Up3 mission skins not working

[scott_fitz96]

Hello all.

Been having a blast with Ultrapack 3.0, but there is one small thing that is bugging me.

Using the MTO map as a Bf109 pilot against P-40s, I load up the map and the plane which has a nice-looking desert paint on it:

Now, when I start up the mission, I go to external and see that the paint scheme has defaulted, thus:

The same goes for winter camouflage on snowy maps, if the paint scheme is not actually set as a texture. Does anybody know a way around this? I would like to be able to fully utilise all these new paint schemes.

EDIT: I would like to point out that there is no skin listing for "desert" on the 109, whereas the P-40s have a dedicated RAF Desert skin. Could this be the problem? Also using QMB.

Tally-ho,
Scott.

Do you have the #UP# folder in your IL2 Directory? It is one of the archived files in UP3. When you unpack the UP3 you should have a .rar file called #UP#SampleFolder.rar, in this is a #UP# folder, unpack it into your IL2 directory.

I had the same problem and it hasn't reappeared since I did this.

Thanks for the reply Sandeu.

Unfortunately, your tip hasn't worked. I unpacked the folder you mentioned straight into the IL-2 directory, and everything is there, but the default skin keeps appearing.

Anything else I can try?

Sorry, I'm at a loss here.

You need to ask this at either ultrapack forums or SAS.
Which version of up3 are you using?

[scott_fitz96]

It's the RC4 version of Ultrapack. I'll try your suggestion and ask the UP forums about this.

Thanks all,
Scott.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I remeber this bug in an older UP3 RC, did you have UP3 RC4?

The #UP#SampleFolder.rar was released with UP3 RC1, it's better not to use it with last release since some file in those folder have been updated
