Nice job Danny, now tell me where you found the template/void, I only have empty skin folders in my directory...

I didn't. I found these skinfiles in the main game directory and guessed by eye where the decals had to be placed. These are the only skinfiles that are freely accessible, there aren't any skinfiles available for other planes...

I have found one 109 texture in the cache file along with a dds version of the same texture but nothing else anywhere...

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\PaintSchemes\Skins

that's where I found them. Like I said the only planes that have editable skins at the moment are the BF109 and the BF110. All other folders are just full of .mrk files that I'm unable to open.

Ah, thanks mate! :)

Hmm, is it me or are moderators removing any screenshots with swastika's in them :P

Might be a good idea to change my signature picture...

edit:

I found out you can use some of these skins in single player if you happen to get lucky...

in steam go to the Library and Right-click Cliffs of dover. Click properties. Click updates. Uncheck Steam Cloud Synchronisation.

paste the skins into this folder and click yes when asked to overwrite.

In some missions one of the standard skins will be picked and if you're lucky the game will pick a modified one.

Yep, they have pretty strict rules here. I used to have a Balkenkreuz as Avatar but when this board was created I was asked to change it because the Balkenkreuz was considered a NS emblem. 1C House rules, I'm afraid.

Take a Bundeswehr "Eisernes Kreuz" then, my friend :) I'm really looking forward to their reactions :D

spitfire and hurricane has also skins in thier folders.
and i save them in the 1C Soft Club directory , actually, to see them in game.

hi guys, not trying to hijack the thread but I have a couple of questions, maybe you can help me

1. Why can't I choose a custom skin on the Quick Mission?
2. When I make a mission on the FMB and Apply a custom skin it works there, but if I record a track and then play said track. Why isn't the skin applyed?
