HUGH!
could be that the old ( very old ) format where the plane folder could be left out (?) doesnt work anymore 'cause TK changed
some decal related things, e.g there 's now the ALIAS.lst file ....
This format is kinda standard for add-on kites since a couple of years, I have planes which are 4 years old using this format, aircraft folder/skin folder/decal name ( if decals are int he same folder as the skin bmp's )
or
FilenameFormat=C-130J/MDANG/D/usaf = aircraft folder/skin folder/ decal subfolder inside skin folder/ decal name
those stock decals are either inside the Objectdata.cat / Objectdata01.cat or in the Objects/Decals folder.
To change them, extract the files, make a new Decals folder ( if necessary) and dump them in there.. then you can change their color ect
