Do I understand correctly that you all make a custom skin for each and every plane in the game?

That is a LOT of design work for everyone!

I have all the skins for the F4U, F6F, and SBD's in one file with the proper heierarchy posted here. If we're going to use all the custom skins, I highly recommend just pointing people to this 20MB download: http://www.businessfist.com/fi/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; We ...

kick ASS. I just packed all of the FI defaults AND personalized skins for the three F4U's, the two F6F's and the 2 SPD's with the correct IL-2 folder structure into 20MB. Unpacked, this is >300MB. Those who once doubted the power of 7-zip, please kneel. I tested them in IL2 and I can see them all no...

Sorry man, that link isn't for me yet ;) I'm pretty sure I have them in the right place though, since I can see the FI skins on all the planes I added them to. -edit- NOW I see the issue. Not only do you have default FI skins, but you all have your own personal skins too! Sorry it took me so long to...

I'm all for that. I've been testing my skin pack, and it seems to work, the only question being "are they all there"? I think if the server just turns off the skin downloading, our sideways-flying problems will be solved. We'll probably still be able to see the skins anyway (those that hav...

Okay. I took a stab and assumed you just make a copy of each skin and put it in each of the relevant folders. Could one of you higher-ups take a look at this archive and tell me if I have my folder structure right, and all the necessary skins? If not, let me know what's wrong so I can update it. If ...

Folks! As you also experienced in yesterday´s sessin the lags we had were huge. Therefore I ask you to download all necessary skins (F4U, F6F and SBD5) for the rest of the Pearl to Japan campaign in order to avoid lags by skin downloads. Ty for your attention! For a smoother and better gameplay!!! ...

IL-2 TECHIES: If the server disables skin download, but all the clients already *have* all the custom skins, will everyone be able to see the custom skins? If so (and I would be surprised if it can't be configured in this way, as every other game is), I propose we run the server in this fashion. If ...

http://www.nerb.ca/fi_skins/ under FIS default RAF VVS USAF yeah, ya gotta d'l'em oooooonnnnne at a time. It's kinna a Tai Chi/zen exercise in patience and enlightenment. F PS: When the second phase of the project is done we may streamline it a wee bit ... and thanks for the space offer. We may nee...

Yo. Can we disable skins on the client side so if we're missing one we don't slow everyone down?

I'm still confused about which skins to download. Is there a zipped up "all in one" package?

If there is, and it's less than 100MB, I'd be happy to host it on my website for you all. The confusion involved may discourage new pilots, methinks.

DOH! We used 4.071!

Just show up and they'll accommodate, or show you how to work it.

My stomach has a tequila nastiness filter. All the goodness of tequila goes through my system, and somehow the nastiness gets strained at the bottom of my esophagus for vurping purposes.

Alas. If only science understood this strainer, we could make the best tequila in the world.

Tomatin, eh? I'll consult my scotch expert Isaac. You remember Isaac. He's the Irish guy I know, and the reason I managed to get into this crazy fray.

I'll have to do some field work on it myself too

Thanks everyone! Had a good time, even the 1st and 3rd runs, where I stupided my plane into various surprising things...like, other planes...or the the EARTH.
