"Increased the maximum number of skins per plane from 16 to 32."
Anybody else drop a jaw at that one?!?
EDIT: Also of note:
"Added the ability to label default skins. Default skins will always appear with an asterisk next to them."

I certainly did :rock

What does this mean in a practial sence? What is the purpuse?
-
That way you can label the default skin with the Group/Gruppe it flew for, in addition you can credit the original skinner if you are so inclined.
(least the way I read it)
-
So the default Bf109E4 will now say "JG45 by Guppy*" instead of "DEFAULT"
Made that up, I'd have to go check what it is and who actually did it, and the * denotes the default skin.

So people will know which unit the default skin is from. For example the P-40E, instead of saying "Default" next the skin, it will say "49FG/9FS" or something to that effect.

Wonder how long until all the P-51 slots are full again......
-
Maybe they already are?
:noid
EDIT: P.S. Instead of a mad rush to fill them all, I hope this instills a bit of thankfullness for what we have and makes people stop and think about the best use for those slots rather than multiples of similar markings. Otherwise it'll just be the same whines but "Why do we only get 32 slots?!" instead....

I wonder what happens to skins currently waiting to be rotated in?
-
I don't know if anyone else is interested, but I am very much interested in doing the AVG flying tigers, I don't want to step on any of your toes so I am throwing it out there.
sorry Krusty don't mean to hijack your thread...should I start a new one?

There's a stickied thread above here where you can post which skins you're planning on doing. I don't think anyone's mentioned anything about P-40B skins yet, so you probably have first stab at whatever you'd like.

I for one hope to eventually see at least one skin fro each AVG squadron.

Well, you and Krusty make good points here. IMO, we should all be vigilant about making sure that only the best skins get accepted to fill the extra slots. That may mean we need to lobby for some sort of community approval, which may or may not work. Regardless, nice move by HTC to free some stuff up. May have to dust off Fiery Ginger now...

I'm thinking all those in the queue will fill the ponies up again. Weren't there something like 3x as many in the queue as in-game?
Ink: The AVG was a large group spanning a lot of different airframes. They had different markings for the different wings. Also note the default skin is already an AVG skin. So you will need to get very specific when you say you want to do "an AVG skin".
I don't think it'll hurt. The demand for a P-40B skin is much less than (say) a P-51D skin. They won't fill up as fast.
It should go in another thread probably dedicated to that skin though.

I have them. They will all be re-reviewed again.

That was on my mind, also...
I have them. They will all be re-reviewed again.
To what end? To see if they are still acceptable? Has someone modified them?
Pardon my ignorance.
-
We need to look at them again as it has been a very long time since many of them were looked at.

Does this include skins that have already been approved and have had acceptance emails sent to the skinner?
What would be different with them?
What about them would make them now, UN-acceptable?
Again, I beg your pardon.

In the time it takes to rotate one skin, I can insert 10 new skins. It is just not practical. We also have a severe problem with trying to remove a skin, as there is almost always some squad using a skin and they get pissed off when thier skin disappears.

Any overflow skins have been kept in the queue. If a skinner has a skin reference number, then the skin is here.
As to the rest, you are asking questions I cannot answer until we actually look at the skins.

anyway.. amazing work so far dude!! hope you're not overworked! :salute

Will certain non-combat skins be removed that are already in-game, also during this review?
-
I just want to say I'm very pleased they upped the Skin numbers. Thank you HTC. :banana:

Amen!
I just figured that it meant the overflow skins were going to get tossed into those slots.
I know that the approval process is fairly lengthy, even when they are not up to their ears in update work... :noid
