Many thanks, Spudkopf - really appreciate your hard work for the IL-2 community!

I have had this same problem (failed to update) - which occurred when downloading the 3.201 "hotfix" today. I have tried deleting the "UPDATES" folder as well as substituting the 2 files suggested by Thad (above - 25 August 2019). The launcher "analyses", then "downloads" (539.08 MB), and then starts the install before bombing out and giving the error message "Failed to update". Has anyone else experienced this with the "hotfix" update? Any suggestions before I do a fresh download of the whole flight sim again? Thanks.

I have just downloaded these default skins - many thanks, Spudkopf. What does one do with this skin? fw190d9_skin_09fw190d9_skin_10 Should be re-named? Many thanks.

Thanks, Yankee_One!

I've installed these Me 262 default skins (historically-correct) in the JSGME 'MODS' folder (by adding them to the already existing "4K Default Skin Replacement for BoBP" folder - by adding "Me262A" and "Textures" folders- and I still get the original default skins (historically-incorrect). The "me262a.dds" skin shows the historically-correct skin, but the other 10 do not! I must be doing something wrong!! Can anyone see what it is that I'm doing wrong - see screenshot of what I've done (below), Many thanks.

I've just had exactly the same experience - TERRIFYING - Kaspersky deletes IL-2 launcher (and other files?) - did a system restore (Windows 10) and wait for further developments.

Dear Spudkopf I'd really appreciate your help on this. I downloaded the default 11 dds files and have placed these into my 'textures' folder under 'planes' - I have also placed them into the textures folder of my MOD folder (under 'planes' - 'textures') BUT I still get default skins appearing without the hakenkreutz - I'm bewildered and confused!! I've installed skins (with the hakenkreuz) for other German aircraft and these work correctly. I'm sure that I must use the standard 4K normal map for the Fw190-A8 with these 'textures'? I'm obviously doing something wrong, but I just can't work it out!! Thanks in advance.

Thank you, Spuks.

I recently downloaded some skins and I found myself stymied this evening when I saw that these files/skins (a number of them) were named "FW190a7" and "FW190f8"?? To which aircraft do I assign these skins to? Many thanks.

Please advise where one finds the OFFICIAL skins folder (as opposed to the CUSTOM skins folder). Many thanks.

Dear Spudkopf Please advise as to which folder I must place these (to overwrite the historically-incorrect skins) - I don't use the mod facility. Many thanks

I think that I replaced the German default skins with "Hakenkreuz" ones, but without using a MODS folder. I can't remember how I did that - can someone please help me (I have the Fw 190 - D9 skins to install). Thanks

I think that the graphics in CoD are excellent - especially the cockpit interiors!! I do hope, however, that the Team Fusion guys are going to be paying attention to the sim's clouds - the small round ones - these are the only graphics blemish in what is otherwise a superb sim!

Excellent guide - thank you so much, Jade_Monkey. Any chance of adding the following: - torque (pulls to port or starboard) - recommended flaps setting on take-off - recommended flaps setting on landing?

Many thanks, SCG_BOO!
