Downloaded and re-installed all the F6F skins.  Hangar shows VF-84, but it is not the one shown in the gallery:

I noticed it’s happening with all my new ones, updated skins are still showing the old version.

Anyone check the file attributes for the old and persistent skins?

What do you mean it won't stick?

When I log into the MA, in the hangar f6f5-16.res (VF-84/132 by Tex01) is red in the list, and the default skin is substituted.  I enable auto download and select that skin.  It downloads and shows the current yellow-cowl version.  It persists as long as I am logged in.  If I quit the game and later log back into the MA, the skin is gone (red in the list) and needs to be downloaded again.

I've been using this skin for months without a problem, until the latest skin batch was uploaded.

Popeye, Tex updated that skin(and others) for the last skin batch.

The problem you're having is happening to all of the updated skin from the last batch.

Furthermore, even after redownloading those skins, what you get is the unupdated version of it.
