Hornetjock Posted January 10, 2022 Posted January 10, 2022 Having trouble finding the correct location and path for loading skins for the Spitfire. I guess you have to unzip them first...then where to place them please?

They should go on folders "SpitfireLFMkIX" and "SpitfireLFMkIXCW", on the path /Saved Games/DCS/Liveries/ For work: iMac mid-2010 of 27" - Core i7 870 - 6 GB DDR3 1333 MHz - ATI HD5670 - SSD 256 GB - HDD 2 TB - macOS High Sierra For Gaming: 34" Monitor - Ryzen 3600 - 32 GB DDR4 2400 - nVidia RTX2080 - SSD 1.25 TB - HDD 10 TB - Win10 Pro - TM HOTAS Cougar Mobile: iPad Pro 12.9" of 256 GB
Hornetjock Posted January 10, 2022 Author Posted January 10, 2022 (edited) Thanks...will try. I think my file name for the Spit is wrong when I look at yours. Edited January 10, 2022 by Hornetjock
Hornetjock Posted January 10, 2022 Author Posted January 10, 2022 Nope...nothing doing. Tried refuel-Rearm in the mission as well as ME. The skins don't show up, although they are downloaded, unzipped and placed as you suggest. Sorry, but any other suggestions?

Strange, but it does work for me .. here is where my skins are saved: And within DCS I can recall the same listing: and the skin is applied with no issues: Hope you find the cause.

razo+r Posted January 10, 2022 Posted January 10, 2022 Check the description.lua that you selected the proper country, if needed.
Hornetjock Posted January 11, 2022 Author Posted January 11, 2022 Looking at your folders on the left, they appear to be called Bazar folder in my list - not liveries. I am wondering if I place a Spitfire folder in there....worth a try.

Hornetjock Posted January 11, 2022 Author Posted January 11, 2022 I have tried that and loaded them there too. Just tried the bazar path, which reflects your location exactly. Put a Spit folder in there and loaded it. Nothing works.

Hornetjock Posted January 11, 2022 Author Posted January 11, 2022 Ha ha...well I got 'em loaded everywhere including Saved Games with zero results so far. I will talk to someone who knows more about paths than me... Thanks for your help.
Hornetjock Posted January 12, 2022 Author Posted January 12, 2022 In case anyone's following - I had a D'Oh! moment. I had somehow added a Liveries sub-folder into the path for adding skins. Once I transferred all the skins from it to the main folder and deleted the extra one, they worked fine. Loving flying the RCAF skins. Thanks all...
