There is an error on the tail of the C7A - see attached image - I have tried a couple of different liveries but no matter which one you try to use you get the tail from the main texture folder. I believe this is an edm error, it cant be fixed by texturing. 

Hi.

That left elevator's texture unload is reproduced in my DCS World.

Material - Texture file mismatching before edm exporting.
The left elevator part is assigned "MdGrey" material instead of "bou4_t" material.
And "MdGrey" material loads wrong "bou4_t.dds" texture file instead of "MdGrey.dds" texture file.

Make a work ramp. Thanks for the work.

While we're talking about the An-12 and its textures, I'd like to throw in a request for the Shaanxi Y-8, a reverse-engineered copy of the An-12.  Refer to the images below (source: Wikimedia Commons), as well as some kind of vismod to make the aircraft resemble the Shaanxi Y-9 (upgraded Shaanxi Y-8 with western avionics and ELINT/SIGINT equipment depending on variant)

Here are a few of the original liveries that I have found. They are not my work and I claim no resonsibility for any of them, they all came from the original authors of the mod, some are not too bad, some are not so great, what you see is what you get.

All I have done to them is butchered the main textures to fit this mod, made the prop spinner black and tried to match the engine covers to the original texture files which the guys who made this mod did not use. 

I will leave this link up for a few days then I will delete it.

Thank you so much. To remove the extra aeroflot icon on the left, delete the An-12 skin textures in the folder.

Western - A question for you, and anyone else who might have an answer.

The description.lua for this aircraft, based on the actual edm I present to ModelViewer, does not show any need for a RoughMet texture, so do you actually need one ?

I have never understood why that might work - if its not listed in the description logic tells me mod will not see it even if you create one.

Or am I missing something ?

Hi.

I have no answer, no idea for your question.
In my current 2.9.9 DCS World /bin/ , ModelViwer2 doesn't output RoughMet entry line in description.lua for An12.edm as you say.
Only rendered result in DCS World looks the RoughMet entry and dds texture enabled , that's working I want ..... why ?

Thanks your report.

I'm also told virus caution in downloading my own link now. 
I delete both the 7zip file hosted in mediafire and DL link entry in this topic. 

When I'll collect some more An-12 liveries with Yugoslavia, Kazakhstan, LOT, etc. , I'll publish a skinpack via ED UserFiles.

The AN-12 in colors from Cavok Air would be a dream...

separating my own liveries topic here

None of the liveries except default are showing up for the AN-12.  I think I missed tweak someplace

The same thing happens to me, in the liveries/An-12 folder, they do not appear in the editor.

I think we need this line or similar in the entry.lua....: mount_vfs_liveries_path(current_mod_path.."/Liveries")

This line in entry.lua works as enabling the folder of ...../Saved Games/DCS/Mods/aircraft/An-12/Liveries/An-12/ path.
But I don't plan to place my skins under there.
No need to retouch entry.lua .

...../Saved Games/DCS/Liveries/An-12/ path is already enabled for custom skins and I aim to install my works here.

This one here, in user files.  It's confusing they have multiple mod download areas.
