I've just downloaded a skin for the Fokker DR1 representing Joseph Jacobs from the ROF website. The black triplane he flew has always been a favorite of mine.

I've loaded skins in IL-2, but can't figure out where to put them in ROF. I don't see any paint schemes or skins folders. I've already tried the graphics folder but still no result. Does anyone here know the procedure to implement custom skins in the game?

Sorry, I just saw the ROF Skins post in the General Section. The answer, obiviously is there. Don't know why I didn't see it. I must be going blind from playing ROF so much!

Can you point me to this post?

I made a post on this for people asking on the RoF forum. Obviously the Skin Sharing Tool is the easiest way, but you end up with whatever others have decided to share on it. If you prefer to pick and choose, this is where you would manually install the files.

Current skin folder structure is;

For selectable planes:

Rise of Flight\data\graphics\skins

Skins are divided by plane within that folder. Folder names for each current plane are:

albatrosd3
albatrosd5
breguet14
dfwc5
fokkerd7
fokkerdr1
nieuport17
nieuport28
pfalzd3a
pfalzd12
se5a
sopcamel
sopdolphin
spad13

Simply place the skin (dds) file in the appropriate plane folder. You will have to create the plane folders if they do not already exist from a previous skin.

For default skins: (This is what will be on your plane at mission load, and also on your wingmen for single player missions.)

Rise of Flight\data\graphics\planes

Folders are the same as in "Skins" above, however, inside each of the skin folders you will need another folder named "textures". Additionally the skin you want as default must be named the same as the folder.

For example, the full path to a default skin for the N.17 must be:

Rise of Flight\data\graphics\planes\nieuport17\textures\nieuport17.dds

Hope that is clear and keep in mind, this may change with 1.009
