Aircraft skins

How can I install a skin on my F5-E?

The skin folder goes to

 

C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta (or OpenAlpha depending on which version you're using\CoreMods\aircraft\F-5E\Liveries\F-5E-3

/Saved Games/DCS.<INSTALL>/Mods/aircraft/F-5E/Liveries/F-5E-3/

Using OvGME to place them into

/Saved Games/DCS.<INSTALL>/Mods/aircraft/F-5E/Liveries/F-5E-3/

 

Isnt working. They dont show as selectable in the ME.

You dont need to use OvGME for liveries, that utility is for activating/deactivating MODs that have to be within the Program Files' DCS Folder.

 

 

Just put the folder with the livery files on the Saved Games/ .. /F-5E-3 folder and it should show in the Mission Editor (assuming that the livery is for the country that your aircraft belongs).

Gotcha. Even so, manually placing the skins into the Users Saved Games... didnt show either. Only the old way of in the CoreMods.

It should work ... here is a more detailed explanation of how DCS looks for files first on "saved games" and after on "program files":

In my case, since I have three installs of DCS (1.5 Stable, 1.5 Open Beta and 2.1 Open Alpha) I use the mklink trick mentioned on that thread, to point to a single folder for my liveries, thus saving a lot of hard drive space by not having triplicated skins.

 

 

 

Hope you can get this to work. Best regards.
