check skin names?  make sure they all end the same, _66 or _65 or whatever

then check file format. jpg, bmp, dds

It is not that. Files should be fine...works on my end. Double-checked before uploading.

maybe installed on wrong Phantom (ie, not a stock one?)

If the mod is installed properly, then most likely it's the game running out of VRAM; in such case you need to resize the textures to smaller resolution, since your PC configuration struggles with 4k or 2k textures.

Like Daddy says, it's almost always skin name is wrong or file type. Look at name of skin parts that do show up and use same file type and naming convention for one that is showing black.

If that does not work ,another thing I've done on occasion is taking the file that is showing as black. Save it as a different file type. For example, if its a bmp file open and save as a jpg. Then open up jpg and save it as bmp. Somehow that works.

Also compare file size .If one is orders of magnitude larger ,edit file type or image size.

No. I tested it many times. Not in this case. 

I have a habit of playing test flights for all my work...now and then. Flight - always 8 aircraft for every skin/squadron set - to have a wide view of decals within the squadron, every possible loadout.

The answer is here

I always try to upload everything in the max possible resolution so the end user can resize down if needed.

I mostly play on 3072 or 2048 skins....But, again, I upload 4K.

i do not recommend changing BUMP maps into jpg. - The game will have a tendency to read stock files instead, and then you will have mismatched "skin paint" features.

So, bump files bmp. Can go down to 3072 too.

Screens below are still in 4096.

 

I have exactly the same stuff as you. Tested many times. Recently, 14 minutes ago.
