Multiple in-game issues related to the skins release
« on: April 14, 2023, 05:24:17 PM »
Not sure why this is only happening in the SEA arenas, but the completely new skins have "invalid skin number" error popups when selecting them.
The updated skins display properly with the new version. All skins display properly in the MA.

Also, the "skins.res" file will occasionally delete itself when entering the SEA arena. So far this has happened every time I have entered the SEA first after launching the game. Entering the MA first seems to prevent the file from deleting. When the file does delete itself, the skins list is completely empty. Going to the hangar in the MA after relaunching the game might generate a new "skins.res" file when changing planes, but this has not happened every time I tested it. It may take a few attempts at restarting the game to get it to work.

I am experiencing the disappearing skins.res file in the MA right now.  All custom skins are gone.  Haven't been able to regenerate the skins.res file.

Yep, I've lost all my skins as well  :bhead  All I can see is the default skin for each aircraft. Downloaded the files again from HTC but no help.

I think its related to the skins.res file being missing from the skins folder.  I tried renaming an old copy I'd made, but that new one was deleted also when I went online.

I still have access to all skins offline.

Offline draws directly from the skins in the folder.

In the MA Hangar online, I see only the default skin.  However, when I launch a plane, it has the last skin I chose offline.    :headscratch:

I even tried the last pack and I still have none.
Back in 2022 after a loooooong break from 2010. Old name Ratpack, same for the BBS.

Squad I did the most tours with were the Excaliburs then The 172nd Rabid Dogs. Still trying to talk Illigaf, Coola, Oldman22, and Joecrow into coming back instead of being boring old farts!
