I think I know why too. I put on a blank custom skin. They look so much better on the track. Won't do it again.

Skins are turned off, so there should be no conflict there.

Did you get the ban message after being shot down? There is a 15 minute kick/ban by the server whenever a player is killed or captured. Once the 15 minute wait is over, you should be able to access the server once again. Occasionly a CRT error will then appear, in which case, exit and restart the game and you are good to go.

I just checked the posted list of players and don't see your name amongst them. You must register for the campaign and then fly under the exact name used as the server will kick anyone who is not in the master list
