F-16 homage skin for the Hornet (available for download)

[nukemgood]

This makes the Hornet look like the F-16C (screenshots below).

For those who want to make the F-15C look like the F-15E Strike Eagle, I did a simple reskin:

Great skin. Good work!

Took me a bit to figure out where to put this file so figured I'd throw this up because it might assist someone else. I didn't have any other skins so an F-18 file in my Liveries didn't exist. You will need to manually add these file names if you don't have them then just drop nukemgood's file directly into the folder below and unzip it and you should be good to go.

Pardon my ignorance.

 

Is this skin just a paint job, or it supposed to look like an F-16.

 

I put it into C:\Users\YourName\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Liveries\FA-18C_hornet

 

I can go into rearm/refuel and change my livery to the F-16, but aircraft still looks like an F-18.

 

Am I doing something wrong, or just misunderstanding what this is?

 

Not good with mod stuff. Help appreciated.

It's just a paint job to look like an F16 paint job. It doesn't "transform" your jet into an F16 Viper. It's just for looks.

Thanks.

 

 

I thought I was doing it wrong.

I am using the steam-version of DCS and my folder

C:\Users\Tiramisu\Saved Games\DCS

does not contain any livery folder. Any ideas how I can install modded liveries on my PC?

 

 

Edit: Never mind, I have found it in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\DCSWorld\Bazar\Liveries

good skin for those who are using the Hornet as a F16 viper stand in until the day that actually gets completed ;)

 

Although the logo should be changed to display USAF instead of Navy in that case
