Feature: Allow Player to override Aircraft Pilot skin with their own custom

[DD_Fenrir]

Hi ED,

Was wondering if it would be possible for a user to override the pilot skin of any module/skin with a custom one of their own?

How I envisage a possible enabling of the function:

1. In the DCS Saved Games > Liveries folder, under each aircraft sub folder there could be a 'Custom_Pilot' folder, in which the user puts their unique pilot skin texture, applicable for that specific airframe.

2. An option box is added to the livery/loadout menu in the DCS Mission Editor to 'Enable custom pilot texture override'.

3. An entry in the description.lua points to the 'Custom_Pilot' location to override the default should the option box be ticked in the ME.

Is this plausible?

Could it be expanded to allow for visibility of different skins for backseaters/co-pilots in multiplayer?

Only if your co-pilot sees the default when they don't have the skin in question
