Skin Packs by Artist
« on: April 05, 2010, 01:33:00 AM »
Title pretty much sums it up but, I don't know how hard this would be. I was wondering if there could be a package download for each artist. This way if you like someones work you don't have to go and download them one by one.

I know some people upload their skins to their own websites.
I know Krusty has a site, if you want to take a look at that (http://www.nakatomitower.com/skins/).

Mine is only really a showcase. It needs updating, as well. I leave the downloading up to in-game or HTC's web link here:

I think lumping by artist is a bit elitist. Maybe that's too harsh a description but I can't think of a better word at the moment. I know, I know, you just want to get all of "artist X" but they list the names on the download page I linked above. You can also download these through the AH skins catalog which has screenshots and links to the HTC downloads for each.

IMO takes a bit of the focus from the nice looking skins and places the emphasis on the name attached to the skin. Some folks skin better on a certain type of plane vs another, also. Might like their US planes but not their Japanese for example. Everybody has their areas of expertise.



In general response, though, I would say it's not going to happen. After the headaches with the previous downloads, leftovers as skins are redone, remodeled, swapped out, I don't see HTC making downloadable "packs" regardless of what you put in them. They seem to have gone a la cart as far as skins downloading due to the system performance hit you can receive when running with all skins in-game.
