Spitfire livery location


Recommended Posts

I use this one:

 

C:\Users\<your user>\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Liveries\SpitfireLFMkIX

 

 

If you dont use openbeta, then substitute it with \DCS\

So it didn't work for me out of that location, lol mine worked out of this one:

 

C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\CoreMods\WWII Units\SpitfireLFMkIX\Liveries\SpitfireLFMkIX\Fargo express

 

It's so funny to me how the skins for each airframe are out in different locations on my end, and then in totally different locations for others. Hilarious!

 

Anyways, thanks for trying to help Rudel, much appreciated.

I thought this got officially added to DCSW, but I guess I was mistaken... not the first time, not the last :huh:

 

To get the liveries under Saved Games to work

 

1. Create folder 'c:\Users\username\Saved Games\DCS.Liveries'

 

2. Create the same folder names found under 'c:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Bazar\Liveries\' for a/c skins you want to use; eg. 'Bf-109K-4', 'FW-190D9', 'P-51D', etc.

 

3. Put your skin folders into the appropriate '..\DCS.Liveries\aircraft' folders.

 

4. Add the following lua file to: 'c:\Users\username\Saved Games\DCS\Mods\aircraft\Liveries Import\Entry.lua'

 

Entry.lua:

declare_plugin("Liveries Import",
{
installed 	 = true, 
dirName	  	 = current_mod_path,
version		 = "0.0.01 Alpha",		 
state		 = "installed",
info		 = _("Custom Liveries"),
})
---------------------------------------------------------
mount_vfs_liveries_path ("c:/Users/username/Saved Games/DCS.Liveries/")

---------------------------------------------------------
plugin_done()

 

That's it!

 

This will make all the skins in DCS.Liveries available to all DCS World installations you have, as long as it has the 'Entry.lua' file in place for the installation as per step 4.

Back on DCS 1.2, I did use the Mod that you mention, first suggested by Skatezilla:

... but after ED added the functionality for Liveries on the Saved Games filetree I erased the Mod and now just use the path, that was first suggested by Uboats on this thread:

It has worked for me just fine, with liveries (and alternate cockpits) for all these aircrafts:

Yup, I learned the trick from Skatezilla and have been using it since then.

 

And since I used to have 1.2, Open Beta, and Open Alpha installed, I saved myself a little space sharing the skins as per my last post above.

 

I still like Skatezilla's solution best, but YMMV ;)

Where to add custom Spit CW liveries ?

 

Hi guys,

 

Can you plz help me with two things getting my custom CW spit in DCS working ?

 

1- I guess I need to add a new folder for the CW livery in my Saved Games/Liveries section ..., do you know how it should be called ?

 

2- An example of the description.lua file for the CW would be very welcome !

 

Thanks in advance !

The folder is called SpitfireLFMkIXCW

 

In the description.lua, everything called {"SpitfireIX", needs to be called {"SpitfireIX_k",

 

Then it should work. But be aware of the following:

put the livery folder in coremods/ww2 units/aircraft/spitfire/livery

AWAITING ED NEW DAMAGE MODEL IMPLEMENTATION FOR WW2 BIRDS

 

Fat T is above, thin T is below. Long T is faster, Short T is slower. Open triangle is AWACS, closed triangle is your own sensors. Double dash is friendly, Single dash is enemy. Circle is friendly. Strobe is jammer. Strobe to dash is under 35 km. HDD is 7 times range key. Radar to 160 km, IRST to 10 km. Stay low, but never slow.
