badger66 Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 Right , slowly but surely , people are releasing their own skins kindly enough ..... If I download & install their skins , will they show up in other peoples online MP games for me to see ? And if they are installed in the server game , all who have the skin installed in their game will see it , am I correct in this assumption please ? Otherwise , I dont see the point in installing them , as I dont fly much offline . Thanks in advance :smilewink:
ENO Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 No authority on it by I have asked the same question and was told everyone needs to download the skin for it to be visible on the server...

VH-Rock Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 Client and server must have the skin for it to be visible. Virtual Horsemen - Right Wing (P-51) - 2008... Virtual Ultimate Fighters - Lead (P-47) - 2020...
badger66 Posted November 22, 2012 Author Posted November 22, 2012 Understood ..... but if I have the skin in my installation , can I see it online or not , just me ?
VH-Rock Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 If you and the host have the skin, you will see it. If you have and the host hasn't - you wont. If you don't have a skin that has been assigned to an aircraft, but the host does - he still wont see you in a skin. Both parties require the skin for it to be visible online. Even if you and the host have all the skins - if a 3rd person join and flies an aircraft with a skin applied to it that he doesn't have, neither of you will see the skin.

badger66 Posted November 22, 2012 Author Posted November 22, 2012 Thank you :) So , basically there is no point in installing skins , unless you want to fly offline then ?
speckfire Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 Thank you :) So , basically there is no point in installing skins , unless you want to fly offline then ? Not necessarily. If you install a skin to replace an existing skin that you don't like then even if you play multiplayer you will see that skin on other players regardless if they have it or not. It must be available in the mission though. Also if you decide that you will not replace and existing skin and merely add it and create a multiplayer mission with a skin of your choice, you'll see that skin in the game if you host but other players will default to the 1st available skin on the list, except for the ka-50 which will show orange (It's a bug that needs to be corrected) Speed is life !!!
Skitter Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 The skin doesn't have to be on the server...and as far as I know, only you have to have the skin installed.
Double_D Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 (edited) The skin doesn't have to be on the server...and as far as I know, only you have to have the skin installed. Sorry, if you have a specific skin others must have it also to see or they will see only stock skins.... If you host and as " Rock " had mentioned..if you assign a skin to an aircraft only the host will see it..not the person flying the aircraft(if they don't have the assigned skin) Edited November 22, 2012 by Double_D [TABLE][/url][sIGPIC]http://forums.eagle.ru/signaturepics/sigpic89949_15.gif[/sIGPIC][/Table] Recruiting for Aerobatic Team/Fighter Group...

ajax Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 Sorry, if you have a specific skin others must have it also to see or they will see only stock skins.... Right. Unless you're talking about the Ka-50, in which case you will see the dreaded orange-grid skin. It seems all the other aircraft will default to a stock skin.
Skitter Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 Sorry, if you have a specific skin others must have it also to see or they will see only stock skins.... Agree. But when you look outside of the cockpit you will see the skin on your airplane and all other planes using the skin. That's what I wanted to say.
Double_D Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 Agree. But when you look outside of the cockpit you will see the skin on your airplane and all other planes using the skin. That's what I wanted to say. ???? Confused on you statement... Don't really understand what you mean..or I am not seeing your meaning... No...if you are the only one using the skin others will only see stock skin on your plane..but you will see the new skin you have...no one else will they see stock skins...:music_whistling: [TABLE][/url][sIGPIC]http://forums.eagle.ru/signaturepics/sigpic89949_15.gif[/sIGPIC][/Table] Recruiting for Aerobatic Team/Fighter Group...
