Missing F-15C Skin?

[Baz000]

the only WA tailcode F-15C's I have in my game are USAF aggressor skins... But yet, there is this skin shown on the background when loading a mission...

 

I am using FC3 steam version of 1.5.7

I wonder if its because its really a user made skin and not one from FC3???

The way the F-15 textures are set up, you can create that skin by creating a folder in liveries with the name of the skin, then creating a file called description.lua with the following contents:

livery = {
{"f15nose", 0 ,"f15_nose",true};
{"f15nose", 3 ,"f15_decol1",true};
{"f15bottom", 0 ,"f15_bottom",true};
{"f15bottom", 3 ,"f15_decol1",true};
{"f15centr", 0 ,"f15_centr",true};
{"f15wingl", 0 ,"f15_wing_l",true};
{"f15wingl", 3 ,"f15_decol1",true};
{"f15wingr", 0 ,"f15_wing_r",true};
{"f15stab", 0 ,"f15_stab_v",true};
{"f15stab", 3 ,"f15_decol1",true};
{"f15numbers", 0 ,"f15_numbers",true};
{"pilot_F15_patch", 0 ,"pilot_F15_patch_65A_sqdn",true};
{"pilot_F15_00_body", 0 ,"pilot_f15_00_a",true};
{"f15PTB", 0 ,"f15_PTB",true};
}

countries = {"USA"}

No additional textures required!

so, what you are saying is that ED created the skin but it was never added to the list of skins in the mission editor?

Not at all. I'm saying that the F-15C uses a decal system, so you can use the standard skin with one of the WA decals to get the F-15 you see on the loadscreen.
