Skins Update

[lyric1]

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

[Krusty]

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.
