Few skin/mod questions

[Seaside]

Hi: I'm just trying to learn mission editor - and Hornet :)

Have a few questions.

 

I want to place a couple of civilian ships. The only ships like that are in Russian inventory that I can see.

I want the ships to show up under Blue control or neutral. Are there other ship mods for civilian ships ? or is the only way to place these ships to move Russia to Blue side in mission editor ?

 

Also I saw a skin for an Iranian F-14 on youtube. I've looked under user files in DCS download section and to not see the skin. Is there another major library for skins and mods online ?

 

 

And finally, do any of the MOD managers work with DCS 2.5 beta yet ? such as JSMGE etc. ?

 

I don't have much space in c: so would like find an easy way to install MODS and SKINS on my E drive.

 

Thanks

When you enter the mission editor, click "new" and move the USAF Aggressors from neutral to blue. This "country" has access to every unit in the game. :thumbup:

 

JSGME and OVGME work, but are largely unnecessary for additional units etc. as they go in a different directory and don't affect integrity check. Any modifications to main game directory files will require removal before joining a server with IC on, though, so if you're planning on any of that definitely grab a manager.

 

If you need saved games on a different drive, you can create a link with Windows.

Anyone know where I might find the F-14 skin ?

 

I saw it on growling sidewinders' site.

The flyable module is, but he was probably showing skins for the in-game F-14A, which is currently an AI aircraft.
