Pupo Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 How will this work? Will user made skins have to be unlocked as well? Otherwise there is no point in having the skins already in game 'locked' is there? probably as it worked in ROF: you can only use custom skins in mods on servers.
Trooper117 Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 I have RoF and everything the 777 team have put out... but I have never had to 'unlock' a skin. Plus, I can download any skin that is put forward by any skinner... this isn't only about MP. The vast majority of any flight simmers don't play online.

But RoF didn't have an unlock system so that isn't entirely relevant... Given the way the unlock system is designed, I am unsure if we will ever see user-made skin packs on the SP side of the sim. probably as it worked in ROF: you can only use custom skins in mods on servers. This is the most likely candidate.
Trooper117 Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 You miss my point... regardless of MP, I have to unlock skins for the current BoS SP. If user made skins become available, will they become locked on BoS SP too? If this is not the dev's plan, why on earth have skins locked on SP now, if I can get a skinner to just reproduce the stock skins in game? seems illogical...

If this is not the dev's plan, why on earth have skins locked on SP now, if I can get a skinner to just reproduce the stock skins in game? seems illogical... I can't see how that would work. The skin creator would have to assign a certain number of XP (ashamed to say that on a flight sim board...) to each skin and it would become a large, confusing mess. We'll see, I guess. I still think that it is unlikely to fit in to what is normally expected.
No601_Prangster Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 The skin issue was explained in the Developers Diary in July 2013. Servers can have official stats ON or OFF. Servers with them ON only use unlocked skin. If the stats are OFF then you can use custom skins. I'd imagine that the majority of user hosted servers will have custom skins. No information yet on custom skins for single player.

CIA_Yankee_ Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 (edited) Thank you guys I hope you will like it Oh, I certainly do. Aside from the recent CTD issue (which I haven't tested since the last couple of patches), I love how _easy_ it is to get into this sim. Don't get me wrong, I'm one of those who would salivate for a proper immersive campaign, but I can very much appreciate how the sim is very accessible. Minimal setup required, very intuitive interface, good realism options that can be quite simplified... it's a very slick product that I can see has amazing potential for growth. Very good work, and I look forward to its continued improvement. The one issue I'd have on that level - accessibility wise - is the lack of audio in the starting menu. Having a nice music and some sounds would make it a lot more "welcoming". New players may be put off by its complete silence. Edited October 23, 2014 by Itkovian 1

II/JG17KaC_Wolfe Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 Still suffering from laggy servers. The russian DED seems the most lag free to me. Is there anything that can be done re lag guys ? PS I don't mean laggs...although something should be done about them too...they keep shooting me down. Games great !

PS I don't mean laggs...although something should be done about them too...they keep shooting me down. Games great ! Lag is going to be both ends, the servers and your connection. I don't have any warping, latency, or connectivity issues with the Syndicate server. The DED server is not operated by the Devs, so that is going to have to go through the operators of that server to answer that question.
Sparrer Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 S! The skin issue was explained in the Developers Diary in July 2013. Servers can have official stats ON or OFF. Servers with them ON only use unlocked skin. If the stats are OFF then you can use custom skins. I'd imagine that the majority of user hosted servers will have custom skins. No information yet on custom skins for single player. What this official Stats servers supposed to be ? Somebody knows? I already read somewhere about rof can't reproduce more than 5 skins at same time. Is that true?
Thunderbird Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 Hi to all you budding fighter & bomber pilots, i would like to ask a reasonable question when you are flying your aircraft and you look at it from the outside, or inside, would it not be more convincing that fighter pilots and bomber crews were wearing oxygen masks, as in real life anything above 10.000 feet. Hopefully the creator,s of il2 sturmovik could look into fixing this hiccup. I would like the game to be as real as possible makes it more interesting????.
Thunderbird Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 Hi to all pilots out there. I have just installed the new update, but for some unknown reason my game tag name has lost a letter i.e it now says hunderbird instead of thunderbird in all missions and at the main game screen. I would like to know if any other player is having the same problem, Cheers????????
VBF-12_Stick-95 Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 (edited) It will be fixed today thunderbird. already announced. http://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/12097-master-server-update-october-24th/?p=187263 Edited October 24, 2014 by VR-Stick
Thunderbird Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 Hi to VR-Stick thank you for the info happy flying
