Hey guys, I'm fairly new to making custom skins for aircraft in DCS, and I tried my hand with the JF-17 for fun (Unfortunate wording for anyone familiar with the plane). Everything looks great but I simply cannot get the helmets to work. I've attached my .lua file I'm trying to use and my buddy who has a TON more experience told me everything looks in order. The helmet texture loads no problem if I replace it in the Core textures folder, but I want everyone I'm flying with to have their own unique helmet. In addition to this: is there any way I can use the model viewer to look at my custom liveries in the Saved Games folder? I keep having to drag all my .dds and .lua files to a test folder in the CoreMods folder, and it gets tedious when you're busy with 4+ people's skins. Edit1: This is having the helmet loaded on the skin folder itself VS in the CoreMods Folder, nothing about the name or anything changed Thanks! description.lua

OPERATION DESERT KNIFE | FICTIONAL | INFORMATION LETTER SHORT REMINDER: Original Name of this Mission was Operation Desert Storm but it got "rebranded" to Op. Desert Knife __________________________________________________________ Singleplayer - YES Multiplayer - YES COOP - YES Each other - YES Against each other - YES __________________________________________________________ Syria Map - Required Carrier Module - Highly Recommended Tf-51 / Is Free & should be Pre Installed Gray Shark Skin - Recommended 16-32 GB Ram - Recommended Hello and welcome to the information sheet on the mission "Operation Desert Knife" Operation Desert Knife is a dynamic mission that means there are multiple possible endings! You can play Operation Desert Knife alone, in co-op or against each other! There are no limits! The main goal in Operation Desert Knife is to take out the enemy aircraft (AI) and then land! Whoever manages this first, decides the victory for his faction! If one faction wins, the other faction loses! Again, you can fight the AI with a friend and then land. Or you can fight the enemy AI on your own while your friend / enemy has to do the same against you! The first to turn off all targets wins! You can of course do 2v2 1v2 and so on, no limits! The location is on the new Syria map and starts at sunrise! Now you are setup for my first Dynamic Mission and I really hope you will enjoy it! I have also added a Airshow! So you can train with oldschool aircraft like the TF51 or BF109! (please keep in mind that this mission does not try to be realistic at all! Its a 100% Generic Fun Mission, something you just wanna throw on without thinking to much and just testing out the latest stuff of DCS!) OPERATION DESERT KNIFE CONTENT - 2 rival factions, each with 4 selectable airmen - Real radio messages from the political groups: USA & RUSSIA - Different endings possible (Dynamic Mission) - Audio announcements if a team member has died or an enemy player has been eliminated. - Audio announcements if an enemy is sighted inside of your Political area & warning if you are in an enemys Political area. - The latest carriers are available for both factions! - SAM targets available for both factions (A-10II, SU25T - to counter SAM site) - Mission briefing for each Faction! - RAM friendly, despawning of cinematic aircrafts (aircrafts that only spawn to look cool), carrier and assets only spawn when needed (if you spawn inside a f14 the carrier will spawn for example (same for russian carrier and cinematic aircraft) So Assets which are just dont needed wont load! - Many many IF conditions for a balanced game flow - Self-made mission pictures so that you know what your task is! (dont expect picasso art ) - Airshow (Ram friendly, if you spawn inside of an neutral aircraft, everything that is related with the Operation Desert Storm Mission will despawn so you save Ram and can press F2 without seeing any other aircraft rather then yours! REAL ATC AUDIO RECORDINGS For an immersive feeling! Russian and American Voices! Alerts and kill confirmation Voice! Source: YOUTUBE!

Hello, I run into this problem almost every time I add custom skins to a new a/c - what is the proper name for the a/c folder to place in ~Saved Gamed\DCS World\Liveries ? I've tried using the same names found in my program folder - ~DCS World\Mods\aircraft\ but this is not a surefire method to get the correct name that DCS recognizes. The latest names that are perplexing me - the Mi-8MTV2 and the SA-342 - folders with these names placed in my ~Saved Games\DCS World\Liveries\ folder are not working. How do I find a consistent way to figure out the proper names for the a/c Liveries folders?
