Title: Skin Descriptions
Post by: Saxman on August 19, 2008, 05:35:19 PM
Right now, in-game and on the download page the only information available on skins is the squadron information.

However many of the skins represent aircraft with a unique or particularly noteworthy history, either because of the aircraft's service, or even just its pilot.

Why not have a description of the skin itself, where the skinner can provide more detailed notes on the skinned aircraft's history. For example, that a given A6M was the favored ride of Sakai, or if I EVER get around to finishing F4U-1A Ol' 122 about how she was the only American combat aircraft to receive a commendation in her own right.

It'd be a nice little touch for people interested in more history of the skin they fly.

On the web side, this could easily be player implemented via AHWiki (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/wiki/index.php/Main_Page)

Similar...
I wish the default skin had a regular name (xxx FG by Greebo or whatever, instead of 'Default'). So then not only would I know what unit the aircraft was from but I wouldn't feel so unholy using the default skin :lol
