Anyway, I thought the unified mod contained new skins as well, but I can't really see any new ones in the Quick combat generator. And when looking in the Mods folder there is an inferno of skin folders... what is the easiest way to get nice skins installed? And to get them as default choices?

USING THE SKIN MOD:
How to make a new default skin?:
I assume that most IL-2 fans got a large collection of skin already installed,
so finding new defaults wont be a problem.
First, make sure, that in conf.ini parameter "ClearCache=0" is in the [game] section,
then launch the game and run QMB with the choosen skin.
For a summer Bf-109F4 skin you need the following files, which will be
automatically generated once you viewed a skin in the QMB, on the arming screen:
-skin1o.tgb 1024*1024
-skin1o.tga 512*512
-skin1p.tga 256*256
-skin1q.tga 32*32
These are different resolutions of the same skin, being switched when view distance is changed.
