i dont realy care what aircraft type, just as long as it has no unit /nation/markings or leters. like the default skins of the default aircraft, just in desert colors, so i can fly africa maps with out standing out like a sore thumb, thanks in advance.

they are uploaded Norm but i don't think they have em posted yet...it takes a little while before they get em in the download section.

they should be under IL2 repaints when they are posted.

An excellent source for skins, tips, and templates for many sims, including IL-2 is at Simmer's Paintshop (http://www.simmerspaintshop.com/forums/downloads.php?do=cat&id=4).

i don't know about that..you can pm Douglas and ask him. he is the uploads admininstrator.

i think they only accept zip files though.

you can always download the free version of winzip...
