Activating Skins

[DaneLicanin]

Hello

 

After many tries on my own i have to write my problem here in hope that someone can help me.

I've downloaded some Skinpacks and Unziped it into S:\Steam\steamapps\common\IL-2 Sturmovik Battle of Stalingrad\data\graphics\skins

When i start PWCG it appears as Missing.

I deinstalled it ( as goog as possible ) but i still have the problems that they still dont appear in PWCG.

Did i miss something or did i unzip in the false folder or should i have unziped it in an PWCG folder?? I hope you guys can help me.

Thanks

Unzip into S:\Steam\steamapps\common\IL-2 Sturmovik Battle of Stalingrad

 

The rest of the folder structure is in the zip.  If you open the zip you should see that.

 

If you unzipped into S:\Steam\steamapps\common\IL-2 Sturmovik Battle of Stalingrad\data\graphics\skins then I suspect that you will see a directory S:\Steam\steamapps\common\IL-2 Sturmovik Battle of Stalingrad\data\graphics\skins\data with the whole skins folder structure replicated inside of it.  If true then just delete S:\Steam\steamapps\common\IL-2 Sturmovik Battle of Stalingrad\data\graphics\skins\data

There was never a data folder in S:\Steam\steamapps\common\IL-2 Sturmovik Battle of Stalingrad\data\graphics\skins, just those with the names of the planes.

I tried it like you said and somehow they appeared... Feel a little bit dumb, but thanks anyway for your help and quick reply.

Glad you got it working.  That's all that counts.

 

P.S.  Don't worry about feeling dumb.  After going through every step in the pipeline successfully I merged into our main branch this morning and killed the build (real job, not PWCG).  Took until noon to sort it out.  Stuff happens

I have a another question: Is there any posibility that the Winter Skin activates by default in November, or do i have to write something into the Editor to activate it?

 

 

[PatrickAWlson]

Winter skins should coincide with snow.  Of course, the skin packs have to be installed.  If that's not happening I can look into why.

I see that the Winter Skin doesnt appear automatically in November. It stays with the Deafult Squadron skin. I'm flying with the 1./JG52, so im mostly Black/Gray ?
