AI Livery problem in Multiplayer

[Andartu]

Hello everyone.

 

Me and a friend have a problem regarding the visibility of liveries of AI flights. We fly on his server. 

 

We have several liveries made by myself or from the user files for us and AI flights like the tanker, or some aircraft of the military aircraft and the civil aircraft mod. 

 

The liveries attached to our own planes work fine, of course we both have them installed, all good.

 

However the ones of the AI craft don`t show up. DCS only provides the default liveries. Also here of course both of us have them installed. In a desperate thought we also installed them to the server, while I believe this is actually not necessary. Only clients need to have them as far as I know.

 

Anyways, it does not work. Only default liveries on the tanker and several others I made skins for.

 

No problem in single player.

 

Anybody?

Installing it on the server should have done the trick. It actually doesn't even need the texture files, it just requires the description.lua in the correct location for it to work. What is happening is if you have a mission file with X custom livery set for an AI, the server loads the mission, looks for X, can't find it, and then chooses a default livery for that aircraft. Same thing happens locally if you a miz looking for liveries you don't have.
