Q: Why do you do this at all The Skins are available already from their original authors A: Its for the sake of simplicity and because IL-2 Great Battles has some nasty behaviour with custom skins online: You see them if both participants (the one whos flying with custom skin and the one whos watching) have the same skin installed. Otherwise the one whos watching will just see the default skin. Simplicity adresses the way skins are rolled out to the wider public. Unfortunately all the forums dealing with skins failed in establishing a working gallery and clear rules for skin distribution. Therefore 10-15 of all existing skin download links are dead, the others use about 10 different hosters and the downloaded files use 5 different formats and endless different internal folder structures. The download threads of e.g. DL link among them at all, sometimes you have like 20 posts per page but just one of them is a skin download, and the link is hidden behind a spoiler. Furthermore some skinners established a nasty habit of adding fancy prefixes to their skins like 1 or 1A of to make them appear upfront of any other skin. Trying to find skins at the official site was, as you said, very difficult. Having the game itself on SSD is always a good idea as it fights all kind of lag and stutters, namely Spawn-Lag on IL-2 1946 and Lag all over the place on IL-2 Great Battles after the 3.001 update. Skins however are a different thing. Their files will only ever get accessed once in a game session (from then on, that texture is in RAM) and the files are large but compared to other files to be loaded theyre just very few and they never come in a bunch. Therefore parallel access to many files (IOPS InputOutput operations per second) doesnt cound, seek time doesnt count, all that counts - if at all - is the sequential transfer rate, and in that regard good HDDs are not that much different from cheap SSDs and thats by far sufficient for the task. As you have suggested correctly Gerhard, the key to success is to use Symbolic Links if you have your game on SSD. Windows Users will have easy access to Symbolic Links using this tool: Link Shell Extension Now if your game is on SSD, you will want to create a separate Folder on HDD to hold your skins (name it whatever you want, I call it D:MyIL2GBFiles for this time).
