seikdel Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 Title says it all. In the Virtual Aerobatics server, I can only see the P-51D skins on my aircraft, not other clients. Is there something I'm missing or is this a bug? Or something else?
Blaze Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 If they are custom skins, you have to have the skin installed as well to see it. i7 7700K | 32GB RAM | GTX 1080Ti | Rift CV1 | TM Warthog | Win 10 "There will always be people with a false sense of entitlement.

Injerin Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 Skins are implimented with the mission builder, The mission builder will assign the skins to certain aircraft and all the clients have to have the skin installed to see it. If not, clients will only see a default skin. There is no option to DL other players skins in MP. I know its sad and we would all like to see it until a guy gets on with a hello kitty skin :P [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

seikdel Posted October 14, 2013 Author Posted October 14, 2013 I already have the other skins installed, and they look just fine when I fly the skinned aircraft. It's when others fly them that I don't see anything. Is there something else I'm missing?
ENO Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 Anyone you want to see your skins need to have the same skins installed. "ENO" Type in anger and you will make the greatest post you will ever regret. "Sweetest's" Military Aviation Art
seikdel Posted October 14, 2013 Author Posted October 14, 2013 Yeah, I have the skins installed that they use on the VA server. When I test their mission in SP, I can see all the P-51D skins. But when I fly online, I can only see the skin on my aircraft; everyone else has default skins.
Shahdoh Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 That's because a large number of people on the VA do not have the skins. If they do, you will see them in the skin as well.
seikdel Posted October 15, 2013 Author Posted October 15, 2013 Oh, so they literally have to fly with the skins installed as well? I can't imagine how that makes any sense, but I suppose a bug's a bug. On a related note, anyone have the P-51D Moonbeam skin? I can't find that stinker anywhere.

Siq6Six Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 Glad to read that the skins have to be installed locally in order to see them. Won't be unexpectedly traumatized while attacking artillery! No seriously, it was funny when it was a thing that briefly happened many years ago... Or ok, I guess, if your trying to spark your young daughters (or sons?) interest in flight... But some of these guys take this MLP/HK crap too far. There's nothing cool about grown men donning stuff targeted for very young little girls. It's effing creepy & nothing short of a bag of paracord & a box of razorblades can't solve. Makes ya wonder if they been caught slow-driving by schools trying to "pass out" free candy... 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
uboats Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 Every client must have the specific skin otherwise, the default one is used.

seikdel Posted October 17, 2013 Author Posted October 17, 2013 Thanks for clarifying that. That's just...crazy?
msalama Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 No Hello Kitty skins around here, but there is a My Little Pony A-10C skin floating around!! :D Back in the day someone made a Hello Kitty skin for the Rata in IL-2... we collapsed in a heap when we first saw that beauty online I'm telling ya :D The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of.
badger66 Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 Be nice if there was some kinda system where everyone could have access to view more skins in game . There are some artists out there whose work doesn't get seen much at all , unless you play single player , which I never do .
_SwiVet_ Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 It would be great if it were easier to see other skins. Even in IL2-Sturmovik, if another player used his personal skin online, it would be saved in the "net cache" of the game automatically. Or an area in-game where it reads your personal skins easily to apply them. ⁼ЅϮгаίϱϦϮеn цр, ϜІу ГϊϱϦϮ⁼

Try doing that in DCS with models that have several 2048+ pixel diffuse layers, spec maps, etc. Too much to transfer. ;) i7 7700K | 32GB RAM | GTX 1080Ti | Rift CV1 | TM Warthog | Win 10 "There will always be people with a false sense of entitlement.
