For what game files does Moding using [user]\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\ work for?

[jib]

 I can put some files in \Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Mods\aircraft\ and it changes them in the game.

 

but if I try to say mod the texture on a old aircraft by using: \Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Bazar\World\textures\WorldTexturesBMP1.zip

 

then it doesn't seem to work for me.

 

Are there restrictions on which folder can be modified with though the saved games file area?

 

or am I just doing something Wrong?

I wish I could give you a definite answer and we've been asking questions like that for some time.  The unfortunate reality is it's trial and error.

 

Some things will work from saved games and some things will not.  I can tell you with reasonable confidence that database items, both before and after they were hidden, will not work from saved games.
