Where can I find Skins for 'Static' Aircraft and other objects?

[Snacko]

The User Files on the ED site does not have an option to filter skins for static objects.  And I spent a while searching and finding nothing...

Have Modders made skins for statics?  If so, how do I find them??

I believe that, if you need skins for Mission-Making then you just change the skins for static objects just the same as you would for your own plane.
I dunno if this is what you mean?

Static objects of --- fixed-wing planes, helicopters, ground vehicles (tanks / SAM and AAAs / unarmed cars), animals, structures --- have the common "Paint Scheme" system to their Live units.
Static planes placed on an airfield or static helicopters on a carrier deck can be wear the same skins of their moving aircraft / helicopter units. The same skin files in user Liveries folders are also called by the static variants.

Ships and cargos, "Airfield and deck equipment" static objects don't have the function in current v2.8.8's ME system, though.

Hi Snacko

If I think I understand what you are asking

In the User Files section, select the following:

Type = Skin (you probably worked that out already )

Unit = Vehicle (Scroll down to near the bottom) This will bring back skins for Vehicles, Ships etc.

       = Other (Also near the bottom) Mainly AI aircraft

Date (From) = Set this back a few mths or years to get a bigger selection, normally defaults to a few mths & might miss some the older goodies

 

In this liveries section also check out the following threads:

AI Aircraft  for  AI Aircraft

Combined Arms  for AI Ground/Sea units

 

Hope this helps

Awesome!!  That's exactly what I was looking for!! 

Thanks!

aaahhh ...

If talking about those A300 or B737 models in NTTR / PG maps ---

No easy way to change textures of those map objects.

Smart solution is --- Erasing them from the map by mission editor trigger function (NTTR map needs tricky lua script) and place CAM / MAM or official planes with liveries you like.

So, is there a way to copy a F/18c skin from my Saved Games/Liveries into the FA-18c_Hornet folder in Bazar?  And it will be seen by the Static FA-18c as a livery?  Because I just tried that, and it did not work.  The skin is not in the list for the static..

I have a flyable FA-18c in a parking area, with other static FA-18c aircraft, and I just want them all to have the same skin...

About F/A-18C , the same name of the flyable module's F/A-18C Lot 20 is needed to use the same liveries on static planes.

No need to touch bazar folder or coremods folder.

Thanks!!  I was using the Static 'F/A-18c' .  I changed it to the Lot 20 and now I can see all of the skins for that AC.  Just one of my stupid mistakes!  Arggg..

Thanks for all the info guys..  It really helped a lot.
