Hi guys,

 

I am creating Finnish cockpit textures for MiG-21 Bis and was wondering if it is possible display custom cockpit textures when user selects a Finnish Mig-21 livery from the options. My cockpit textures with Finnish labels work when russian cockpit language is selected from the options and people who fly online can't switch from russia to english if they switch from MiG-21 to for example A-10C. There is no option to do this while flying online. I would like to make my cockpit mod independent from the cockpit language options since there is no option for Finnish. Any ideas?

 

Thanks!

I tried to edit the description.lua in the \DCS World OpenBeta\CoreMods\aircraft\MiG-21BIS\Liveries\MiG-21Bis\HavLLv 31 - Finland -folder but no luck.

What about copying cockpit texture dds to corresponding livery folder and merge the two lua files to make the cockpit determined by skin? Don't know whether this would work.

I tried it but it didn't seem to work.

This is how my description.lua in the \DCS World OpenBeta\CoreMods\aircraft\MiG-21BIS\Liveries\MiG-21Bis\HavLLv 31 - Finland -folder looks like.

 

My custom textures are unzipped in the folder mentioned above.

 

All cockpit textures are displayed orange and I can't see my custom textures :(

 

Anyone?

I honestly thought that would work; but perhaps the livery system only cares about external defined materials.

 

I wonder how the Sabre is different. Some people managed to do this with F-86:

I think it may have something to do with the loadorder.

 

Try putting the Finland livery into Mods/aircraft/MiG-21/Liveries instead.

 

I believe Mods is loaded after CoreMods. Thus, the cockpit livery list is loaded AFTER the external livery.

I removed my modifications from the coremods directory and copied the Finnish livery folder to Mods/aircraft/MiG-21/Liveries. Still no luck. Hmm. I wonder if some of the description.lua files in the liveries folder override my file.
