Change Aircraft Skins in "Instant Action"

[Bob1943]

Is there any way to select a custom skin when flying "Instant Action" scenarios?

 

The only place that seems to offer skin options is the "Mission Editor".

Try hitting back slash, F8, ask ground crew to refuel, rearm.

As my fellow Florida pilot said. Just expanding a little as it's something I checked out and first learned being new to DCS. Actually, I wanted some kind of load-out also.

 

 

Here's what I do:

 

 

o on the instant action menu choose the aircraft and then the area (mod) to fly in, chose those first.

 

o hopefully you will see a "on the ramp" as a starting point. Not the "cold start" unless you know how to do that.

 

o you have to be at an allied airport/base

 

o once the load is done and your are running and sitting on the ramp, then...

 

o I apply the parking brake on the aircraft (mine is the F/A-18C), keeps you from rolling off, you must be completely stopped for this to work

 

o you MUST OPEN the CANOPY

 

o hit the '\' key to bring up the comm menu

 

o hit the key for main menu

 

o hit the key for ground support

 

o a menu will come up where you can change your livery and load-out

 

o hit OK and and take off (don't forget to release the parking brake or you will blow a tire and 'crash')

 

Enjoy
