"in LOMAC 1.02 obviously everybody could eject from a missile hit"
that is not true, at least for me. There was situations when i wasn't able to eject from f-15, but only from f-15
love those skins, especially on the f-15, altough i love su-27 more.
i know skins are only for RvE's internal use ( i think ) and shame there is no public version of the skins
try first this - right click on empty place on desktop and in drop menu under Arrange Icons By remove confirmation from Lock Web Items on Desktop.
if this doesn't work there is another way;
i found this in informatic magazine.
the second one is: firts step is do what Pilotasso wrote here: control panel>system>advanced> button settings > Performance > tab Visual effects confirm on Use drop shadows for icon labels.
Then go to Control Panel > Display > tab Desktop > click on button Customize Desktop > tab Web. Here you have to remove confirmation from all pages on list under Web pages and from Lock Desktop Items
here are the names of russian pilots textures in dds
RUS-HELMET.bmp, RUS-Pilot.bmp, RUS-Pilot-2.bmp
