflight inspection?
I really can't think of any drawbacks to this idea - no unfair advantage is gained if you are on the ground.
-
Ok so how do I use that sweet 109F in the Afrika colors?
-
Congratulations to all the skinners on the latest batch , some awesome work in there.
Personal thanks to Greebo for the "blue planes" , Machnix for the RAAF P51 and Dsrtrat for the RAAF Spit V.

Hey Redd....check out Oboe's VF-27 Kitty.......SOOOOOWWWEEEETTTT TTT :):D
-

-

In fact, there's A LOT of good skins there that need to be published to the MA.

read the 1st post for the link.

I did - there's a lot of great skins that aren't enabled - 14 variations of P51 are pretty boring when there are only minor changes in skin.
-
All skins in this overview (http://www.ah-skins.com/index.php?site=res.php&p=1) are available custom skins. Of course they have to download with the auto update first. ;)

Have it now, it's my new default hellkitty skin. Nice work oboe :)
-
Thanks Redd, owe it all to Greebo, who created the outstanding template for the F6F.
I see ALF did a VF-27 skin, too. Nice looking skin for those who want to fly a shinier, newer-looking bird.
BTW, thanks Machnix for the sweet 354th FG Mustang skin!

Yes I this is a favorite of mine as well, the way it looks from the inside looking out is very good.

Great job on all the skins!!!

Now people can have a database with all the skins that exists and then when they want to do a Scenario they can go there and see whats available allready...

Heheh, and to think that his uncle was a Squadron Leader for them during WW2. ;)

BIG SALUTE TO ALL THE SKINNERS! LOVE THEM ALL LOL.
I agree it adds a certain spark to the game, having a bad day? fly a plane you're not used to flying and admire the artwork. It really adds something to the immersion in game.
-
I immediately fell in love. ANY new skin is a good skin. Feels like a new aircraft :) Kweassa's Marseille 109F4 is beeyooteefull. Greebo's VMF-351 F4U1D is my fav dhog skin. I refuse to fly the Chog until it gets it's skin :D
I have also gained motivation to finish my P40s :D
-
If each plane had as many skins as the P-51D... That would be the shiznit.
-
I think the limit is, what, 15 skins per plane?
Once the D-stang hits that limit, people'll be forced to do skins on the better planes :D
-
Certainly is a Big Boost to the Moral of AH.
-
damn shame they can't be used in hth
-
I don't go caps often, but here it is:
IT CAN'T BE USED IN H2H??
THERE'S NO WARHAWK SKIN WITH THE BADASS SHARK MOUTH!?!?!

No people can still submit p51 skins and HTC will make a descision whether to replace one of the current skins or maybe extend the 15 plane limit.
Every one knew from the start that the p51D would be the most "skinned" plane. With relatively minor adjustments you can do any number of schemes. The trick is to get a decent template done.
Its up to HTC to judge quality and redundancy. However, I would suggest that any new skinner try and select a plane other then the most popular.
I suspect that since the p51D is filling up fast that you would need a truly outstanding skin to replace one of the current skins.

love the green tiger skin to bad i cant ever take one out.
-
Looking forward to seeing some more of these skins in the MA.
Maybe some day in H2H as well?
-
Anyway to d/l the MA enabled skins other than in game?

Wotan - When Skuzzy was on few days ago he said there would be no more Pony skins :)
Fruda - We're working on fillng other skins. Myself I am concentrating on Brit stuff.
Thrawn - The skin descriptions were changed by HTC, maybe just a typo?
Tronski - Not at this time.
