Title: Skins in bulk?
Post by: brucerer on February 20, 2008, 11:38:16 PM

Hey is there a way to download all the current aircraft skins in bulk? i found some installer which gave me a whole bunch but there are still loads missing from the drop down lists...

I have them downloading in-game but im impatient ;)

No way to download them in bulk, but if you want to speed up the process you can click on the "Downloads" link at the top of the page just under the Aces High banner, then click on "Skins", there you'll find all the skins and you can download them one at a time until you have them all, they actually download fast so it wouldn't take you more then i'd say 10min to do them all.

You use FireFox? If not, start using it. You'll be happier in the long run. :D

Look for a plugin called DownThemAll. You can then go to the skins download page and tell it to download all linked .res files to the skins folder.

Or just enable in-game skins download and ignore them for a week. Log in while you're at work or something.

Ah, i knew they were on the d/l page but i figured any time spent clicking links and saving files could be spent flying...

Thanks for the firefox tip, i'll check it out.

Yeah the easy solution is the one Krusty suggested.  

Downloading them 1 at a time actually doesn't take long, like I said about 10min.

All 524 skins are only 301MB. If I wasnt on dialup I would upload them to my site, but I dont know why anyone else hasent made a skin pack yet.

I just enable download skins in background and after a few days I've got them all. :aok
