[Mod] Historically Accurate Skins 4K [Updated 8/30/25]

[milktoast]

Small update. I had incorrectly exported the ta152 files causing some items to not appear correctly. All fixed now.

[LandsersLandser007]

Thank you again for your updates, I really love your modifications! 😉

Thank you.

How do you correctly install the Swazsticker-preload and Static Historically correct German skin files? 

?

[DeePoseidon]

Skin's do not seem to be working. I downloaded the complete download, and unpacked the file into my IL-2 main directory, I started the game and the skins haven't gone into the game. I don't know what I have done wrong here.

If I am not mistaken this mod is set up to be installed with JSGME. Simply unpack the download into your JSGME Mod folder which is in the IL2 main folder. Then start JSGME and apply this mod. Start the sim and you are good to go. That is how I use it.

Still no skins, I downloaded JSGME and installed it into the IL-2 main folder, and extracted the data file out of the HAS zip into the mods folder and installed it with JSGME but no skills still I am afraid.

Just to be sure…

Mods are activated in the game settings?

That was the issue, they're working now thank you very much.

Looks like most of the skins are now missing the Balkenruz etc is this an issue my end or another update?

[Gr3y]

According to Steam, there was an update. No patch notes though.

No issues here. The mod works as it always has for me.

[JG4_Moltke1871]

Do we have the chance the Mod will be updated withe the Siege and Liberation Planes plus the new finnish skins of the Hurricane?

 

[Vamandrac]

Probably going to have to get Milk's attention somehow to make that happen.

[milktoast]

Updated. As always, let me know if there are any issues with the new skins and I'll try to fix them when I can.

No pictures in the menue are visible. Did I make a mistake (I throw the data folders into the HAS folder) ?

 

Or they just come later? 
 

Anyway, thanks a lot, the skins looking great 🙂

Inside whichever HAS.zip version you downloaded there is a ‘data’ folder. You need to copy that folder from the mod into your il2 directory which will also have a folder labeled ’data’ merging the folders. Make sure to to not copy the mod into the data folder in il2s directory or it won’t work.

 

 

 If you did install it this way then let me know which version you downloaded so I can fix the issue easier

[Josp]

Hi milktoast,

 

thank you for this mod.

 

I can confirm the problem reported by JG4_Moltke1871.

None of the pictures in data\swf\il2\worldobjects\planes\i153\skins and data\swf\il2\worldobjects\planes\hurricanemkii\skins is displayed in the game.

 

Also, there is no preview.png for Hurricane and I-153.

 

I suppose there is something non-standard in all .dds files with the Hurricane and I-153 Finnish skins and pictures.

Windows doesn't show their preview and size in pixels as it does in case of all the other .dds files.

 

And I have noticed one more problem.

Skins i153_blank_06#1.dds and i153_blank_07#1.dds in data\graphics\Skins\I153 are identical.

The latter one doesn't match i153_blank_07#1.dds in data\swf\il2\worldobjects\planes\i153\skins.

I think what their saying is the pictures of the Finnish skins are not showing up in the QMB menu.  You can still select the skin and it shows up in the hanger screen.  I tried to open the pictures with GIMP but got an error.

Hi,

 

 

first of all thank you for your work and time.

It´s an outstanding mod.

 

 

In my copy from the  Updates

 

texture folder is missing, so there is no preview for the Hurricane and I-153.

 

Skins are working in the setup menue.

 

S!

Same here!

Doubling back on this. No, you didnt make a mistake if youre asking about updating the mod, just have to merge the data folder from the update with the data folder in HAS.
 

 

 

I incorreclty exported the textures so the previews arent being displayed correctly. Fix will be uploaded soon.

[Yankee_One]

 

Now it´s working perfectly.

 

Thank you

[Quetzalkoatl]

Hey, I noticed that Night livery for Bf 110 G-2 is incorrect to what it should be according to the preview.

 

I'll be delighted if a fix appears in the future 😁

And in general thanks for your work, it really improves immersion that sadly is censored by default.

[HotPursuit]

Hi Quetzalkoatl,

I don't have this problem with my install. (The correct 'Night' skin is the small preview picture)

I suggest you download the Kuban 'Default & Alternative' pack and install that and see if it fixes the problem.

The skin you need is bf110g2_blank_02.dds

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Quetzalkoatl]

Originally I had installed All in One "Default & Alternative" which I downloaded 3 weeks ago.

Today I downloaded Kuban one as you suggested - but it also seems to have exactly the same bf110g2_blank_02.dds.

Maybe you have an older version of this mod that didn't have this issue.

[HotPursuit]

You are right, the current d/l has the wrong skin.  I must have an older version with the correct skin.

I guess milktoast will fix it when he can.

In the meantime here is the correct skin that I have  Bf 110G2 Night skin

You will need to put it in the  right location.
