I just downloaded and installed PP5.3 and the patch and now the user created skin that I had for the Lanc is not being used by FS. It is in the correct folder and named Lanc.tif. The skin that is being used looks like a Luftwaffe nightfighter scheme! The other skins that I have for the other aircraft work fine. Any ideas?

Thanks, G-man

Thanks, Hawker. I knew you or Kopper or one of the other BC boys would have the answer! I did install the 5.3a patch, but I unzipped it to my FS directory, not specifically to the Media folder. Is that what I need to do? G-man

Gman u can do that or what I did is view the zip and extract the sm files into th proper plane folders and then extract the startup ppf into media folder Make sure u dont have any xtras in ur plane folders ie delete sm and loadouts for the affected planes then put the patch in
