Tried skinning a Pup. Did not work. Called my expert and she walked me through. Did not work. Did a nieuport and all went well. Tried the pup again and no go. Used generic pup RNAS 3 skin and renamed an ace skin. Any ideas?
This is how it is named. It comes up in the drop down box but not in game. Saved as 24 bit like my others.
Any help is appreciated.

Check the install folder and make sure it is the correct skins folder. If it is, try deleting the skin and re-import it. Report back with the results!

Rick, I hate to be stupid, but what is the "correct" install folder. I used a generic pup RNAS 3 skin and put it in an "ace" RNAS 3 folder. Sorry but I am not sure what you mean.

It goes in the main skins folder that the Albatros skin went in. I'm on a tablet right now and can't screenshot it, but fast forward in the tutorial video to the import section and make sure it is in that folder. Report back with results!

I have no idea what I was doing wrong but am happy to report that I now have my personalized Pup skin! Thanks again Rick.

Here you go Mudwasp. Simple is as simple does! I will not try to get fancy until I get this stuff down pat.

Here is my favorite from the skin pack.



Watch your dive speep in the Pup, lower wing tips go first. Listen for the wind sound, if you can keep an eye on the guage...125 is flirting with trouble. especially if you make a stress move at that speed.

Guys, there are skin files in several places. There are also more than one "campaigns" folders.
The skins we want to use go here (make sure to keep the correct path):

OBD Software > WOFF > OBDWW1 Over Flanders Fields > campaigns > CampaignData > skins

It is not necessary to name them as an ace skin - might even rather confuse WOFF.
Just pick a default skin from the unit you want to join, change it, and save it
with an ending after the year number, which you will recognise, like:
...1917 MudWasp

That's it.

Thanks Olham. I did not know there were skin files and campaign files in several places. That being said, I am sure I followed the correct path but I could be wrong. I have been wrong before but never unsure. Thanks for the help.

Gottcha on that naming now Olham, but that was actually the name of the skin on the previous page.

I had that happen to me too, MFair
