In the game, in the option panel (of the plane you have added the skin), your skin will appear.

that's exactly what i did, but there is an enormous mess of pull down menus, and i have to know exactly what squadron, and a hundred other parameters i have no idea about?

it's not as easy as just skinning up the bf-109e or whatever...i could never get the new skin to appear as an option. only the stock skin. i could not even add the weathering. i tried to add weather and wear detail for all planes, but nothing even showed up.
