Hi,

Just not sure about installing skins and skin packs.Previously when I was on XP I had no probs at all .I notice now that I'm using Vista Home Premium some downloads go in no problem at all, then for no reason others just won't and I'm using exactly the same process each time which is extracting the skins with WinRAR.
Another question I had was how do I install multiple aircraft skin packs, an example "The best skins for il-2".Do you just put the whole pack straight into the skins folder,if this is the case I've tried this and it does'nt work for me.
Is there a trick that I'm missing, some help would be great.

Ceege1.

well in oder to download skins you CANNOT unpack to the folder. You must open il2 sturmovik 1946 'folder'. Click start and then look for the toolbar "search". Search "1946". It should show you the game 'folder' or file. open it up and go to "paintschemes". once in go to skins. open the 'zipped' file you downloaded. look for the skin image or ".bmp" (bitmap). it should show as an editing toolbar
or anything like that. place the skin in the correct skin file. For example: I downloaded a BF-109-E4 skin place in the bmp. skin file in correct file under the same name "BF-109-E4". this may be confusing. there are lots of ways to do this. reply if you need more help
