There is a new location you can place all your skins. Just create folders following the structure here:

 

C:/Users/name/Saved Games/DCS World/Liveries/MiG-21Bis

 

You can create a folder for each of the modules you have, but just make sure the name convention follows the one in the Bazar/Liveries folder, and either one will work.

Thanks for the reply , so if I put all my skins here , does it get deleted with every update , user saved games folder , or with it stay in tact

I guess they shouldn't get deleted, but If You're worried about such scenario (or about anything bad happening to C: partition while DCS is installed in other one), you can always create folder for skins the "old way", in DCS World/Bazar/Liveries location. This option works as well.

The whole point of using the saved games folder is that it is unaffected by upgrades.

 

Although, I have always found that even with them in the main folder directory, they remain in place, although of course upgrades may affect them in either location as far as the MiG-21 is concerned because they are currently updating the external model I believe.

 

I personally keep missions separated from the main directory too.

Well i tried the C:/Users/name/Saved Games/DCS World/Liveries/MiG-21Bis.

method and that didn't work for me , but the normal way did . DCS World/Bazar/Liveries/MiG-21Bis , through JSGME thanks for your reply's i have the bunny skin working .

You did change "name" to your own installation's naming I presume?

Has anyone actually dove into the game's folder structure? You can place them here too:

 

x:\xxx\CoreMods\aircraft\MiG-21BIS\Liveries\MiG-21Bis

x:\xxx\CoreMods\aircraft\MiG-21BIS\Liveries\MiG-21Bis

 

It can work, but some MP servers check the CoreMods folder (default check path), so put the skin in that folder may meet trouble in MP.

 

Another way is to put it under x:\xxx\Mods\aircraft\MiG-21BIS\Liveries\MiG-21Bis, if MP server doesnot check this folder x:\xxx\Mods\aircraft\MiG-21BIS

I was having similar problem. Skins disapire from editor even core one.

Problem was when I was packing some skin in to zip file I leave it in liveries folder. That zip file cause all problems with skins.

 

When I was remove that zip file everithing start to work normal again.

I wonder if it's possible to remove the default skin

The skin i have for Spitfire it's working only when i use custom missions, bun not for Instant Action / Create fast mission

Yes, over-write the livery files in the zip file within the texture folder. The file names must match.
