;) Can anyone help me on how to install skins in IL-2 and in IL-2FB? Is there a tutorial anywhere? I have downloaded some skins--there is for example a folder called "MS406" and in it there is one file (graphic texture file). No text or anything else, no readme either. What does one do with this in IL-2? :ph34r:

I checked the stock a/c and each seems to have more than one file in its folder.

 

I would appreciate some help.

 

Thanks

Copy and paste the skin file into the appropriate aircraft folder in the C:\Program Files\Ubi Soft\IL-2 Sturmovik Forgotten Battles\PaintSchemes\Skins directory.

 

Also, be sure that you downloaded a .bmp file from whatever website it was, and not a .psd.... FB no like you flying around in a template :lol: (unless you need that template to make a skin)

 

If you are making skins, be sure to save it in bitmap format and in 256color.

 

FB skins should only be 1mb (uncompressed).

Thanks for the info. Does the information also hold true for IL-2, the original game, or is only true for for the 2nd game, IL-2 FB?

Holds true for IL2, IL2 FB, and IL2 FB AEP, and I suspect that Pacific Fighters will be the same way.

 

real shame that LOMAC isnt as skinable as the IL2 line :angry:
