Battlefield Modding Tutorials BFMODS

With this map I'm working on I found some cool skins I'd like to use. A couple of which is for a green aichi/zero.

I downloaded the zip files, extracted the .dds files. I extracted textures.rfa to the desktop (to make SURE i had the right file structure), deleted the files then threw the customs in. I named it textures_005.rfa, load the game...and.....nada.

The first thing I tried doing was adding it to the map's rfa file structure (textures folder), but that didn't work so I tried the above.

Thoughts?

im not very good at this but in my custom map i have one textures folder and one texture folder. so my plane skins are in bf1942\Levels\rocket_sea\Texture\Pacific
i guess there need to be some pointers to it tho.

Do you have to have \Pacific in the file path if it is in the pacific theater? I assumed if it wasn't it would just override the old texture files anyhow..
