So I had an older version of this paint (VFA-103) with custom arguments to be able to select the livery with engine covers, ladder down etc..it was the same file name with “preflight” at the end…as basically I could “rearm/refuel” and select it to have the covers on etc. Now trying to do the same with this new version, I tried making the same “preflight” folder with a lot of cut and paste on the new paint which is

“F/A-18C VFA-103 Jolly Rogers Aircraft of the Line 4k Re-Mastered (Updated: 12/15/2023)”

but for some reason I can’t get it to show. Is there any crazy chance someone could add a “preflight” livery to this version? There’s a clean and dirty version, so I’d basically have clean, dirty and “preflight”. If someone could do that Id be forever grateful!!☺️

ok so, can anyone tell me at least, if I have a livery , for example "F18 CLEAN", how can I copy that and make one called "F18 CLEAN PREFLIGHT" and add the arguments for static objects (covers, ladder etc) to it? i have tried to copy the contents like that and add the arguments but the "preflight" livery doesnt show up in dcs. can someone at least point me in the right direction?

Man, I’m not sure how that even works (locking it to a county). If you could tell me how to unlock the livery from a specific country I’ll go through and check all of them. Any ideas on the last LUA (for the old version) on how to fix the board numbers?

Locked to country means this line in the lua

countries = {"USA",}

add two dashes to the front of the line

--countries = {"USA",}

and see if that changes anything.   If not remove the two dashes.
