Skuzzy or whom it may concern,

Looks very nice. :aok  Now we have a good list to see what skins have been done, or not, for that matter.

But, could the new skins links be colored differently from now on.

Maybe color coded for the date the batch was made. So the players don't have to hunt down the new ones from the list.

Or have the date added in parenthsis.

Well, the skins are added sequentially. So 109E41 came before 109E42, which came before 109E43, etc... So if you see 8 skins, and only 1 is new, chances are it's "109E48" (no new 109Es this time, just using it as an example)

You forget the fact that it doesnt say E41 2 3 in the game. It would be nice to have THOSE color coded as well, so i dont have to go through every single skin on every single aircraft all over again to find the new ones...

Fixed gatt.  The original submissions incorrectly capitalized the name of the plane in the infor file.

If anyone notices anything missing, plpease let me know.  The HTML file is generated by a program I wrote.  It was the onkly way to get this done in a timely manner.

In game it will say the name of the skin. On the DL webpage it also has the name. So if you say "Hrm... 2/JG3? Sounds interesting" you just go to the webpage and DL whichever e41-e48 is next to the label "2/JG3".

That way relies more on the name than on the number. The numbers are only if you're looking for the most recent.

Well, ive downloaded them all. But when im in the hangar looking for a cool skin, the Emil for example, there are literally dozens of skins, and the only to see which are new, and which ive seen is either to take the time ang go through every single one, or log off completely and check the website. So maybe an in-game color-coding... Nothing important, just makes life that one little bit easier! :D

There is a maximum of 16 skins per plane.  15 custom plus the default.

If you want an easy way to check them out, then install the skin viewer and flip through them.

The skin viewer doesnt seem to work. It doesnt read any cutom skins, and crashes my computer a lot.

Skuzzy, did you change the skin viewer to allow viewing of skins now???  

I'm at work (cannot check this) but in the past it has never done this!
