.tga and .tgb files are copied from F:\'46\PaintSchemes\Cache folder after you have flown a mission with the skin you want to use. You then paste them into F:\'46\files\3do\plane in the appropriate aircraft folder.

Might be easier to backup and clear the cache to do this.
Folders in "cache" follow the same name/number convention of the .bmp skins in "Net Cache" folder.
