Great idea FT, can i make a request though? Would it be possible to add a check box to only download 4k skins, should be easy to do given the 4k file size vs 2k file size? I'm also planning to work on something for myself which can be made available to all once done. As it really offends my sensibilities to not have all 4k skins as default and in particular not have proper German markings by default, I'm planning on altering an available mod to change all the default skins to 4k, for the ones that haven't already been updated to that standard, including the relevant normal maps, and correct German markings. This will make all the AI planes and any of you peasants using 2K skins appear in glorious 4k correct markings goodness! Edit Made all the easier since i've just found a current list of what i need to change and not change.....

Currently working on a thing called CheckSkins ... The idea is to run it every now and then on your gaming PC. It will have the same usage restriction as CheckMods had: One has to be a DD to use it! (Could open it up for everybody - but we would probably run into Bandwidth issues - lol) * It will upload all your skins to a central location, if they are not there already. * It will download all skins from the central location to your skins folder, if they are not there already. * It will be file-name based, including only .dds files. It will not be contents based. Yes, this will pose a problem when you update a skin! Not sure how to handle this, and whether this will be a problem! (It's always possible to manually delete files from the central location...) On the one hand, I would like it to be as automated as possible - you start it, and it does its thing, up- and download missing skins. However, I can imagine one would want some options: 1. Only download locally missing skins 2. Only upload centrally missing skins (Wait, this one makes no sense at all!) 3. Both Here's a preview: Any suggestions? Remarks? Ideas? Feel free, go ahead!

Indeed, such a return to 1946 is a good idea. Although - whenever it 'd be up, I suspect the number of "My %$**&& Controls are ffttupped!" will make it all rather short lived! 😎

Googled a bit, and created this: Set fld="D:\Bos\Data\Graphics\Skins" Rem 4K is 16777344, so a bit less. Set FSize=16777340 Rem Show the files within this selection @ForFiles /P %fld% /S /C "Cmd /C If @IsDir==FALSE If @FSize LEq %FSize% echo @FSize0x09@Path" Pause Rem Delete the files within this selection @ForFiles /P %fld% /S /C "Cmd /C If @IsDir==FALSE If @FSize LEq %FSize% Del @Path" 1. Copy/paste the text into notepad, save as a .cmd file (Yeah, you know) 2. Set your skins folder in the first line, this one is mine. 3. Run it. It will show all skins smaller than 4K. It will then wait for a key press. If you press the key, the files listed will be deleted! If you do not want that to happen, hit Ctrl-C Edit: Note that this one does it recursively, so it includes all sub-folders as well. Tested this on my Pc, works. Very handy that ChkSkins is there, the 14 skins I deleted this way, were easily downloaded again... it's cool!

That works for me. Edit I might pick your brains on how to write a .bat file to delete all files smaller than a certain size from a folder though
