Unable to get a new skin in game (SOLVED)

[greybeard_52]

I've been trying to visualize a new skin for the Bf 110C-7/trop for hours, without success. I tried putting it in all the Paintschemes\Skins\Bf-110C-7/C-7Late/C-7N folders, both in the "..SteamLibraryHDD\steamapps\common\IL-2 Sturmovik Cliffs of Dover Blitz\PaintSchemes" directory, and in the directory "Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of Dover\PaintSchemes\Skins". But with no avail: I can only see the new skin in the "Bf-110C-7" folder but I can't find a way to associate it with the C-7/trop.
PLEASE HELP!

What is the format of the skin you are using?

Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea grandissima culpa!?

The right folder is tobruk_Bf-110C-7_Trop!

Now it's ok!

I use old 110 Blitz skins. The desert ones are awesome but the filter ends up black

That isn't an official skin.

The desert skins I made all have names that start with 'TF...' or 'TFS ...'

The desert/tropical Bf110 has different air intakes (to the non- tropical version), and if they aren't painted correctly on the skin then the intakes will be the wrong colour.

(Because the tropical version has dust filters.)
