Thanks in advance!

@sparty72 When you say 'shows in game folder' you're not actually saying that it 'shows in game', are you? If it's not showing in the Viewer either then I would suggest that you're saving to .dds with the wrong settings? You can put a .jpeg or a .zip file into the game and it will 'show' in the folder but it's of no use to the game is it?

Try saving your .dds with these settings in the dropdown menu... [DXT5    ARGB    8bpp    I    interpolated Alpha].

Let us know how you do?

Yes the image file show in "game" folder but does not show in the skin Viewer list of applicble "skins" to use, and yes, the settings are correct, everything was fine before i did a format on a new h/d, with aclean install of cs6, i have no idea why this is happening, everything seems correct! Thanks for ideas m8 , appreciated!

Well I really don't know WHAT'S going on there! I tell you what though, I would keep all the non-game files like your PS documents and such OUT of the game folder. That would certainly invite less confusion in the game for sure. Send me one of your skins (say, DUMPYTRY1) in a personal message and I'll see if I can make any sense out of it?

Just a thought but I once had this issue and it was because I had created a new aircraft folder with a name that was just one letter wrong.
