I cannot choose livery - what is the problem?

[loscsaba86]

Hello 

I saw on many YouTube videos, that in the Mission Editor, at the Loadout you can choose skin at the paint shemes on the bottom.

But I dont see even, this dropdown menu. Am I wrong?

Thank you for your answers and have a nice day.

Best regards
Csaba

I'd love to help, but there is too little information here to be able to venture a proper answer ... you mean that this dropdown menu does not appear at all? .. or it appears but it's empty?

It happens with every aircraft that you have, or only with a specific one?

Perhaps OP set it to a country without skins available?

Thank you for everyone! I found it with your help. I was just blind. I was looking on the bottom right as in the tutorial videos....
And now I am wondering, how to change the nose number of a MIG-21?

A see just "0100" for nose number and it should be 1904. What should I overwrite?

There is a config file eith a lot of lines:

name = "HunAF 1904 Capeti (51th AB)"

--[[

    "USA", "RUS", "FRA", "UKR", "SPN", "NETH", "TUR", "BEL",

}

Start by editing the Tail Number:

Keep in mind that it's only three digits long, and not all liveries are able to use these so-called "Bort numbers" .. on this particular livery it uses only the last two digits.
