solved Livery Issue : unable to download files?

[Hipster]

I'm trying to download some F-15E liveries.  Once I extract them and add them to the x:\saved games\...\liveries folder they look like this and don't work:

Previous liveries show the x.dds files as thumbnails but these ones don't.  Tried various things, such as:

- virus on/off whilst downloading/extracting

- livery folders in x:\dcs\openbeta\bazar\liveries and or x:\saved games\...\liveries\F-15E, etc.

Managed to get some F-15C liveries downloaded and they work fine, so the "method" seems okay, just unable to get the F-15E ones to work???

Random issue or incompetence?   Any ideas?

What do you mean exactly by "don't work" ?  They appear on the livery list but once applied they don't look like expected, or they do not appear on the list at all?

 

Your screenshot does not show clearly where did you place the livery, for example mine are here:

 

 

And within the game they show up according to the aircraft's country, for Hungary I get:

I had the livery folder set to F-15E.  From you post I changed it to F-15ESE and there they were!  

Many thanks for the reply.
