Title: Skin names
Post by: Pigslilspaz on September 26, 2011, 03:21:51 PM: I really do like how the skins are listed by squadron/group/etc, but I was also wondering if also included could be the plane's nickname if it has one.

For example, the P-47D-40 skin 358FG/366FS by Raptor01 would be 358FG/366FS by Raptor01 "Tarheel Hal" It would be a nice touch in my opinion, and would reduce the amount of time spent searching for a particular skin.

If the plane didn't have a name, then it would stay the same.

Might be interesting, but overall I'd rather not. IMO.

EDIT: It's also very ameican-centric. It only really applies to US P-series aircraft, for the most part. Or b-17/24/25s

Post by: Greebo on October 23, 2011, 04:46:59 AM: A while ago there was a suggestion made on the BBS of setting up a skins page on the AH Wiki site. Skinners (or other players) could upload a screenshot and write a brief history of each skin (what unit, pilot, where it fought etc.) together with a link to the AH site download. It just needs someone with the time and knowledge to set the page up.
