Aircraft Skins

[OengusAnBearMor 0]

Hi all.

 

I downloaded some skins for the F100 (SEA and Mec Black) and have tried repeatedly to place them/get them to work. Each time I put them in the F100 file, i save it, and then try running SFP1.. choosing the F100.

 

However, the only paint options I am given are the USA Silver and the France Silver. When I open the file to look into possible problems, the two texture sets I added are missing.

 

What could I be doing wrong?

 

any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks.

These days you just need to drop the skin folder into the aircraft folder.

 

I don't know about the black merc skin but if the SEA was Galanti's just extract (using WinRar) the SEA folder to your \Objects\Aircraft\F-100D folder alongside FrenchSilver1 & USAFSilver1. That's it.

Now when you launch the game & select the F-100D you should be able to select that skin too.

Check you skin folder. It should have a text file named TextureSet. If it isn't there, then it's a pre-SP3 skin & you will have to edit your F-100d config.ini to add the skin data. This skin data should be in the Readme file that came with the skin. If your unsure about how to edit the config.ini, here's the one from my F-100d folder to use as an example :

As you can see TextureSet006 is a SEA camo

 

Directory=XXXX is the name of the skin folder.

 

Name=XXXX is the skin name that appears in the loadout screen...
