Skjold Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Yes, +1. I would also love the ability for servers to host custom skins and you download them as a client upon connection for the first time (think Counter Strike map downloads). Right now, there is so many good skins out there but its basicly impossible to use them in multiplayer! :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speckfire Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 This was something very old somehow it lost it's way after FC2. I guess skin sizes became too big and caused lag? Speed is life !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skjold Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 This was something very old somehow it lost it's way after FC2. I guess skin sizes became too big and caused lag? Maybe at the time, a server should easily be able to upload skins to clients. There is a reason those type of downloads are very slow, to reserve most of the upload capacity to actual server stability. I can't imagine it being a problem with todays netcodes and internet infastructure. Well, maybe on servers that are hosted on poor connections but u could also have a system that lets you opt out of the system as an admin.

ebabil Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 we even can not select skind by seeing them. just name of it. how are we suppose to remember all of the skins by just looking their names? at least we should be able to see a 2d preview picture like thumbnail FC3 | UH-1 | Mi-8 | A-10C II | F/A-18 | Ka-50 III | F-14 | F-16 | AH-64 | Mi-24 | F-5 | F-15E| F-4| Tornado Persian Gulf | Nevada | Syria | NS-430 | Supercarrier // Wishlist: CH-53 | UH-60 Youtube MS FFB2 - TM Warthog - CH Pro Pedals - Trackir 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vectury Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Now there is a great idea! :thumbup: Also it would be nice if mission builders could add their own squadron skins, for all who join the server to see.

bart86pl Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Oh yes +111 - good idea. And we really need this skin preview, in editor and in game. [sIGPIC]http://forums.eagle.ru/signaturepics/sigpic73792_1.gif [/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilWillis Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 I was always of the understanding that you have an aircraft painted before you get into it. Never seen real pilots decide to go for a different paint job just before take off, so how is this really a feature we need? As it is, you can go to the mission editor when you start a mission and choose a skin prior to launching the mission. You can't change nationality however. My choice would be a way to view skins in some kind of preview screen where you can see the selected skin before committing to launching the mission, but getting the ground crew to run a spray gun over it while you sit on the apron is a little absurd!

pepin1234 Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 We can choose the weapons loadout but still not the skin. For my opion, is definately time to have this option also in DCS. I have the same idea time ago. I think change the skin for the same country designed by the mission creator is possible. I have another Idea. Change the flag and Air Force logo only for every aircraft skin The problem to have an extensive list of skin on all countries is a problem because every skin is big in Mb. So the best idea for every country is that all the skin be customized with flag and logo forces. Is like a Dream for a world wide simulation with every nation forces.
