Help Required! Violet-Coloured Skin!

[Mungee]

I've obviously done something wrong - my default skin for the Bf 109-G2 is a violet-coloured one!!

 

Please can someone assist me in solving this problem.

 

Where are the default skins stored?

 

many thanks.

Sounds like you've imported a normal map but named it incorrectly -

 

Have a look in the folder data/graphics/planes/textures/BF109G2 within the games root directory. If you have a file in there that is a) Violet and b) NOT called "Bf109G2_B" then that's your problem.

 

Hidden from mortals, that folder also has the default skin. In the G2s case "Bf109G2" - now that will most likely have been overwritten by the Normal map. You can replace it with another 3rd party skin (renaming it Bf109G2) or perhaps look into deleting that purple skin and verifying the game (I know you can do this with steam) - be warned with this - back up you control sets and views before you do as these might get overwritten to.
