Aloha All,

Granted, I'm fiddling with the demo version before it times out in a few days... Maybe I should not.

Anyway, I found a few Spad 13 historical skins that I've installed in the Rise of Flight\data\graphics\Skins spad 13 folder.
This is the only flyable aircraft with a skin folder on the demo. For some reasons the other flyable plane - the Albatros D.Va - does not have a skin folder although I have found a few Albatros D.Va skins on some German & French RoF fan sites !

AFAIK I've installed the Spad 13 skins in the right folder, but only the default skin shows up in the hangar.

What am I missing? or is the demo version built that way?
Should the file names be edited? For example a typical file name is : Escadrille 67.dds
Too long? No space? Too French???

Cheers,
Slug

Skins that are not part of a NeoQB-approved skin pack only work when the sim is in Mods ON mode. Mods can be toggled on and off in the launcher. Be advised though, that there are practically no Mods ON MP servers.

5,

Thx for the quick response. I'll tick the Mods ON in the setting window.
No MP for me from China. Pings are terrible so far.

Cheers,
Slug
