Skin Issues

[Smasher]

I've been dabbling with making my own custom skin. I am having an issue when I go to select the skin in the mission manager before takeoff. It doesn't show the skin (I get a yellow grid with the words missing on the fuselage) There has to be a step I am missing. Does anyone have a step by step guide on what the steps are? I have edited a .LAU file and placed the .BMPs in the Test Textures folder, but there has to be something I am not doing. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know if you have already used this tutorial.

 

But I post it here anyways.

Yes, that was the tutorial I used to get started. I followed his steps and that's what is so frustrating about it! I'm thinking I might have to write the .lau file from scratch. Which is not really a big deal, but I want to make sure it isn't something simple before I start messing with it.

I got it to work. :)

What kind of skin is in the picture? Is it available into "user files" DCS' webpage? ;)

Correction, effing awesome. Would you upload this to user files?

Truth. Though, to be fair, if the Army DID have a fixed wing, it'd be the A10. :)

They have plenty of fixed wing aircraft, they're called drones. No Army pilot I've met could be trusted in the cockpit of an A-10... :)

LOL, I am actually in an Army unit that flies fixed wing. We fly the RC-12; it's a little twin prop aircraft (lame), but it holds people. :P

 

Spooky-I sent the 1st a request to join, but I haven't heard back from you guys. Until then, you guys are dead to me...:cry:

 

I'll post the finished skin with a history of why I made it when I am done tweaking. I'm still working on it. The finished product will include the Gimp files so you guys can customize it as you would like. It shouldn't take me more than a week to get it done.

An excellent camoflauge paint scheme for those missions into heavily graffitied cities.

I think your thinking of the ASU pattern. I didn't use the ASU pattern for this skin.
