You must select enable skins on your clipboard so they will down load.

You must select enable skins to download in the background on your clipboard so they will down load.

If you choose to download them from the site you must log into the game to get an update so that the labels will go from red to black and the skins be usable.

Oh and just incase:
You have to be a subscribed member to the game to use skins i think.

Another option I've just found and experimenting with is the save default skin. I'm thinking that after you press that option whatever you set the plane to look like will become it's default choice but can change the skin anytime you want.

I strongly discourage installing all the skins. It is quite easy for them to overwhelm the resources of any computer system.
If you like losing a sure kill because your system suddenly pauses while it loads multiple skins at one time, then go ahead.
You certainly cannot preload all the skins as there is no version of Windows which will allow the game to use more than 2GB of RAM. With this next batch, we are now well over 3GB of memory needed to load them all.
Here's the Thread it's from

More from the thread
Then you have not run into multiple planes with different skins at the same time, for the first time. It would be impossible not to have a stutter, unless your frame rate is so low it masks the stutters, but then you would be looking at another set of problems.
It is impossible to access the hard drive for very long without causing a stutter. It is imposssible to have all the skins (over 625 now) preloaded without swapping occurring and each time that happens it would cause a pause in the game.
There is also a good chance your connection, to a busy arena, could timeout if you attempt to preload too many skins.
