Vraciu,

Was wondering why you didn’t have any this round. I’m looking forward to seeing them. Thanks for the work you do.

Vraciu,

Thank you, brother.  It is a lot of fun making them.

I've slowed down a bit on it.  Seems that nobody notices or likes the work any more which makes you wonder if there is any point to it now, so I started doing a lot of RC flying (and repair lol).   It's weird because I think the skins group does better than ever having learned how to work with this graphics engine.   Wish we knew back in the beginning of AH3 what we know now.

I was hoping to get this one in.   Must have missed the cutoff by only a couple of hours:

Thanks again for the kind words.  Maybe the bug will bite again.   :salute

Can confirm.

Updated skins require redownload and even then the old version is what is downloaded.

Maybe Greebo can approve mine and get it in before Hitech redoes the update.

I've PM'd Hitech about this as he may not have read this thread. Also I approved Vraciu's latest skin but I don't know if it will get included in any fix Hitech may apply.

Is the issue fixed now?

Just went and checked, all the updated and new skins are showing the default for me now, and they all almost instantaneously Download.

Confirmed. Skins are still broken. Now only showing the default.

Kind of weird, I use auto skin download and randomly get large batches of skins rather than 1 by 1 like it usually does.  Maybe that will help?

I just went online and found that most, but not all, of the skins redded-out and showing the default skin. Some skins were working OK but these were all older ones. I then realised I had not updated the online skins for a long time so I re-downloaded all of them from the AH Skins Site (https://bbs.hitechcreations.com/skins/index.php?skobj=f6f5). Skins now all seem to be working correctly online, with none showing redded-out on the various aircraft I checked. Perhaps those still having problems might try downloading some skins again to see if that fixes things.

Went online last night. Game DLed a batch....maybe 10 skins. I checked a bunch of different planes switching skins and such and all seemed fine on my machine.

From the responses I can not 100% be sure, but it looks like all is well?

No it's still broken.

Both new and updated skins are only showing the default skins now.

Do you happen to have auto download of skins disabled?
