Anyone know why I cannot mark up the sidewalls of the tires? I'm guessing that it has to to with the texture after blowing out tires, but seems odd that I cant get anything to transition over into the game model from the skin. (only on the tires)

HI Guys. I am having a hard time locating the Cylindrical outer tail hook housing, and the launch bar. Also I can not seem to find where to mark on the sidewall of the tires, it almost seems like what I think is the tire skin gets overwritten with a default black rubber. Can anyone help point me in the right direction to find these in the template? Thanks

Shank09 is up on the DCS site. Thanks guys for the assist. Was fun, and a great way for me to dive back into skinning so I am ready for the hornet :) https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3131476/

My skin is nearing completion, just need a few more tweaks. Was trying to mimic this 1991 scheme, getting close. I am curious about the very helpful files linked in this thread from 59 Ravens and Home fries. (really wish I had found these a few days ago lol) May we use these if we want to release a skin for public download, if giving you fellas credit? They are insanely helpful, but I don't want to step on any toes. Thanks

That awkward moment that I've spent 2 hours doing markings on my skin, then I realize this thread was here with all of them I need... >:D

That is precisely what I did DrPhibes! I have not worked with Alpha channels before, will need to read up a bit, but so glad you guys have isolated my issue, Thanks Guys!

Tried that first and all I got was Dark Blocks over where the numbers should of been. I must have screwed something up, will try it again that way next time. Thanks!

Found my own work-around just after posting this. If anyone wanders in looking for the same: The Default skin VMA-311D used a darker Bort number for the tail, it actually has 2 differant tail number dds files in the skin, the darker being named " AV8_TNumbers_VMA311D1 " I copied that Tail number dds and moved into my skin folder, renaming it to overwrite the existing tail number dds. Did just what I needed. However, if there is a better way, for future reference, I'm all ears Thanks!

Hi Skinners, I have looked through some threads and Can't seem to find how I can Darken the bort numbers, The default color of them dosent have enough contrast with the skin I'm working on. Any quickj and dirty way to darken the numbers used via the Description.lua or by changing the Tail-number .dds? Thanks!

I am A fool. Throttle was mapped to a slider in axis that I was not aware of..... Doh! Thanks for the help Tholozor

Any Huey experts? I am baffled.. Suddenly my Huey throttle is kicking back down to 50% or less, seems random and autonomous... Any help? Example video of it here... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxC7RsdQT_E I thought maybe it was EGT but I have been flying with the EGT system for a couple weeks now, and this has just cropped up today. Even happens if I'm on the ramp with chopper cold and dark (I watch the throttle rotation) Thanks!

Hi Guys! I know Dragon is no longer supporting his mission packs, so I would ask the community, Am I correct in thinking that his JTAC Training map is not working in 1.5.5.6xxx? I can't get em to answer and just want to make sure I am not crazy? Anyone suggest a good map that has some working JTACs on it so I can better myself? Thanks all!

Forcing the update mad the fix, Thanks Ranger, can't wait to enjoy the campaign

looks like version 1.5.5.60338 I will try the manual update

Mission one, no voice overs will trigger after the 1st waypoint. Radios are tuned, Sam picture is briefed before take off, I await wingmen at 1, have them formed up while we head to other waypoints, Make sure they all fly right through the WPs. I watched videos and do it exactly the same as them, but I hit my altitudes and speeds more precise. any ideas guys? Im about to put 3 rounds through my monitor in anger. -Edit - just tried it for the 10th time, I'm pulling my hair out. Someone tell me what I am doing wrong? (can Fast forward past the non pertinient stuffs) -------> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXgCLuzxWy0 at 19:05 the Tad goes a little wonky as ship 4 passes through the WP, not sure if that has to do with anything Looks like a couple posts from a few months ago talking about a patch breaking the campaign, is that still an issue ?

Hi Snacko! I Am really considering this purchase, but I also play other games like FPS with mouse and keyboard, That tray looks a little small. Do you feel like it has enough room and is sturdy enough to comfortably play other games when not flying? Or surf the web, answer emails, Ect? It looks like the unmodded tray can by default be "swung" in and out? thanks!

I think it was the QNH setting, for whatever reason my Mission (Practice) started on the climb-out after takeoff and the setting was a few click off. I adjusted and took my time, got though it just fine. Great post about the difference in the Altimeter settings. Thanks again!

Hello, Enjoying the challenge! I keep getting terminated for altitude on my first final approach. I seem to be mimicking Recon Stewarts Vid, am and locked in at 2500ft, with my speed and heading also within parameters. Any Idea what I am Missing?

I just pulled a template out of the game files, it was in DCS World 2 OpenAlpha\Mods\aircraft\M-2000C\Liveries\M-2000C

got tired of not having a US Mirage, so tried my hand at a skin convert, it's over on LOF

This took a minn for me to figure out as well, set your country as France for the plane :) That fixed it for my Mirage, not sure about the other planes though. Now - Anyone know the filenames for the .dds They are using for the 2000c?? I can't find the skins and want to mod in my pilot name and a couple other tweaks, are they not available yet? EDIT *** Nevermind, found em

So Excited, A question though. I re-bought all my DCS content through Steam a while back on a re-install as I had a mix of steam and ED stuff and It was hard to get em to play together. A clan-mate told me he thought DCS was killing they're "contract" with steam, and I should just get everything on ED again? Anyone shed some light on this? Will Nevada map, and DCS 2.0 not be offered on Steam? IF it will is there a release date? Thanks, And can't with to Bomb all those smelly hippies at burning man!

Doveman I am getting the exact same issue as you, but for me in DCS Huey. Lemme know If you make any headway

Still get 8-13 FPS on the lift and hover tutorial, and at the end of the first campaign mission.. Landing with 8fps after 30 min flight is NOT FUN! I just don't understand it. My rig should be capable of delivering acceptable frames. here is what I have tried added the .dlls to the bin like mustang said, no change unchecked FF no change turned off tsaa and msaa to 2x, no change uncheck run full screen, no change. CCC is all on use application settings Game is thru steam, on an SSD that only has a couple other games on it. i5 2500 (not K sadly) intel DP67DE mobo 16 gigs ram xfx 7990 windows 7 64bit DCS A10c always ran fine back when, as well as BS, I really enjoy the huey but want to enjoy it with playable frames all the time, not just when Im far away from populated airbases. I'll buy whatever I haveto in order to enjoy it, who has a config that is smooth all the time? Is the i5 the problem perhaps? Should I sell my 7990 and get a titan instead? DAVESGAMINGRIG.txt
