Munchkin, it is easier to go to here: http://www.hitechcreations.com/Flight-Sim/World-War-Two-Planes/downloads-skins-art.html to pick your skin, place it here: default location C:\HiTech Creations\Aces High\skins.  It takes about five seconds per skin.

If you are having trouble downloading from that page you need to go here: http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/board,13.0.html or an email to here:  support@hitechcreations

What is so difficult about that?

not saying its difficult per-say, just that my way would make alot of that stuff not needed.

the game can allready download skins in-game while your playing.

just give the player the ability to choose a skin to be downloaded at that time in-game by double clicking on said skin.

takes about 5 secs too, can be done ingame.dont need to go through your computer to place files and you can play the game while you wait for the skin to download.
it would save hitech a bunch of headache causing emails about how to download specific skins, because now you can just simply do it in-game!
not everyone is a 40 yr old computer wiz 5point. your view is based off what YOU can do, not what EVERYONE is capable of doing.

my way especially would help the people that arent that "Tech savvy" (such as myself sometimes).
but hey, go ahead and keep trying to stealth bash me by bashing my topic. because your so good at it....  :rolleyes:

I'm actually only 30, nice guess though.

Unfortunately it will take more than 5 sec your way.  You see HTC will have to add in game coad to allow you to select individual skins during actual game play. But HTC has been kind enough to let you do it by yourself, and even has instructions. Also by using the tech support forum it allows other who may be tech smart to help the non tech smart.


There is no bashing. I even offered to help you find the right folders or skins.  Short of making you a disc to load in PC, which I'd do as well (although it will take more than 5 sec via US Mail).

For the future, as Fugitive said, make a backup disc of your files. Here's how: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/project-help/copy-files-to-a-cd-HA001126699.aspx?redir=0

i knew about the page, i stated like twice allready that i'd tried downloading from there. and who will it take more than 5 secs to download? hitech? so? spending a couple days to coed this to save himself a couple years of headaches replying to the same skin questions.
nothing youve stated sounds easier than simply choosing what skin to download first ingame.

you have creating a disk.

downloading from the website than adding into a folder etc.
backing up....

when all im asking is to be able to choose which skin to download first ingame by clicking it. then boom. done. downloaded. no going to the website. no getting disks and messing with them. none of that. just click the skin name. it downloads ingame. and there ya go. all done.

If you create a backup disc it does more than just save skins, it save views, maps, clipboard configuration and stick settings (including scaling).  This way if you ever have to reinstall AH you have all of your settings.  Forgive me for trying to help you out for the future.

My thoughts are if you are capable of downloading and installing AH, then you should be more than capable of downloading a few skins.

And what everyone is trying to tell you is that you can already essentially do what you want, just not in game.

I see in game downloading of skins as how it is described in the check box, "download in the background".

If you need instant gratification, make the minuscule effort to get the skin you want yourself.

For those computer illiterate, the skins download automagically now.

Keep berating those trying to help you. You will go far.

WAIT, Me has great idea!


You could get off your lazy bellybutton and go ingame and check the Auto download box below the plane list in hangar.

I give this a complete -50 and say spend some time in-game and pay attention, and stop running to the forum everytime you don't know something.



P.S. Tyrannis use country chat THOSE PEOPLE ARE willing to help you.
