With this batch of updated skins we seem to still have the same issue of multiple listings of the same aircraft.
-
There are 3 duplicate P-47D11 skins. It is fixed for the next batch. Other than that, I am not aware of any other duplicates. Names may be duplicated, but the skins can be different, for some planes.
-
P-38J has a duplicate. 479FG/435FS by Oboe. Both the same skin.
-
Is this related to the fact that for many planes/GVs I still see the old skin names, even though they aren't available any more? Would be nice to have those no longer supported automatically removed from the hanger list.

All of these duplicates are due to us clearing out the overflow queues. Most all of them are due to skinners submitting them multiple times, without a skin reference number. The P47D11 skins were just an error on my part. The P38 error had to do with rotating skins. That just caused a mess.

Online, no skin will show up in the list that is not valid. The reason a skin shows up in red is due to it not being installed on your computer. There is a brief period of time when you have not picked up the "skins.res" file from the online server where all skins may show up in the list, even the invalid ones, but that should be a short time as the "skins.res" file is a high priority download.

Mosquito XVI All of FTJR'S have been duplicated.
A6M3 Model 32 204TH NFG by Busa01 is a duplicate.
B-29 444TH BG/676/BS By T2maw is the same plane.
109 G-14 91/JG300 By Dutchguy is a duplicate.
So far that is all I have noticed other than those already mentioned.
-
Good job lyric. Ya beat me to it. Was just going to post the same.
-
Ok, all the dupes should be gone now. The B29 skins you mentioned were not dupes, but different plane numbers within the same bomber group, but different squadrons. We looked at it and if the skins become full for the B29, one of them could go.
Thanks for the help!
-
Thank you, Skuzzy! :aok

Busa01 with the a6m3 is still there on the 204TH NG.

I just verified all 7 skins in the A6M3 lineup and there is only one 204th NG.
I verified it is not on the WEB page downloads as well.
I also verified it in the game as well.
If you are showing two 204th, online, not offline, then you have not gotten the latest "skins.res" file.
If you see 8 skins in the hangar list, that also means you do not have the latest "skins.res" file.

That is strange I did get all of this batch of skins & I did see the list to load on the A6M3 it did update & I still show two though on the A6M3 & no skins left to load any place on the roster? I logged in on Mid war & training arena & also booted PC just to make sure there was no issue there. :headscratch:

I removed my local "skins.res" file and went online. Waited a bit for the new skins.res file, then went to the hangar and here what I got.

You should not have had to delete anything. Weird.

Well it just got weirder. :noid

Deleted #6 skin as this seems to be the issue & let it reload again by it's self.
It loaded when I tried to view it I was back with 2x204TH skins?

It does not make any sense. The list of skin names, in the hangar, comes from the "skins.res" file and not the actual skin. I'll dig further into this. I still have one more batch of skins to release.

With the last 2 skin releases about half of the P40E american skins when you look at them in the convergence app are all the Bob's Robin skin.
-
Found a duplicate 109g6 skin and a TA-152H skin.
None of the P40E's appear to be duplicated.
-
Turns out all P40E american skins were Bob's Robin. Deleted all 15 res files and rerunning auto download.
-
Now only 6 P40E skins.

When you have old skin.res files from before a graphics update, they remain even after that plane is remodeled. You will only see their names in the offline skins list. Only the new correct-shape skins show up in the servers. When you choose any of them they should default to the "default" skin because they cannot be displayed. In this case, "Bob's Robin" is the default P-40E skin we have.
So you just had old skin files filling your offline skins list, that's all.
Skuzzy: You missed one B-29 duplicate. It's not the same unit with different planes, but rather looks like the skin was updated and instead of replacing itself added a second.
The first with this name is: b29_4
(http://www.nakatomitower.com/ahskins/images/screenshots/b29_4.jpg)
The second with this name is b29_10
(http://www.nakatomitower.com/ahskins/images/screenshots/b29_10.jpg)
Note that the plane codes and nose art are the same except the noseart is in a different color. This is why I suspect it was a resubmission rather than a new addition.
The solution would be take 10 and put it in the 4 slot to update that one.
-
Thanks Krusty. I was just going to say that I already wrote to Skuzzy that my correction of that B-29 got put in as a added plane instead of a replacement. I was told it was going to be taken out at the next opportunity. To be honest it was my fault because I forgot to include the # with my upload. So it got taken as an addition. In fact I have a strange plane # in my list of planes that doesn't match my emails and am assuming it's that. The second one (gold lettering) is the newest one. The new setup for skinners should hopefully fix this for the future.
