For anyone who has downloaded SANDMAN38's fine unmarked Spitfire IXc (CW) skins and are wondering why they don't show up as choices in the Customisation/QMB/FMB menus, they we uploaded as *.gif files instead of *.bmp files. Just rename them ".bmp" and they work fine.

EDIT: I was wrong. It's an 8-bit file so it still won't work. Needs to be 256 colors. It will work if you have a program that will allow you to make the neccesary changes.
Sorry for any inconvienience.

EDIT2: Call me stupid but....(8 bit is 256 colors )
I opened the files in PSP8, increased the image to 16 Million Colors, then decreased it image to 256 colors (8bit) and saved it as a .bmp. They show up fine now.
