ClausHoffmann Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 I am working on a mission involving the A-10C Tank Killer. In this context I want to use a specific livery that I downloaded from the User Files Download page from DCS World. Installing the livery in the folder "\saved games\DCS\Liveries\A-10C_2" did not work. The livery did not appear in the mission editor to be used. Installing the livery under \Steam\steamapps\common\DCSWorld\CoreMods\aircraft\A-10\Liveries\A-10CII\ worked just fine. Now I am concerned as I have read many posts claiming no files should be installed in the DCS root directory. Did I get something wrong here? Is Tank Killer a special case when it comes to installing liveries? Any help is highly appreciated. Best Regards Claus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the correct folder .. if it does not show on the editor, the only reason I could think is that it is meant for a different countrry than your unit's .. open the description.lua file of the livery and look at the end for a line "countries" like this: It will tell you which country the livery is intended for ... if there is no "country" line, then the livery would be available for every country.

I have no idea, where the wrong directory name came from. But anyway, now it works Thanks to all of you for the willingness to support inexperienced users as I am in a friendly and supportive way.

Fra298 Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 (edited) To be honest, I think @Rudel_chw is right too. Both folder names are working. But I got less liveries avalaible when folder is named a-10C_2 even if folder name should follow the one in installdir/mods/aircraft... Maybe is this because some liveries work for both A-10C and a-10CII? Edited November 18, 2022 by Fra298 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, Just tested, as it's been a long while since I last used the A-10C II ... the folder where I had the liveries before isn't really working currently, maybe there has been some update or change within the module that I'm unaware of .. the correct folder now is "A-10CII" as you said. ... just tested it, and using it I get all my liveries to show up on the Mission Editor.
