Livery change?

[jetdx]

I am getting back into A-10C after I got my TrackIr and in my latest experiences I came across different skins/liveries. How do I change the skin/livery once I am in DCS: A-10C?

 

THANKS

You have to go into the mission editor. Under payload, right hand side, 2/3 of the way down the screen.

Do I need to create a whole new mission in "Mission Editor"?

I just want to do "Ramp Start" simple mission and fly around and/or practice landings.

Is there updates to DCS: A-10C? Am I looking at a different version of DCS: A-10C? How do I find out what I am looking at? I tried what you said in reply but I do not see such a thing

The latest version is 1.1.1.0. You'll see the number in the bottom left corner of the little blue splash screen before you enter game.

 

The quickest way to test what you want is the mission editor. Just start it, place a plane near your airport, switch it to Player and Takeoff from Ramp then click the blue button. No need to save or anything.

 

To change the skin you'd click the payload button (2nd button in the bar in the right middle) and in the bottom right is the dropdown for that.

The ME should be the same in any version.

 

Try looking at this. I open the mission and then select mission planner. Ignore the loadout saving messages in the middle.

 

EDIT: Hope that gets you there, sorry I forgot to tell Fraps to leave the mouse cursor in place.

AH HA...OK! I was going into "mission editor" not "mission planner" I did get it to work. Thanks for the help! I am positive this won't be the last time.

AH HA...OK! I was going into "mission editor" not "mission planner" I did get it to work but when I started A-10C with the livery I wanted to use the aircraft was just covered with "Textures Missing" (I think it was). I don't have time to mess with it right now but I will definately get back to it when I can.

 

That means that when you installed the skin, I am guessing you added one or more skins, you put something in the wrong place or have a typo somewhere. Nothing major, just double check your installation.

 

I actually took off once, whlie testing several mods, and did not notice until I was airborne that my plane was bright orange.;)

 

 

EDIT: Good deal!

Well something must have happend to liveries in DCS version 1.1.1.1 because after examinating logfiles on my dedicated server they are filled with Liveries errors.

 

As a test I made a mission with ONE object (an insurgens manpad) in it and checked the logfile "dcs.log":

00013.726 ERROR   DXRENDERER: DXDefTexture: failed to open file oprs light.tga
00013.808 ERROR   Lua::Config: load error Scripts/MissionScripting.lua:[string "Scripts/Common/LuaClass.lua"]:93: attempt to index local 'tbl' (a nil value).
00014.147 ERROR   VFS: Can't mount 'Bazar/Liveries/sa-18 igla manpad/ins_summer' to '/textures//liveries/sa-18 igla manpad/ins_summer/'.
00014.147 ERROR   VFS: Can't mount 'Bazar/Liveries/sa-18 igla manpad/summer' to '/textures//liveries/sa-18 igla manpad/summer/'.

 

Does the Insurgens errors mean anything at all for the server hosting the mission?

Does any of the other errors in the logfiles get any attention at ED or are they not errors that mean anything? Is these ERROR's not important at all?

I'm gonna trump you HJ.

 

One mission, one aircraft on the runway, DCS A-10C patch 1.1.1.1.

 

Clearly, there's something not quite right. Significantly for me is reliability and fps.

Edit: apols for thread hijack, this post has nothing to do with thread reason. Mod pse move to A-10C tech support - thanks.
