Morning gentlemen,
yesterday I installed official skinpack. Downloaded from "Buy now" page, disabled my antivirus during the installation, patched the game to 4.11 I also ran clone and the other device in toolbox folder (in the game directory). After I launched the game, everything looks fine, version is correct (4.11 4241), skins are available for use on aircraft I tested. BUT After I started a mission (any - campaign, quick etc), loading takes quite longer than normal and ends with error window that says something like "Aircraft xy is not loading and is not working" (I dont quote, forgot to write it down). The first time the multiple windows popped up for something like 10-15 aircraft and after closing them all, the game crashed. Second time, only one window appeared and game crashed again. Third time, one window appeared, but mission loaded ok. I tried to fly the mentioned aircraft and it is flyable, no problém.
I really wanted to fly already, so I didn´t test it more, but if any of you got any advice, I will be glad. I am kinda lazy to reinstall the game, but will do it, if you guys think I should.
Thank you for any advice and have a nice day.

I think the game should work for you now, without errors. You probably mentioned error that appears if your aircraft *.bdp files are older (their creation date) than associated *.xdp files. This should fix BDPStamp.exe application, that refreshes date attribute of all *.bdp files Do not give up and test/run WOFF UE again . It should work now

BTW, this error message is typical for aircraft *.xdp files modified and newer than their associated *.bdp files. And, as Pol already pointed, it does not have anything with Historial Skin pack installation. This pack is installed to separate folder and does not alter aircraft folder/files.

Yes, It is for the same aircraft always. Except for the first time, when this popped up for maybe 15 aircraft. I didn´t set anything anyhow. Only thing I set myself is CFS3.exe and WOFF.exe to compatibility mode to avoid the black screen after mission problém (which it solved btw :)). My WOFF UE is installed directly in E:OBD Software... Actually OT question, would it help to increase performance, if I install it to my SSD?M Currently its on the slow HDD (not SSD). Ok I will reinstall WOFF UE completely, but I have a question about backup files. Do I need to copy paste those files somehow? Or do they just stay in PC after uninstall and apply themselves automatically?

Prior to reinstall WOFF UE completely, try to extract these files to your aircraft/Nieuport17_lewis_SQ1 folder Aircraft files . Regarding backup files - download User Files Backup Utility from WOFF web page Backup utility . Regarding SSD - I do not have it personally, but many users here can confirm it would help to shorten mission loading times and when 3D, access to data textures/scenery.
