Iranian skins for AI F-14

[Aussie Pilot]

Are there any Iranian skins for the AI F-14 that can be used on the Persian Gulf map? If so, where are they and how do you install them?

I know Iran has F-14's available in the Mission Editor but they only come with U.S. skins. It doesn't feel right shooting them down in my Hornet let alone making it look better for the mission.

Thank you, but where do I install these?

They go at /saved games/dcs or dcs.openbeta/liveries/

Each aircraft needs its own sub-folder inside /liveries/ 

Here are the names for most of the aircrafts:

Thank you but it didn't work. I created a F-14A folder and put the liveries in there. When in mission editor I select F-14A for ai aircraft and the paint scheme is available to select but it doesn't show on the aircraft in the ME or in game. I wonder if for ai enemy aircraft they need to go somewhere else.

no, /saved games/ is the proper place… just be sure to use the correct upper/lower case: "f-14a"

Edit: Wait, please note that the liveries of @Urbi are for a modded F-14A, the VSN one .. the "f-14a" is for the standard AI F-14 of DCS. Let me check what is the correct name for VSN's

OK, the livery folder name for the VSN tomcat is: VSN_F14A ... I placed Urbi's liveries on this folder:

 

 

... and they do show up on the Sim, like this:

 

 

As this tomcat is a user Mod, you could also place the liveries within the Mod's own folder tree as both go into /saved games/, but then you would end-up with a custom version of the Mod that you would have to re-modify if the Mod is latter updated, so my advice is to keep the liveries separate from the Mod.

 

Best regards

Thank you for your help, I will give this a try.

Well thanks Rudel_chw but that didn't work either. 

I don't actually own the F-14 by Heatblur, I'm just using the F-14 that comes in the sims main coremods as an enemy plane flown by Iran. It's just that the stock Livery for it is only a US paint scheme, hence wanting some Iranian skins.

I'm guessing these one's you're helping me install are intended to be used with the F-14 from Heatblur and because I don't own it they don't work.

When I put those skins in the livery folder of the coremod F-14 they show up in the list in the ME but don't show on the aircraft when I select one.  

Thanks for your help though, much appreciated.

OK, but the liveries that @Urbi offered are not for that aircraft, but for a User modded version, the VSN F-14A ... they won't work on the ED f-14a

No, the VSN F-14A uses the Flaming Cliff's F-15C aircraft. If you have FC3 or F-15 you could use the VSN Mod ... it can be downloaded from here:

Ok, it looks like I'll have to try something else, but thank you for your help and info.
