Can't.

Skuzzy will do that once approved and in-game.  Otherwise, you can  fly it in offline mode.

Download default skin for plane.

Change folder name to <plane>_xx

Switch plane bitmap with your new one

change the info.txt to something else (it will show up in the list in hanger as whatever you named it)

I just gave you a guide.

You will place renamed folder in your skins folder.

As long as you do not remove any native files in that folder, nothing will be "screwed up"

now i did everything on the list but idk where info.txt is. the file you are talking about is named b29. correct?

[VonMessa]

Well then make one.

open notepad

Write B29 by fullmetalbullet (or whatever you want for now)

save as .txt

put in folder

While probably not the best, you will find a nearly step-by-step walkthrough on how to edit skins and view them in-game (and in skin viewer) in my signature link.
