Is there any way to change static plane skins?

[Fly!]

in conf.ini under
[Game]
ClearCache=0

fly QMB w/ desired skin--Quit
look in PaintSchemes/Cache/your plane's folder name

copy that folder to

MODS/3DO/Plane/summer
or
MODS/3DO/Plane/winter   

reset   ClearCache=1

Thanks but I tried that and also the skinmod but still no luck getting a different skin for default.

I would be interested to see if there was a way to make static planes have selectable skins just like the normal planes.

teisco, I've moved this to tech help section. If you're unsure about where to post, use this basic rule that I follow. If your post has /is a question, and ends with a question mark, it's safe to assume that it's a help question....
Also, if you look around, you'll find the answers in the forum stickies.

Still trying to figure this out..there must be a way to do this that works. Where are the default skin files and where would I find the file that governs what skin is default?

[SAS~Malone]

give us some more info, mate....what mod version are you running/which mods are you using?
there is a mod available at vpmedia's site for changing the default skins, afaik it works for the static planes, as well. It's called SkinMod:

Also Fusion Pack has a nice  Default Skinpack as well.

Running UP 20,,trying to change default to custom skin,,tried SkinMod without success. Put files in Mods folder correctly,,Mods/Skinmod/Planes/C-47/summer/ (four cashed skin files for skin I want to use)

[SAS~CirX]

Mods/Skinmod/Planes/C-47/summer/ = no

Mods/Skinmod/3do/Plane/C-47(Multi1)/summer/

or Mods/Skinmod/3do/Plane/C-47(USA)/summer/

[teisco]

yes it is that way,,just forgot to add it in post,

[SAS~Malone]

have you tried having a look in the Cache folder (minimise game after selecting and briefly flying with the skin you want to use), then copying those files to the relevant folder in the Skinmod folder? That's the way I usually do it...
Also, could you go through your planes and see if it's only some of them that don't work, and if so, which ones?
