Well think there should be more than 15 slots. Lots of skins out there.

I wonder if there is a way HTC can keep track of the number of times a skin is used, e.g. is the skin selected available in the log file?   That way HTC could leave the really popular skins out of the rotation so they would always be available....

Why not have a "Skin Hanger" where all skins are listed. Then you select your top 5-10, whatever.

Or, have them all listed on HTC webpage and you can DL the ones you want.

Of course I would have no interest in a Spit14 skin, so make default skins available.

Oboe if anything have different skins for different terrains. Granted some skins may not have enough to fill multiple different terrain slots. Either way those who have enough can be cycled through depending on the terrain itself.

I think the biggest question is who is willing enough to download that many skins and if they aren't willing to do so will they only have the default skin available in the end?

Yeah I'm kind of surprised at the number of default P-38L skins I still see flying around.    I just assume the player hasn't received the new '38 skins yet - since I think the default skins are clearly lower quality - I think they are built to 256 bmp size, though not positive.   But they do seem to lack the detail I've seen on all the player-done custom skins.

Tying the skins to the the terrain would be nice, especially in the CT so we could avoid Euro FG skins when there is a Pacific terrain up...

Had to take your 14th FG 38G skin when I went up in the CT.  It's the only vs the Luftwaffe 38G in there so far.

Looks nice though :)
