First results:

Install with JSGME or OvGME (into your SavedGames folder). Basically variations of the Green nazi skin from the great template by Warlord64 made for a mission that still needs finishing .. Download (liveries only): https://www.mediafire.com/file/9h38cwui4t36ji9/Junkers_88a4_JJ.zip/file PS it's a large 400MB file, and i tested them in the latest 2.9 game version, you'll need Normandy 2.0: Junkers_88_skin tester 01_jj.miz AND the ww2 assets pack, BTW right now on sale ... ADDED: FILES UPDATED nov 2023 ! .. some fixes ...

Yep, and there are more files it seems ... just got it to work with Palemoon and GetThemAll addon plugin. Funny enough Firefox blocks the first post link, not the second.

3 years later, but my FTP program asks for a user ID and password. My DCS ones won't work however.

well, tested this one does not fly at all.

I got it working, the skins in it are a bit simple, 2k, useful however. Found no PSD template yet with some wireframe for easier skinning. Must come to grips with that ModelView tool, can only see the edm or lod files there, no livery.

OK, been in contact with Hawkeye60 about an old game 1.5 Heinkel H111 he's working on for 2.9 already, thanks again, you Saved my Game day.

Thanks, i understood that (some?) added plane mods by 3rd parties only work from within the main game folder, In my case called DCS World OpenBeta instead of DCS .openbeta. No workaround for this licensing error? Should these planes go into my Saved Games\ DCS .openbeta instead? Could not get them to work from there still. I'd love to get that Fieseler Storch working! I just got a Stuka working from there ... so i think so?

BTW i just tried to abandon JSGME for DCS and adapt to Open Mod Manager, v1.1.1, gave up, too figgin' complicated, but have OvGME running now. Made separate installation presets for the savedgames and one for the main game mods folder as i understood only works with 3rg party aircraft. Only now i get this error starting DCS OpenBeta: PS how do you enter a description in OvGM for the selected mod? Thnx.

General stupid questions; i guess the P51 once installed is no more? Guess the flight properties are similar to the p51, as the F4U was supposedly a 'better' plane?

Just a general remark on pagefile settings i've been using for quite a while regarding professional video and audio work: Turn on Backround services, create a pagefile almost as large as your memory size on a separate (not the boot) drive and leave a page file on your boot drive active for about 200MB. Turn pagefiles OFF (none) for all other drives. (unmark "Automatic manage paging file size ....")

Thanks, tried to set up a livery (skin) but probably did something wrong regarding changing luas and incorporating your dds edited files all in a JSGME file. Probably to do with that weird location in WWII units for the B-17. Had no problems with skins made with Urbi's c47 template and ported into the 'normal' liveries folder with JSGME. Alas i give up now, have to go offline for a while, and experiment on later. I hate that complex livery placement business in DCS. They should redesign this stuff LoL.

Thanks, saw only the json file in your download, but as i am now used to do JSGME installs in to my DCS.openbeta\mods\ ..etc. me thinks i should install the rest too in an adapted version, just to be able to de-install the whole lot more easily? Maybe somewhere here?: Savedgames\DCS.openbeta\Mods\tech\WWII Units\Liveries\B-17G

In need of a full moon for your nightly mission: https://www.fullmoon.info/en/fullmoon-calendar_1900-2050.html

PS in case you need the interior LoL:

Thanks. Can one do this file manhandling via JSGME?

Hoo Boy ... eagerly awaiting! BTW i am currently working on some historic RAF captured He111H16 skin for IL2. Wonder what size your DDS files will be, 4096x4096k ? Split in Body, wings L-R dds files probably? Alas the layout will be different, but i could try to convert elements like a wireframe layer eventually.

ADDED after reading back. It works fine since i moved my 'savedgames' folder from my boot drive and *username* folder to another drive with these tips: when you

Still i would love to see a more clearly visible (switchable) display of airspeed and height, maybe compass and Time acceleration factor. That instead or addition to the L-Cntrl Y.

Thanks, already had that, but i increased curvature now .. set to 63 helps a lot!

Hi Sunstag, thanks for all your works, this link is dead, but can you maybe re-post this or can i find it elsewhere?

Thanks ... i'll start making some skins for it after that. ADDED, just finished a historical He111H16 for IL2, first captured by the USAAF, then re-captured by the UK and transferred and now in the RAF museum.

i use this to set time and date to get an 'enlightning' full moon in IL2 Great Battles, maybe it works in DCS ? https://www.fullmoon.info/

PS a (stupid of course) question: Why are older (plane) mods not working and what file types have changed?

aha, thanks, i'll take a dive into GvGME then ....
