Creating & assigning pilot patches for liveries

[Flogger23m]

Working on some liveries/skins and the final thing I need to work on are the pilots. One skin is for the F-15, the other for the Su-27.

 

I am wondering where I can find the templates for the pilots for both of these planes? If there are no templates, how must I edit them? I have Photoshop CS2 & DXTBmp (can also use GIMP).

 

For the time being, my F-15 livery has "warning missing text" errors where the patches should be. I noticed that the 19th Fighter SQN (AK) livery that ships with DCS has a pilot with no patches. How would I be able to assign this pilot to my livery?

 

My current description.lua looks like the following:

 

livery = {

{"f15nose", 0 ,"f15_nose",false};

{"f15nose", 3 ,"f15_decol_empty",true};

{"f15bottom", 0 ,"f15_bottom",false};

{"f15bottom", 3 ,"f15_decol_empty",true};

{"f15centr", 0 ,"f15_centr",false};

{"f15wingl", 0 ,"f15_wing_l",false};

{"f15wingl", 3 ,"f15_decol_empty",true};

{"f15wingr", 0 ,"f15_wing_r",false};

{"f15stab", 0 ,"f15_stab_v",false};

{"f15stab", 3 ,"f15_decol_empty",true};

{"f15numbers", 0 ,"f15_decol_empty",true};

{"pilot_F15_patch", 0 ,"pilot_f15_patch",false};

{"pilot_F15_00_body", 0 ,"pilot_f15_00_a",true};

{"f15PTB", 0 ,"f15_PTB",false};

}

name = "X"

countries = {"USA","ISR"}

 

Any help would be appreciated.
