Need opinions: skin preview pic size/quality debate

[Krusty]

FTJR: No worries at all and I understand. Will try to get it all sorted out eventually. If it's not corrected once I go back over and add the new stuff remind me.

(note the panzers and panther just have defaults for now... too many changes since my last skin download, none of the descriptions match, I have to revisit them and update after I get the latest updates)

EDIT: Just as an FYI that's 27 planes/GVs added this weekend alone. Over 700 screenshots total so far, and as many thumbnails, and 91 different menu options (planes, GVs, boat, etc) total so far.

[Krusty]

Got the screenshots for spit5, spit9, spit8, t341945, t3485, ta152, tbm3, tempest, typhoon, yak9u and yak9t all done, and partially cropped. Will be putting those out pretty quick in the next couple days, and then working on the new stuff as soon as I download it all.

That should be EVERY plane/GV in the game accounted for with the exception of the Storch and Me410.

If you see any broken links let me know. I will now need to update Aces High to get the latest skins and update then will go through again and add the new stuff.

[Devil 505]

Excellent work Krusty. 

[Krusty]

Holy cow... Just did a properties browse of the website files on my HDD: 1,756 files total, just shy of 60MB 


Whew! Now the upkeep should be much easier.

[Kazan_HB]

That's exactly what players need here.
Thank you
 

[Krusty]

FYI: The update wasn't all that big... over a dozen new skins, but not 2 dozen (rough estimate). I've got my hand-written list and will go around skin by skin to update them. After that point, please notify me of any mistakes/errors/typos, as it should be 100% done. As for names, I am going off of what is listed on the skins download page.

[FTJR]

I also have a 492BG Mossie XVI in the game, difference between mine and Greebo's is mine is black underside, no  invasion stripes and Q is the code letter.

Funny thing, the old skins download page had that as the _8 slot and credited to cactus. I even have it printed out! Must have been corrected, and I'll update it to reflect your name.

That is your skin, though. I can see the black in the screenshot.

I can see Cactus on the hotline to get it changed out. lol.

Thanks for your work on this, Krusty.  

If I understand correctly, you will be showing a static image?  If so, I hope you are going to avoid the "fisheye lens" effect.  Best way to do this is capture the skin viewed with "zoom" toggled on.  

MH

<EDIT:  Well they look reasonably un-distorted, so I assume you are using this technique...>

[Krusty]

It's a standard distance (default) with the zoom adjusted to fill the screen with the proper amount of pixels. I wanted to get it large enough to appreciate each skin (at least "begin to appreciate" them).

[FLOTSOM]

once you are completely updated will there be a way to do a mass download of all skins in one folder to put into my AH folder so i dont have to wait for them to DL in game or do a line item DL from the AH home page?

i dont know how much effort that would take to create so i am not sure if it is something that is or isnt a reasonable thing to ask about......but either way thanx for the work you have done so far, i am enjoying looking at all ur purdy pic's! great page!
