Is there anywhere to download the base skins to modify?

I don't want to do anything too fancy, just edit the skin that the campaign mode gives me to personalize them a bit. Can they be opened and edited anywhere?

I don't want the full templates, I can't save them properly.

Have you looked at data/graphics/skins?

That's just for downloaded skins, at least that's all that's in mine, it's empty.

Versteh´ ich nicht...

Du kannst die "Official Paint Schemes" im Spiel verwenden und im Spiel vor dem Start der Mission in gewissem Rahmen individualisieren. Also Buchstaben, Zahlen und Symbole hinzufügen.

Wenn dir das nicht reicht, kannst du deine eigenen Kreationen erstellen. Dazu kannst Du entweder ein vorhandenes skin-file modifizieren oder dein eigenes mithilfe eines Templates erstellen. Die schmeißt Du dann in den entsprechenden Ordner unter dem weiter oben genannten Dateipfad. Im Spiel kannst Du diese dann unter "Custom Paint Schemes" auswählen. 

Mehr isses eigentlich nicht.

If you can't open and save templates how do you plan to edit files?

Because my computer is apparently retarded and won't save templates I've edited, but the skins I've downloaded and edited it will.

Yes, but the numbers are in the wrong places historically, you can't add personal color anywhere, or names, or kill markings, or anything else. Especially on the 109s the 'customization' of editing the in-game markings is laughably bad.

Ach, aus der Ecke weht der Wind...

"Historisch korrekte" Skins gibt es in Hülle und Fülle. Herunterladen, in die entsprechenden Ordner schmeißen, fertig.

Was die Qualität der vom Spiel erzeugten Markierungen angeht, solltest Du dich vertrauensvoll an die Spieleentwickler wenden. Die sehen sich das Thema bestimmt ganz genau an.

The skins are in the .gtp files, which have to be unpacked using unGTP.  Some are in the skins.gpt and some in camo.gtp.  When you unpack the .gtp files, the data all goes into a (null) folder in your data folder.
