Problem installing Hornet's Liveries

[CucoNegron6924]

Hi, not a newby, but very old and somewhat stupid. I have tried to install a couple of liveries for the Hornet found in ED's site. The authors said to install them in:

/Saved Games/DCS.<Install>/Liveries/FA-18C_hornet/, I assumed <install> means "DCS Worls openbeta". I have been installing a few skins for the UH-1H and for the P-51D and I have allways installed in C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Bazar\Liveries\ and then UH-1D P-51D and f_a-18c for the hornet. Then, when I go to the Mission Editor, the Hornet's newly installed liveries are not there.

 

 

Anybody has any clues as to what I've been doing wrong? Because I don't know what I'm doing... wrong!!!

 

 

Thanks in advance,

Your not stupid, but the liveries can be installed in different location. The Bazaar route is 'inside' the game. In saved games, they are 'outside' the game. The idea is that if the game updates and Bazaar gets overwritten, it could be curtains for some of the liveries.

So, some time back it was suggested to use, In my case, C:\user\your user name\saved games\DCS Open Beta\MODS\Aircraft\a folder with your aircraft ie FA-18C\liveries...you stick all the liveries in that folder, I have zillions.

Some authors tell you to put the liveries in bazaar, fine, I still do that if told. But for extra aircraft such as Markindels He-111. I put the whole heinkel folder under Aircraft. In the Heinkel folder this is a liveies, I stick them all in there.

I also back up the whole 'saved games' folder every couple of months.

I didn't find it simple at first either

/Saved Games/DCS.<install>/Liveries/FA-18C_hornet/

 

<install> is usually openbeta for OB.

 

So:

/Saved Games/DCS.openbeta/Liveries/FA-18C_hornet

Thanks for your reply, Flyingscotsman and SkateZilla. The thing is that under my \Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\ there is no subdirectory named "\Liveries\FA-18C_Hornet" to copy the skins to. In the directory where ED installed DCS.openbeta\Bazar there is a "Livery\f_a-18c" wich is where I have been copying the liveries I have downloaded for the Hornet. So, should I create a subdirectory "\Liveries\FA-18C_Hornet" to copy the skins? Please advice. Thanks again gentlemen, for your help with this problem.

Yes, Create the /Saved Games/DCS.openbeta/Liveries/FA-18C_hornet/ folder.

 

Bazar/Liveries/f_a-18c/ is for the old 3D Model.

Thanks, SkateZilla, will try it right now.

Thwnks again, SkateZilla and Flyingscotsman, your solution worked like a charm!!! Now, should I do the same with the Huey and the P-51D skins.

Pretty much all mods go in the saved games folder.
