Type of Improvement: Enable skins folder when the skin download is disabled.

Explanation of Proposal:
If the skin download is not allowed, the program allow to load the skins from the main folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\PaintSchemes\Skins\...). (I'm not talking about the netcache folder, just the default skins folder). If you flying together with teammates, it is important to see the other aircraft painting, even if everyone else is disabled.
We send each other these skins in e-mail, copy all to my default folder, it will solve. If the file names start with the pilot's name, the skin is much easier to handle.

Other options these feature: allowed skin selection to server. Download skins from the server's webpage, copy them to the main skin folder. So you'll know what people see and what not.
If you do not copy anything, you see only the default skins, as now. And of course, that does not affect, if the skin download is enabled, then everyone can see everything.

Benefits:
- It makes it easier to identify team members when flying online.
- Plus, you can filtering the allowed skins on your own server.
