Keep all your skins safe

[PhilTheBeat]

Hi,

 

so it will certainly help more than one. If you want to keep all the downloaded liveries safe, even after game reinstall , just create a "Liveries" folder in : C:\Users\XXXl\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Liveries

 

After that create a folder named as the airplane and put your skin in it ;)

 

So to make sure to have the correct writing, we should check in the "CoreMods" folder:

xx:\DCS World OpenBeta\CoreMods\aircraft

 

 

Thanks to @Rudel_chw for the tip.

By “safe”, you mean they will stay there intact, yes?

 

Does DCS then include them as an option in the ME and/or the rearm/refuel request window?

Sorry for my bad english ;)

 

I want to say in case you have to reinstall the game, the folders in "saved games" will be not deleted

 

For your second question...It´s a good one ..I haven´t try this ...Let see.

So for the ME, it´s not working .......

And event with the rearm & refuel options ...So the solution gave by @Rudel_chw is outdated....

My tip is not outdated ... an example:

 

I have a single user-made livery for the MiG-19P, this one, please note the path:

 

 

Now if I go into DCS and try to use it:

 

 

... it doesnt show up on the liveries list ... why? because my user livery is meant for aircrafts of Hungary, and this particular MiG-19 belongs to USAF-agressors.

 

If, on the mission editor, I edit this plane and set its country to Hungary, then:

 

 

... the livery shows up, as expected. The remaining liveries on the list are the standard liveries of the MiG-19 and they live on the /Program Files/DCS/ path ... thus DCS merges on a sngle list both the built-in liveries plus the user-made liveries that are at /Saved Games/

 

Best regards

Yes after a "double check", it works fine ;)

 

Make sure to get the correct named folder as in this directory: xx:\DCS World OpenBeta\CoreMods\aircraft
