Guest ufoidentifier Posted April 22, 2007 Posted April 22, 2007 Is it hard to upgrade(or make) skins, how can I go about making say su-33 into "black plane"?
Deadman Posted April 22, 2007 Posted April 22, 2007 Go to http://www.lockonfiles.com/index.php there may all ready be what you looking for under downloads skins SU 33 or other. for tutorials on how to make skins http://www.simmerspaintshop.com/index.php?page=home https://forum.dcs.world/topic/133818-deadmans-cockpit-base-plans/#comment-133824 CNCs and Laser engravers are great but they can't do squat with out a precise set of plans.
Guest ufoidentifier Posted April 22, 2007 Posted April 22, 2007 Cool thx. Ok found this skin http://www.lockonfiles.com/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=search&query=#searchresults 29OVT, but how do i install it? The only folder containing Mig29A is Missions/Quickstart but theres just 1 file there with 29A. sory link doesn't seem to work, just search for OVT there.
SuperKungFu Posted April 22, 2007 Posted April 22, 2007 are you sure you downloaded a skin file, sounds to me you downloaded a mission file. Go to the skin section in lockonfiles, there's plenty of it. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Guest ufoidentifier Posted April 22, 2007 Posted April 22, 2007 Yes i'm pretty sure its a skin Any suggestions?
SuperKungFu Posted April 22, 2007 Posted April 22, 2007 ok once you unzip it, you see 2 zipped files in it. This allows you to choose which res you want it in 1024 hi-res, 2048 very hi-res (not really necessary). Pick one, and just install it through modman 5. You don't need to unzip it, just load it into modman and press install. Simple as that. In the future it might be wise for you to do some research on how to convert it to cdds format to save some fps, but get use to installing it into lock on for now. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Guest ufoidentifier Posted April 22, 2007 Posted April 22, 2007 Tried it - it said files succesfully installed(or whatever) but there aren't any migs with this skin in the game tried 29A 29C. Which option to install it through add-on maker or add=on manager? and whats recursive directory do i need that?
Brit_Radar_Dude Posted April 23, 2007 Posted April 23, 2007 After you installed the skin with Modman, it should jhave replaced one of the default skins that come with Lockon. Did you use the Mission Editor to select a different skin? Once you are in the Mission Editor and looking at a particular mission, choose your aircraft, click the PAYLOAD button, now you can swap weapon loadout, set fuel levels, pick a skin, change aircraft number......

Thank you so much thank you!!! It was quite foolish of me not to try out the mission editor:doh: , thx it works great just shame its not the real Mig29OVT model. Thx.
Brit_Radar_Dude Posted April 24, 2007 Posted April 24, 2007 Heh, heh, no worries. I can remember the first time I tried to use a skin I had added with Loman/Modman, it took me ages to figure it out..... [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Sorry Death, you lose! It was Professor Plum....
