Hey BEARCAT,
What you have to do is download a Mission from the downloads here at DCS.
Open your Mission Editor and click file and Open that Mission, You are then going to edit that mission by clicking on the actual map these BLUE TRIANGLES WIth the letter " F " on them. Those are the actual planes in the mission. Once you click on one of them a window will pop out on the right to edit that aircraft. Click on the ICON that resemnbles a MISSILE. Then choose skin and pick the skin folder you edited. SAVE the mission and click on FLIGHT tab above and click FLY. Once you have loaded the mission click the aircraft you have assigned the skin to. You should be able to see it. If you any other problems please let me know.
