Nothing is different in my minid from the last one I have just uploaded

There are illegal (non-ASCII) characters in the data. You will need to start the submission process over.

on a guess, seems has something to do with FONT used, maybe spaces when spaces are not allowed, something like that :headscratch:


im probably wrong but thats what came to mind.

Hornet, there are characters in one of your ASCII files which are outside the ASCII range for characters.

The two places this error will show up are with the "information" text you enter or the skin name.

If you did a copy and paste to the information input dialog, it is probably there.  Simply do the copy and paste it into "notepad", and save it, then copy that into the text input dialog.  That should get rid of any non-ASCII characters.

No tried that, error just coming up again and again. just doing it the same way that i sent the last skin.

he is what i am trying to put in

Enola Gay by HornetUK

I don’t think I really have to go in to the providence of Enola Gay as she is probably up there with the most famous aircraft of all time.

So I guess I need to put my argument for having her in the game even if the model is not strictly the same as in Aces High.

Yes, Enola had major modifications such as removing the defensive armaments bar the tail gun and even that was scaled back removing the cannon. But there are aircraft already in my opinion that have skins which are not total correct in the game, such as the RAF B17G skin. No G model in the RAF dropped bomb infact like the Enola Gay they were majority altered, removing some gun turrets and adding ECM equipment. So they were not really a bomber and they were never used as such. Also we have skins for the Mossi16 which are recon aircraft skins which would have also been modified aircraft.

Anyway I hope you will look favorable on my submission.

SG stands for composite group in the skin id

and here is it in the txt file below

maybe you can see what i am doing skuzzy?

Managed to get it sorted, just retread an abbreviated version of the above.

Skuzzy do have one more question. I know I am a pain but I am a dyslexic, I would like to be able to give you more proper and edited info to put on your new skins website as my info rather basic and is in the way I put. At the moment it is just enought give you what you need to makes a decision on the skin.
