I hope you have had more luck that I... exactly the same issue, though I'm running Windows 7. Mat manager installed correctly, I make the changes in mat manager - it says its updating IL2 with the changes I've made.. but no effect in-game.

I wanted to give mat manager a try again, but I'm going to stick with Mcwolfs decal shine. The decals look as goods as mat manager, though they aren't customisable.
