fixed GDR Livery Available for Germany but not the GDR

[Northstar98]

Hi Everyone,

 

Minor issue, but the GDR (East German) livery for the MiG-15bis is only available for Germany (i.e West/Unified Germany), and not the GDR.

 

It's a very easy fix, simply navigate to the main DCS World installation -> CoreMods -> aircraft -> MiG-15bis -> Liveries -> MiG-15bis -> GDR_Air_Force and edit the description.lua file inside with Notepad++

 

You want to edit the last line: countries = {"GER",} and replace the 'E' with a 'D' so it reads countries = {"GDR",}

 

I've attached a modified description.lua file, altering the countries line, all you need to do is replace the current description.lua file with this one, placing it in the folder described above.

Yes, but unfortunately every DCS update will revert the changes to the lua, doesn't it?

 

This is something (very simple) that ED should fix once and for all.

Correct, this is why I have a folder in my user area with the full path, so all I have to do is copy one folder into the main DCS installation and everything will be corrected.

 

I do the same thing for default payloads, templates, even default countermeasure programs and even some names, the way I have it set-up it only takes a few seconds every time DCS updates/repairs.

The MiG-15bis module was released several years before GDR faction was added into DCS.
Back then "Germany" was the natural choice for a GDR livery. Good that it got reported.

The same can be said for numerous liveries that should be available for the USSR, but are only available to Russia.

This was fixed recently.

For older missions, it is necessary to re-select the proper livery and re-save the mission.
