The P51D will be maxed out after this release (15 custom + 1 default).  No more slots.

We actually had pick two of the skin submissions for the P51D to not release as we are two over.  Tough call as all the skins looked really great.

Skuzzy, what did you do with the old p51d skins? Seems there were far more than 15 of them. Correct me if I'm wrong, but does HTC rotate the skins (swapping some in, some out) over time, if you have more than 15?

Got three in-
RCAF P-51D "Edmonton Special", RAAF P-51B (camo with blue rudder), and Brazilian P47.
Thought we'd see them today along with the map reset.

I do rotate the overflow of skins, but it is not timely.  Skins based on models which get updated are removed, as they will not fit the new model.  For instance, with this next release, all the current 109 and Spitfire skins will be removed from the game.

The game will only support 16 total skins, per plane/vehicle, at any given time.

And one of those 16 is the default skin, IIRC.

Sorry to hear about LOU IV not making it, and now the 51D slots are all occupied...

yeah I figured that would happen.

I was tempted to submit LOUIV without complete final details because it looks really good as is but I held on to it to finish it.

oh well 2 out of 3 aint bad. :D

I'm sure it'll be good enough to bump one of the existing P-51D skins, but it may mean it'll take even longer to get in the game.

One the plus side, we may learn a little about HTC's decision making process regarding which skins get bumped.   Will it be strictly a quality issue, or do they take into account factors like FG coverage, and spreading the skins among different skinners?

Maybe you should submit what you have now, and update with final details later?

Skuzzy,

Excellent news about the skins, I am so darn anxious to fly some of the new P-51s.

One of the great things about this game is the ability to have different aircraft markings based upon personal choice.

I assume, please correct me if I am wrong, that the 15 skins + default limits are based upon a maximum number of different skins that the player's computer memory can handle and or the front end can handle.

Having said that, there are obviously some planes which will never need the 15 spots reserved for them (163, 262, C47, KI84, etc).
Does the game's architecture allow for these potentially unused slots to be allocated to other planes, such as the P-51s, FW190s, Spits etc ?

Just curious.

Cheers
Fencer

The limit per plane/vehicle/boat is fixed at 16 total skins each.  No robbing Peter to pay Paul.

Skuzzy,

Is there anything in the log file about which skin is selected for flight?   Just wondering, can you guys tell which are the really popular skins for an a/c and which ones rarely see use?

That would be a very interesting statistic to see. However, I must admit that when I was flying a little today I did not check which skin I was using half the time.

What did Lady Doris look like?    People used to upload their skin submissions to ah-skins.com, and that was a convenient place to see all the skins for a particular a/c that had been submitted.

Now its kinda confusing though - lots of the skins there are obsolete due to model changes.
