Online Skin Problem - JackEdwardMorris - 01.05.2010

My friend and I were trying to shoot a movie, we both installed exactly the same skins, when we tried online, to each other our P-51's were in the default skin. Is it something to do with the skin sharing switch, I always have it in the down position! We played in multiple games on HyperLobby.
Any Suggestions?

Well, you have to have the Skin Download switch in the UP position, which is ON, both of you. Then it will work, provided that one of you is acting as the host. If you both join another server on HL, and that server does not have Skin Download turned ON, then it won't work.

It can also take some time to download each other's skin into the netcache folder. It doesn't matter that you both have the same skin, unless it's in your netcache folder (as netcache,not just copy and pasted there) it will have to be downloaded first. The time for this will depend on bandwidth and how many people are on the same server downloading the same thing.
