Read me file *** RANT***

I was thinking "why didn't the developers just add these "updated" templates with the update? rather than make us place them in the DCS folder?

I finally bothered to track down the original announcement:

 

DEC 16 2016 the Developers said:"

"We uploaded the new layered PSD templates that you can use to create your own textures for F-86F, MiG-15bis, Su-24M, Su-24MR and Su-33 models.

Also C-101 template for creating textures was updated by AvioDev.

You can find them all in our Texture templates DCS site section"

:megalol::megalol::megalol::megalol::megalol:

 

Here I RACKING my brain trying to figure out how the heck I was going to install these "

NEW" textures thinking they were some "UPDATED" view of the planes.!!!

 

It would be nice if these files came with a quick "README" file so I didn't do that , thinking something it isn't .....

 

When others download a map, Campaign, mission ect , I look for a readme file that says"

DCS WORLD:/A: put the file/in/ here/

example, but it never happens......

 

It would be so quick to do, and wouldn't muddle up the forums with Dumb questions!!!!

 

In closing: If we are going to have a download section, and you place your download in the files to be downloaded be others ( because you wanted to share your awesome creation)

 

Why not include a quick note "README" file!!!! ??????????????????????????

 

Thanks

... layered PSD templates ...

 

All the readme I needed. A quick lookup of "psd tempate" would tell you what these files are. :smartass:

 

Of course a readme is never wrong, either.

Hm, well, yeah. But on the other hand ... " use to create your own textures" - what did you think you were going to do with that?

Google the term PEBKAC.

Honestly the easiest way to learn how to name files, place files is to look how ED does it, and then download a few skin mods from the user files to see how they do it. The path has already been blazed for you, just follow it.

Photoshop templates are huge, roughly 1 GiB for the A-4E externals even. I don't want that pushed as part of a game update.
