Ryanwtod Posted October 31, 2020 Posted October 31, 2020 Hey guys, It's finally clicking and I'm starting to really get into DCS. I did want to download some skins though. How do I go about "installing" them?
Weegie Posted October 31, 2020 Posted October 31, 2020 To load skins go to C:\Users"YourName"\Saved Games\DCS*\ *or DCS.openbeta In there should be a folder called Liveries, (if there isn't just make it) inside that folder should be aircraft names for all the aircraft in DCS. There may not be, if there isn't then you'll need to make the subfolder Below are 2 pictures of my Liveries folder with the aircraft names, you need to use the exact folder name for the module or it won't work. You can also see that you use the Liveries folder for placing in different custom cockpits too. Anyway after the folder for the module is made place the folder containing the skin files into the module folder and it should show up in the game. One caveat, if the decription.lua file for the skin contains certain country names specified, the skin will only show up when that country is selected for the aircraft in the mission editor. If in doubt select US or Russia in the ME. If there is a country specified specifically for the skin it usually it contains the US or Russia (but not always) depending on the module. Hope that helps
