You have to choose first for the nationality of your KA-50 and then you have access for one or more national skin...

The skins are depending on the nation?

It is not possible to choose a e.g. german skin for a russian Ka-50?

Why would you want Russian livery on a German aircraft?

You may have any livery you wish under any country you want easily.

 

In your DCS root directory find scripts/database/db_countries.lua.

 

Under Russia (as an example) you will find a list of units, with their corresponding texture choices such as:

 

color_scheme("{B72394A9-596C-433B-9F1F-742F67B1BCC1}", "Demo paint scheme # 22 \"Black Shark\""),

 

Copy and paste into every other country under

 

Helicopter =

{

cnt_unit("{3457BB1E-523F-4C24-BBEA-58D028623F05}", "Ka-50", {

 

and you will have your favorite skin in any country you wish.

 

Since the lastest patch adds the Ka-50 to every country it is even easier than before. Be sure and make a backup of your original db_countries.liua in case you accidentally delete it or something.

I like the new german skin. My problem is that the Ka-50 in my missions belongs to russian and you are not able to change the coalition afterwards.
