As some of you may know unlocks are being removed for premium owners. However the skins remain locked.
But don't fret. Here are all the bos skins extracted. Just drop in the proper folder and you'll be good to go.
ps. The He-111 skins work perfectly with cliffs and the 109 skins half work.

Posted this on the other site ... now there is a red button saying "posting disabled" near my account.
and my post got edited :(
Mwaahahahahahahahhah
Fun thing is, the Frenchies have done the very same thing on the french sub-forum, clearly visible to the mods.
Head in the Sand attitude again!
now all that's needed is a way to recompile GTP files, and we're in business.
*snicker*

This was wonderful news,however I've run into a spot of trouble.After downloading & installing the skins in their proper folders many if not all aren't showing up in game play.Checking in the folders I do have dds.files on the newly installed skins so what have I done wrong or was the download somehow corrupted? Thanks ! ;)

For some reason I'm not surprised that the French side of the forum did it first. Guess I should check there more often.

Do other skins work?
You could download a dds viewer to make sure they downloaded right, but it would probably be easier to just resown load them and try again.

Yes the other ( earned & third party) skins work just fine,but these new ones don't seem to "take".

Then I have no idea what the problem may be.
Try redownloading?

Thank you very much Cult Ritual, greatly appreciated. 8)
I love this one:

Much better than my attempt. :D

It is great that the devs have finally given us the unlock facility even though I have not used it yet, however, I would personally
rather it was the skins they unlocked. ;)
Anyway all is well with the world now.
EDIT:
The same skin does work in CLoD, however it needs to be jpg, unfortunately just chnging the DDS to jpg gives this:

However, if you open the DDS in DXTBmp and save as a bmp it can then be opened and saved as a jpg:

More experimentation needed to see what else wil work. ;)
Wishing you all the very best, Pete. ;D
