Question: SU-33 Livery method of installing skins

[arraamis]

Has the current release discarded the use of older skin files for the SU-33??

Current version: 1.2.7.23803

 

No matter what I try, nothing appears to work .....

 

 

Here's what I have inside the livery folder's description.lua:

 

livery = {

{"texture Su-33-SKIN-L-01.bmp f2 g0", 0, "su-33-skin-l-01.bmp.dds",false};

{"texture SU-33-SKIN-R-01.bmp f2 g0", 0, "su-33-skin-r-01.bmp.dds",false};

{"texture rus-pilot-2.bmp f2 g0",0,"greek-pilot-ru.bmp.dds",false};

{"texture nomera.tga f2 g0",0,"empty.tga",false};

{"texture nomera-red.tga f2 g0",0,"empty.tga",false};

}

name = "SU33_Arra"

countries = {

"RUS",

}

 

What I used as a guide: (Thanks to =GR=VAGGOS)

For the SU-33 ED still uses the old model from LOC K ON FC1.1 & FC2 (and no SU-27 Skins can't be used on SU-33)

The template can be found here http://www.lockonfiles.com/files/file/764-su-33-flanker-x4096-template/ and with some programs such as GIMP or Photoshop you can create your skins.After with a program called DXTBmp you can convert it to DDS format and import it to DCS World.

The LUA that will need is the following:

 

livery = {

{"texture Su-33-SKIN-L-01.bmp f2 g0", 0, "su-33-skin-l-01.bmp.dds", false},

{"texture SU-33-SKIN-R-01.bmp f2 g0", 0, "su-33-skin-r-01.bmp.dds", false},

{"texture rus-pilot-2.bmp f2 g0",0,"greek-pilot-ru.bmp.dds",false};

{"texture nomera.tga f2 g0",0,"empty.tga",false};

{"texture nomera-red.tga f2 g0",0,"empty.tga",false};

}

name = " MY SKIN "

countries = {

"RUS",

}

 

THANKS in advance !!!!!

Hey. In version 1.2.7 uses a new model Su 33. Here is an example description of the new skin.

Thanks Much!!!

 

Sadly, I figured that was the case, when it stubbornly wouldn't display my skin.

 

I guess I have to take up the long, dreary process of tracing the new skins for a template.:(
