Installation
PWCG is a Java program so you must have [Java] installed. The latest version of Java is still working.
The PWCG download is a zip file. Download it to your BoX installation directory (../1C Game Studios/IL-2 Sturmovik Great Battles/, for example C:/Program Files (x86)/1C Game Studios/IL-2 Sturmovik Great Battles). Unzip the file to your BoX installation directory. PWCG will install itself in a folder called PWCGCampaign. Practice the same for the PWCG archive for Flying Circus.
If you wish to have any details on the use of the game itself, Il2 Great battle user manuals are located here: (https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/76845-il-2-sturmovik-great-battles-manuals-ver-4702c/)
Available Skin Pack
Many skin packs are available for a large amount of data.(http://www.pwcampaignmanager.com/pwcg/pwcgbos/web/PWCGBoS.php)
From the Il2 Great Battle update 5.0.2, the possibility of customizing the markings on all planes was introduced.
This customization is based on historical markings.
On this occasion and with the 14.0.0 version of PWCG, the PWCBlank1 and 2 skin packs were introduced. The "Blank skins" versions of the other planes are then updated progressively.
Here's a recap of the downloadable skin packs by aircraft type:

These skins will then be copied into the corresponding directories of your Il Great battle installation (for example: C: \ Program Files (x86) \ 1C Game Studios \ IL-2 Sturmovik Great Battles \ data \ graphics \ skins) to be used by PWCG.
Each of your future cooperative mission users will have to copy the skins they want to use on their own PCs.
