Before the 4.11 patch last rows looked in the user’s settings.ini file e. g. so:
[skin]
A/Ctype1=skin1.bmp
A/Ctype2=skin2.bmp
A/Ctype3=skin3.bmp
Now, after closing the game, look these rows so:
[skin]
__A/Ctype1=skin1.bmp
__A/Ctype2=skin2.bmp
__A/Ctype3=skin3.bmp
The difference is in two spaces at beginning of every row defining aircraft and skin. In the old form the game “reads” user-defined skins and uses this for user’s aircraft. In the new form the player has to define his own skin every time again, the game does not “read” the definition from the settings.ini file. If the player manually overwrites the settings.ini file to the old form, all skins will be accepted by the game, but only till the end of session, when the game overwrites the settings.ini file to the “new” form.
I cannot judge, if this is a bug or it is made intentionally. This new behavior of the settings.ini file is in any case more uncomfortable for the player then the older one.
If this “new” behavior can guarantee originally supposed user-defined skins for playing of older records, no matter which skin the player has defined last, I understand this as a new feature and I agree with it. Please, can I get some information?
And many thanks and all my respect to the DT for their amazing work!
