How to get old 1.2 cockpit retextures working in 1.5

[Ripcord03]

I've been seeing a lot of questions on how to get older cockpit mods like Ricardo's Horse of War, or Skulleader's P-51D Cockpit, or even the Modified F-86 ADI working in DCS 1.5 so I've decided to post a How To for everyone.

 

Its actually really simple, the Devs removed 2 folders from the file path for cockpit textures.

 

so you have a ZIP file with the textures in it for example the A-10C:

 

zip file is named: A_10C_C_EDM_TEX.zip

 

and in 1.2 the folder structure to get to it was

 

"...\Mods\aircraft\A-10C\Cockpit\Resources\Model\Textures"

 

(the ... being the path to your DCS Install)

 

now in 1.5 they removed the Folders "Resources" and "Model"

 

so now your 1.5 path for cockpit textures looks like this:

 

"...\Mods\aircraft\A-10C\Cockpit\Textures"

 

to replace the cockpit texture you just place the zip file in the new file path, or if you are using JSGME simply change the folder structure inside the texture mods folder.

 

so for Ricardo's horse of war using JSGME instead of:

 

"...\_Mods\Horse Of War\Mods\aircraft\A-10C\Cockpit\Resources\Model\Textures"

 

its:

 

"...\_Mods\Horse Of War\Mods\aircraft\A-10C\Cockpit\Textures"

 

Its the same for all planes, the F-15 and other flaming cliffs planes are all under:

"...\Mods\aircraft\Flaming Cliffs\Cockpit\Textures"
