Please correct links on the "Official IL-2 Sturmovik: Great Battles Skin Templates"

G'day

I am attempting to update and organise my downloaded templates and decided sort them into nation of origin.

So starting with those from Germany, I found all but one of the links more or less worked even if I had to cut and paste them manually.

However the following link does do not work at all even when manually pasted into search with an error message being the only result.

Fw 190 A-8 / Art by 1CGS-ICDP / Prepared by ICDP / 4K resolution (Updated 12/13/21)

Actual link: https://www.mediafire.com/file/o5nebhuuofal7ez/Fw190-a8_Template_v2.zip/file

The error Message:

This site can’t be reached
Check if there is a typo in download1638.mediafire.com.

If spelling is correct, try running Windows Network Diagnostics.
DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN

So could someone please look into getting this one working again.

I'm also planning to download all the templates and will add any other non workers that I find to this post.

Cheers Spud

Hi, all seems to be working alright here? Mediafire can be finicky sometimes.

G’day Luke

Still no joy for me, just tried the link from my phone and unfortunately I’m still getting the same error for the Fw190 A8 template, All other axis plane links work more or less.

Cheers Spud

Just confirming that I have now been able to download all the other skin templates, both allied and axis, with the only exception being the Fw190A8

G’day Julian

Still a no go here, strange that it’s the only file that is having this issue. I’ve tried downloading it on the PC, iPhone and iPad using chrome, safari and edge and all to no avail.

So could I please impose upon you to kindly upload the file some where temporarily so I can grab it?

Cheers Spud

@E69_julian57 Many thanks for that.

However now it's just got weird, in that I get all the way to the down load page / banner:

Only to again get the same result:

 

So I then transferred the file to my own MediaFire account and even then when I attempt a download it I got the exact same old result, even after I also  renaming the file and having made MediaFire an allowed exception in my antivirus (just in case this was the cause), this however still had no effect on the outcome 😞

 

Clutching at straws. I decided to create a new folder and moved the file there, selecting that folder I then used the bulk download option, and finally success, no idea why but there you go, additionally I also discovered that now the unaltered  file in the new folder downloaded directly without a hitch, again no idea why?? 

Thanks again Spud
