Darkdiz Posted January 21, 2023 Posted January 21, 2023 Hi: Clearly something missing, for not only me but a friend who has the same problem: Created a folder in DCS.openbeta/Liveries/FW-190A8, placed custom livery folder/files in there, it does not show up. Downloaded a livery from the forum, placed it in there, doesn't show up. My friend has the same problem, what am I missing?

razo+r Posted January 21, 2023 Posted January 21, 2023 Check if the skin is limited to a specific country and if it is, make sure to assign the correct country to the FW ingame.

Downloaded a livery from the forum, placed it in there, doesn't show up. The folder name is correct, so most likely @razo+r is right and you are trying to apply the skin to an aircraft that belongs to a not supported country. For example, on my case I have extra skins only for Greece (fictionals) and Third Reich, like this: On the Sim, if I set an A8 for Third Reich, I get all the built-in skins, plus the 6 custom ones that I have .. I can distinguish between a built-in and a custom because I name mine with the country code they belong to NZG=NaZi Germany. If I place on the mission a greece Fw-190, then I get only the default skin that is available for every country, plus my two custom ones, GRC is the code for Greece, like this: And both skins work perfectly in game: So, check your countries Edited January 21, 2023 by Rudel_chw 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
