Having troble getting F4F skins to work. As a matter of fact, your approved skin wont even work. All that works is the default skin. I dont have any problems with any other skins.

What directory names are you using for the F4F skins? Just wondering if you were naming them "f4f1" rather than "f4f41".

Otherwise I'm stumped, anyone else having problems?

My Custon 312th F4U skin is named F4U1D2. I did the same with the F4F as F4F42.

You *might* need to have an existing "/F4F41" directory in order for the F4F42 skin to function.  I might be wrong.

I did a couple of tests to try to see what is wrong. First I downloaded one of my own F4F skins from AH Skins and it worked fine.

Then I tried renaming the F4F41 directory to F4F43 and that skin disappeared from the game. Changing the name back to F4F41 brought the skin back. This effect wasn't universal however, when I changed the F4F42 directory to F4F44 it remained in the game.

So I suggest you try Oct's suggestion and rename your F4F42 directory F4F41.
