It is good to have a skins update, but too bad that so many of them were left out. None of the P40 or Pzr IV skins made it in this batch. :cry
Hopefully soon!
-
Say what now?
They release a batch?
-
Yes, a batch was released today. It was a mix of new ones and ones from the overflow queue.
-
Hrm... I need to step up my catalog work before downloading these. :noid
Thanks for the heads-up, Loon, Skuzzy!

Gee, thanks...
You sure know how to make the last 2 hours of the day drag out...

You're welcome.

It seems that there was only one new skin for the 109G-2. Does this mean that there are no more skins in queue for the G-2?

Yes, the 109G2 is done.
Not all the overflow queue is in this update. Trying to catch up on the active queue and blend in overflow queue is a balancing act.

I gather that the skins d/l page has not been updated, yet?

Not to my knowledge as that has to be done manually and it takes a lot of time to get done.

Bummer.
Thanks :aok

so where do we go to get the new skins????
-
Right now they will auto-download in the game, if you have that option enabled.

Just an FYI, Skuzzy- the new skins download only went so far and then kicked off my auto downloader, it happened sometime after the F4U-1. Also, I've re-logged in three different times today (Thurs) and each time I had to re-download the skins (and re-check the auto download box, too). It never did get down as far as the new Fm2, KI-84, or Tiger skins.
EDIT: All of the skins finally down loaded last night about 7pm CST. I logged off and when I returned a good many of them did not stick. The Tiger and 109's most notably.

One of the new B-29 skins needs to be deleted.
It is the same aircraft from the same squadron & the only difference is the nose art is painted a different colour for the lettering on one side.
One needs to go.

That was meant to be an update, but the skinner did not include the skin reference number (or I did not see it anywhere in the body of the email), so it got added as a new skin. The correction will have to wait until the next batch is done.

I think DutchGuy has the same 109G14 from 9./JG300 in twice also. It's the same plane just a different treatment of the wing camo I think. Looks a lot like a submission meant to be an update that was processed as a new submit. This situation existed before yesterday's skin release.
I do think it may be unwise to rely entirely on skinners to supply the correct skin reference number. Players leave the game and come back, upgrade/change computers, email addresses, etc, and I can see how it would be easy to lose track of the reference numbers of skins you've submitted over the years.
Also, if a skinner wants to redo an existing skin which was done long ago by another player no longer in the game, is there a way to find out what the skin reference number of the skin is?
EDIT: The skins are D/L'ing ingame OK for me, but if I quit game and come back later, they start all over downloading from the first one again (109G6_16.res). Happened yesterday and again this morning.
There are some real beauties in the batch - love the Marine F4F-4. Haven't had a chance to check out the others much.
<S> to the skinners and to Skuzzy, thanks for the skins!
-
I'm not to the point of cataloging the new skins yet, but it would be cool if folks could create a list here of what they're seeing as the new ones. That way I'll have a good starting point.

There is definately a problem with this skins batch. Trying to figure it out. Stay tuned....
-
I wrote 'em down as they came across:
109g2_16
109g6_16
109g6_17
109g6_18
f4u1c_2
f4u1c_3
c202_7
f4u1_4
f4u4_2
f4f4_8
fm2_4
a6m2_1
ki84_16
f4u1a_12
b25c_12
B29_8
b29_9
b29_10
a6m3_2
a6m3_3
a6m3_4
a6m3_5
but I don't know who created what, or what skins these res files are, until after download page is updated
-
You, sir, are awesome!
Just knowing what slots were updated is most helpful. I can always cross-reference in the hangar after downloading to see what is what. I know ways to figure out which skin is in which slot when offline.

All fixed now.

One of the new Tiger I skins is the same as the default.

Yeap, that was my exact reason for coming back in to this thread. The 501 skin is showing the same as the default.

I gotta problem, I seem to be re-downloading every skin everytime i login, any idea?

Same problem exists after the fix Skuzzy.
Same B-29 from the same unit & slightly different paint colour on the nose art on the second plane.
One needs to go.

I cannot address duplicate skins until the next batch release. The fix concerned the repeated download of the same skins, over and over again.
Getting rid of a skin is not a trivial task.

Technically or because of squad usage?

Sorry I misunderstood what the fix entailed.
