Installation Problems with Hornet skins

[marcelbrabson]

I have a problem and I'm hoping that one of you guys can help me. I download various Hornet skins download them. And when I go to DCS there not there. This is the way I install

User/Marcel/SavedGames/DCSOpemBeta/Liveries. Now can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I've even downloaded the newest version of DCS World and I saved my Hornet Liveries to file tired to load them and it's the same crap. Please help.

I download various Hornet skins download them. And when I go to DCS there not there.

 

 

1. Save liveries under your: \Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Liveries\FA-18C_hornet\, you will have to make the FA-18C_hornet directory and spell as seen here.
   
2. Copy individual downloaded FA-18c livery folders into the above directory.
   
3. Note inside each Livery folder there must be a description.lua file, some older skins may not have this and will not work unless you make one yourself.
   
4. Load DCS and pick the new livery for your FA-18c and enjoy, Liveries may only be available for countries that use the FA-18c.
   

ie:

Skin Name:= RAAF 2OCU 75 Years (A21-16)

Install Directory: \Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Liveries\FA-18C_hornet\RAAF 2OCU 75 Years (A21-16)\

 

Files in Directory:

 

• Description.lua
  
• F18C_1_DIFF_2OCU_A121-16.dds
  
• F18C_2_DIFF_2OCU_A121-16.dds
  
• FPU_8A_2OCU_A121-16.dds
  
• pilot_F18_patch_2OCU_A21-16.dds

You were probably using the AI F-18 folder, easy mistake to make.
