    Usually, FT is kind enough to add to the skault for those using chkskins. I think that's how it works. I believe, with the exception of my new one and T-bones, I uploaded everybody's 402 skins to the skins area and also in this thread. 

    With regards to T-bone, not sure he actually officially released his skin, I have it because I created it to begin with but passed over the working files for him to finish. 

    Yours is on chkskins now Chris - put it there last night

    Yeah sorry Nick, it was a situational awareness lapse on our part. From my end I saw four contacts, three turned out to be blue but I couldn't gauge the distance from the red one and was keeping more of an eye on Painless that on them, but they seemed well apart at that time. For the next 15-20 seconds or so Mick and I did a long right shallow climb turn around him, Mick then went in, missed, and at that time I think you might have been under me, I asked Mick if I should take a shot and got an affirmative. I hit him in the tail, which might have been already damaged a bit - I remember a stabilizer missing, but not sure if that was after I fired my shot or from before, and there were some bullet holes from before in the tail I saw from up close as I made my shot. He spun out a few seconds later. All the time I didn't see anyone on his six, nor did I notice being shot at (I'm sure I wasn't hit). I think our shallow climb took us above you and as we swooped down on him you were under us the whole time. At least that's what happened from my perspective.

    Yeah, as I remember Rox, you did come from my high 12 with more speed than me so I guess I was directly below you on the approach, I was slightly lower than the FW too. I had already tagged him around the tail area earlier in the fight so that likely accounts for the missing stab. Fortunately, I saw you just in time to get off the trigger so only a very short burst went close to you. Ah well, no harm done in the long run so we'll learn the lessons and move on.

    No need to apologise Mick, but it's worth noting that as Rox appeared in front of me I was firing on the EA so it's quite possible he was hit by my rounds in the process. I'm glad I didn't hit anything important. It does underline the importance of improving the communication between the units if we're operating in the same area though as none of us want a friendly kill on our records.

    No matter, if your parcel hasnt arrived check the roof, their drivers often throw packages up there.
    unless its already been crushed and kicked down the street. it should be fine.

    As this file is getting harder to find now (Nvidia have got it locked away in their 'Developer' area where you have to pay for an account), I'll post it here for anyone keen to make their own skins for GBS etc.

    This is for the 64-bit version of Photoshop - it will not work if you're on the 32-bit version.

    To install; download and run the executable then follow the on-screen prompts.

    Cheers

    I'd just do the update Col, you're only putting off the inevitable - and you never know, it might be fine.

    Following the automatic updates are a much better way of ensuring that you don't have problems with future updates than trying to pick and choose what to install - for instance there are half a dozen specific updates that have to be carried out before 20H2 will install correctly - if they're not, it'll fail for definite. Good news is that if you use the auto update function they were all installed in the weeks running up to the release of 20H2.

    Just my opinion though.
