Captain Chuck Posted February 3, 2022 Posted February 3, 2022 All of the F-16 skins have somehow disappeared from my DCS Beta. ...except for three custom skins which I downloaded from User Files. Is there any way I can just get back the default skins that come with the F-16. I'm not even sure what skins were included in the original when I bought the F-16.

Rudel_chw Posted February 3, 2022 Posted February 3, 2022 The DCS repair function of the DCS Updater utility should fix the issue: 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

A bit complicated for me because Powershell is not accepting input. Nothing appears as it does in the instructions. In the past I have used "DCS repair" but I don't know what exactly I did....but I did not have these troubles as I have now trying it. Ryzen 7 7800; GTX 4070; 32 GB RAM; Monitor 27" 1440p

Seems you are not following the guide to the letter .. it does not use Powershell … see the section titled "Opening a Command Prompt:" 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

I tried both. I guess I should have said "windows terminal" .... Maybe it would be easier to uninstall the F-16 mod and re-install it. Not sure of best way to do that either.

Not sure of best way to do that either. The F-16 is divided in two parts, the installable part is the one that allows you to fly the F-16. The other part is built-in on DCS and allows players to see the F-16 on multiplayer severs even if they dont own the aircraft. On this case, the liveries are on the built-in DCS and most likely uninstalling the F-16 wont fix this. Perhaps you could try Skatezilla’s Utility, which is kind of a friendlier user interface to DCS_Updater: 1 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

Thanks all! And everytime you get errors/issues with DCS just do a Repair or a Cleanup with Skatezilla Gui Updater app. If you have your liveries in savedgames/DCS.OpenBeta you don´t loose anything because the repair/cleanup is made in Core DCS folder, and, Skatezilla Gui Updater have the option to erase extra files or move them to backup when you´re doing a CleanUp so no worries about that.
