Is it the entire skin that is messed up, or just the noseart? If you can you attach a screenshot it might help someone spot the trouble.

Im not sure on how to do a sreen capture (Im new). The problem is when I use the template and don't add my own art everything works great. The problem start after I add my art. Everything save fine but when I load my plane in the game the details of the skin is in the wrong places. In fact it looks like the void skin with a plane in the middle. It has to be something Im doing wrong with the noseart. Is there any guides on adding art to a skin or template? Is this something I have to start from stratch.

Screencapture: Hit Print Screen and look in the IL-2 folder. there you'll have one or more TGA files. Open them in Photoshop and save them as JPG to post them here.

Which aricraft are you trying to add noseart to?
In which folder do you place the noseart?
Can you post the bmp file here? maybe that also tells us what might be wrong.

The noseart I would to add is this.


Prior to the noseart the plane looks like this.


After the art its this. (Notice the noseart on the tail )


The same noseart works if in the noseart folder and applied via the drop down tab in the game.

I would like to add this art to all the planes I fly online without painting from a void if I can.

Can I just add a layer to the finished skin? If so how?

Thank you for help me with this.

Looks like you loaded the finished bitmap into the skins folder the wrong way mate, check its the same as the rest
