F-16 Helmet HMD skin doesnt show in Game but does in Modelviewer2

[Firebird1955]

I have managed to get helmet HMD skin to show with custom color in the Model Viewer (pilot model only) but does not show inside aircraft.  The helmet skin transfers to both but hot the HMD skin in the pilot helmet details DDS.  I swear I read something about this happening but i cannot find it and have spent a great deal of time researching it.  Anyone have the answer?  It has to be something simple as there are several skin downloads with the HMD skinned and showing in sim.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Check that the line for the HMD texture in the description.lua is set to false. If it is true it will pull the default texture.

Thanks for the reply.  Actually found the issue by comparing both the pilot and the complete aircraft Description.lua. What I found was an error in the location file name (first section in quotes) and found that they were different by 1 letter.  Once I changed that, the pilot in the aircraft is correct, but the one with just the pilot model only didnt show correctly.  Not sure how that happens, but I got the results I needed.  I have been doing skins off and on for years now, and I learn something new every time.  Unfortunately,,,, enough time goes by in between doing them, I have to learn most of it all over again...LOL

You will need both these in the description.Lua. The first is for the pilot in the plane and the other is for the pilot out of the plane. They use the same texture and texture file name but one is "details" and the other "getails". I'm not sure if ED made a typo or if it was intentional. Also is that my desert flight suit?
