First off, are you using the templates from eagle dynamics. If not, it is much easier to skin with those. Secondly, make sure that you are making adjustments to the base colour scheme only. Do not move stuff around on the other layers. This is obviously a skin painting problem, not how you are putting the files together. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Call Sign: Warhammer
Chazz_BMF Posted March 24, 2009 Author Posted March 24, 2009 Yeah i did use the template from ED. But i discovered that your skin.lma7 has a file No.3 (KA-50-PAINT3")((KA-50-GER-DEF-03.bmp) i cant find it anywhere in the template maybe thats why?? Didnt change anything but the basic color scheme in the files..What template did u use? :pilotfly:Wolfpack Production:pilotfly: -=<[WiN 10, I7 3770K @ 4,5 Ghz, Corsair H100i, Sabertooth Z77, 16 GB Dominator, Sapphire 7970 VaporX 6GB, C70 Vengance, Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS, Saitek Pro rudder, Track IR, Beyerdynamics MMX 300 ]>=- DCS/FC2/FC3/Arma videos on my channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/WolfpackproductionDK "Fortes Furtuna Juvat"
Sharkster64 Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 That one doesn't come with the templates. You can use any in game one or you can add the one from my skin. There is no need to alter that one, that is why it is not included. Make sure you have all the files when making your .cdds file. There are 11 files in total needed to make your skin.

iRocco Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 do you use the following manual? http://www.lockonfiles.com/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownloaddetails&cid=236&lid=1346&title=DCS%20Black%20Shark%20-%20Adding%20Skins%20Tutorial#dldetails That mentions something about renaming when you download the ED template files, maybe thats the problem? or did they fix their download by now?
