VPS_Choki Posted March 22 Posted March 22 2 minutes ago, theRealTrickFlare said: It was hell but I think I'm happy with the result. I used the mission editor to preview and make changes to the files to ease the burden of having no MV access by simply reloading the aircraft rendering by placing a new unit each time. It's in the que for user files. Cheers, Fun note, F18 patch and Bort number layouts also work as templates for the new F5 (so do the helmet, and flight gear but not 100%) so you mean you didnt had to restart the full game all the time? the helmet and suit we noticed aswell will prob get some screenshot soon

It works 9/10 times You have to be overwriting an existing file but it works My User Files i9-14900HX | RTX 4090 Laptop GPU | 64.0 GB RAM DDR5 | Quest3 | TM Warthog Base with F18 Grip | Winwing Orion2, PTO2, MIP VR | VRSimsolutions F18 Dash Panels | ButtKicker Gamer Plus | DOF Reality H3
theRealTrickFlare Posted March 22 Posted March 22 Hey it's not a solution to the majority of the issues having no MV access brings, BUT reloading livery edits is possible in the mission editor. As long as you are overwriting an existing file with your updated .dds file, reloading the aircraft in the armament screen by: changing to another livery, changing aircraft type and coming back to your desired one, or running a preview of your mission. you can't check animations etc etc, but you can do camo skins with less headache. +1 MV access Happy skinning..

theRealTrickFlare Posted March 25 Posted March 25 Very cool, did you figure out the square on top of the helmet?

II.JG1_Vonrd Posted March 26 Posted March 26 While these are truly beautiful skins and all the more impressive since being accomplished without the use of the MV, I just hope that ED doesn't consider the issue solved. I haven't tried using the view in the Mission Editor hack (and doubt that I will be satisfied with it). Would @theRealTrickFlare and @VPS_Choki really not prefer being able to use the MV instead? @NineLine is there any news about being able to use the MV again in the (hopefully not to distant) future? 2 2

Absolutely! I'd prefer MV access with the new models, however at the moment I'm working with what I got.

As I said previously we are looking into solutions including the ability to refresh in the game, but it requires programmer time which is a valuable resource, so I hope it will be done sooner than later, but I have no timeline right now. 2 2 Forum Rules • My YouTube • My Discord - NineLine#0440• **How to Report a Bug**
II.JG1_Vonrd Posted March 26 Posted March 26 Thanks for the reply. It looks like it's going to be a ways down the road then. I'm still hopeful for a positive solution.
waterman Posted March 26 Posted March 26 Im sure DCS have already thought about this but - Things could get interesting - 1. Having the DCS Main Game Running. 2. Start a mission and the Huge scenery textures load. 3. Next the High Detail Aircraft and its Hires Textures Load. 4. Start Photoshop 5. Load the 4k templates and start Editing all the layers. 6. Save your textures. 7. Refresh the Aircraft textures in DCS with the Main Game Still Running. 8. Not sure how users computers will handle this. 9. Model viewer update is the answer its features are badly needed.

RustBelt Posted March 27 Posted March 27 Keep in mind, in the past you were eventually going to have a crash to desktop doing that too much. I guess it doesn’t (or didn’t) clean up after itself unless you leave the menu.
