Custom Livery not working for Essex ?

[KoinSoz]

As the title says, i made a custom livery for the Essex but i cant get it to show in game, the drop down list for liveries only shows "default" no matter what i do.
It works fine on the Model viewer, all texture load no error on log.
Installing it on Savedgames/liveries/Essex_Class_Carrier_1944     as thats is the folder name on coremods so i assume its the correct one.

doing the same procedure with the kuznetsov and the other CVNs work as intended.

there is a real chance that i'm doing something wrong but i believe ive tried all i could. if any can help that would be much appreciated

Confused me as well, as there is a livery folder called Essex_Class_Carrier_1944, with the module?

But if you open the ships LUA file the correct livery folder will be:

GT.Name = "Essex"

I've attached the folder (no textures) but with a full extract of Description LUA, incl. some custom arguments (at the bottom) - if you want to open some of the side hangers etc. Just remove the "--" in front of the specific arguments at the bottom.

Nice! A creative way to make Japanese assets - but the USN might have you up for treason!
