Make sure to follow these instructions:

I will then create a new paint pack prior to the start of the campaign.

Any skins from the now defunct Winter Campaign pack that are still current will be reused.

Thanks!

This is purely voluntary. Custom skins are not required to participate. (I would encourage everyone to install them though... you DO want to be able to see who you are shooting down... don't you?  ).

Please submit links to your skins before Tues Jan 28. The pack will be posted with the link on this OP on Thurs Jan 30.

Please see the submission rules here:

FIF 2020 SKIN PACK (29 January 2020) UPDATED:

Full Skinpack is updated and zipped. Download here:

This is Flying Circus FIF Winter (V2). There were some mistakes and omissions in the original file. If you haven't yet installed the original file Flying Circus FIF Winter just download and install this one. Hopefully all is fixed .

Sadly... another error. There is a "data" file within the main "data" file. If you installed as is into the game folder, move the secondary "data" into your main game folder and  allow overwrite. The Flying Circus FIF Winter (V2) has been fixed but probably too late for today's FIF. 

If you did install the original file, you don't have to do it all over... download and install Flying Circus FIF Winter Patch(1). Download here:

Allow overwrite. There were SPAD skins in the Camel folder for 28th Aero Squadron, 93d Aero Squadron, 103d Aero Squadron and 213th Aero Squadron, as well as z 3PG. Please delete them. Also, please delete the skin file called   ! JG1 FokkerDr1 Luftritter B    from the FokkerDr1 folder (note the "B" on the end.  Do not delete the main file that has no "B" on the end).

 Both are in a zip file with the architecture: data\graphics\skins\*with the individual plane folders*

You should be able to unzip it into your IL-2 Sturmovik Battle of Stalingrad game folder and it will auto populate. However, I would suggest unzipping it into a temp folder first just to check and if everything looks good then cut and paste the complete data folder to your IL-2 Sturmovik Battle of Stalingrad game folder. Allow overwrite since many of the files have the same name as prior skins but have been changed.

Let me know of any additional mistakes or issues .

Salute!

No one is required to download any paint schemes to participate in a Flanders In Flames event.  However, the use of personal or squadron paint schemes can greatly help with in-air identification and overall esprit de corps.  As a result, their use is encouraged.

When submitting a paint scheme for inclusion within FIF, please remember our tournament rules:

On 1/12/2020 at 3:08 PM, Klaiber said:

Paint schemes that show incorrect national markings are known as “capture skins” within the context of the tournament.  “Capture skins” are a violation of sportsmanship, respect, and fair play. Their use within the FIF tournament is prohibited and will incur penalties.

Additionally, @Klaiber will be updating this section regularly, ensuring that only the most recent skins are represented.  All outdated skin submissions will be archived and removed.

For virtual squadrons, please have only one individual post for everyone within your group.

If you wish to have squadron or personal paint schemes visible to all participants of the event, please post your skins using the following format:

• Current date / version of skin(s) :
• Name of virtual squadron and/or individual :
• Name of author (required) :
• Squadron webpage : [ link to virtual squadron page (optional) ]
• Skin(s) Link : [ link to paint schemes (required) ]
