LUA Livery Countries

[DHesquire]

Hi all,

 

 

Quick one from me - I've downloaded some fictional liveries for F-15C but I want to change them to their proper countries in the menu. I've tried this with an RAF one for example but as soon as I add the code it disappears altogether and doesn't show up in the UK section. Is there something else I have to do?

 

Code example:

name = "1 Sqn"

countries = {"UK"}

 

Many thanks :thumbup:

countries is a table/list of entries so eg:

 

countries = {"UK","USA","AUS"} gives you the skin under UK, Australia and US force pools assuming the aircraft is available to that country.

 

Is the F-15C a plane you can choose for the UK in the mission editor?

 

If not then it's quite a bit more work to add an aircraft to a country and you'll need to mod some other lua files internal to the game. It's definitely doable but not controlled by the livery. A search in the mods or mission builder sub forums should turn up past posts. Ideally you'd make it a JSGME mod so you could easily turn it on and off and not get clobbered by DCS updates.

Hi Stonehouse many thanks for your input - no F-15's are under the UK by default so I think you're right there. I'll have another dig and see what I can find now I know more about what to look for :)

If the aircraft isn't usually under a country by default, add a cnt_unit line to DCS World\Scripts\Database\db_countries based off what the other lines around it are like :)
