Are you a member? If not, you dont get new skins.


Click the box in the hangar on your plane that says 'Auto Down-load skins in the background'

[Krusty]

You are free to download the skins from the website and you can see them offline.


you say "I have downloaded the skins in game" -- well have you downloaded ALL of them? They can take a LOOOOOONG time to fully download all of them. Perhaps the skin you are waiting for just isn't downloaded yet?

Go to the HTC website and under downloads you'll be able to pick and choose which skins you can get first. That might save you some time.

You can only use the skins you download if you pay your $14.95 a month.

[Krusty]

Er, no. You can download them and use them offline. In THAT case it's free.

EDIT: Just to clarify, you can't DOWNLOAD the skins in-game without a subscription.

However, if you go DOWNLOAD them one by one at the HTC download page, you don't need a subscription.

I PAY 14.95 PER MONTH is there another charge i need to pay?????? im already paying my subscription.....lol does that clarify anything??????

Yes it clarifies things, you can wait for them to download while you play, or download them from the downloads page, individually.

There is no extra charge.

you have them all in the skin folder or do you have them in folders for each plane named after the plane?

example:All F4U-1 skins are in folder name: f4u1
All F4U-1D skins are in folder name: f4u1d

i don't think you need the "-" in P-51D. I think it should be named "p51d" and the spit should be "spitxvi". might be wrong on the spit.

All the *.res files belong directly in the skins folder.  You will have to go online for a bit to get the "skins.res" file.  Remove that file from the "skins" folder.  Go online.  You will get a new "skins.res" folder which should allow you to access any of the skins you have installed in the "skins" folder.

Now, this only applies to the skins from our WEB site or via the auto-download in the game.

I am also assuming you are not using Vista as the operating system.  All the rules for where things are located change with Vista.
