Superralf27 Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Hi all, This is a rookie question but I am having a hard time downloading user skins for my F-16. Where should I download the skins too? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudel_chw Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 (edited) I place mine at \Saved Games\DCS.OpenBeta\Liveries\F-16C_50\ If you don't use the OpenBeta versión of DCS, check which DCS folder you have at "Saved Games". You may have to use Windows to create the Liveries and F-16C_50 folders if you dont have them already. Each livery goes into its own sub-folder, like this (they are for the Harrier, but the F-16 uses the same structure): Edited January 9, 2020 by Rudel_chw For work: iMac mid-2010 of 27" - Core i7 870 - 6 GB DDR3 1333 MHz - ATI HD5670 - SSD 256 GB - HDD 2 TB - macOS High Sierra For Gaming: 34" Monitor - Ryzen 3600X - 32 GB DDR4 2400 - nVidia GTX1070ti - SSD 1.25 TB - HDD 10 TB - Win10 Pro - TM HOTAS Cougar - Oculus Rift CV1 Mobile: iPad Pro 12.9" of 256 GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superralf27 Posted January 9, 2020 Author Share Posted January 9, 2020 That doesn't seem to be working. Do I have to do anything special to the file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deano87 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Where exactly are you putting them? You need to extract them from the .zip file you download.

Deano87 Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Hmmmmm. That’s weird. When you say they don’t work, they don’t work for the F-16, or for all other aircraft?

Gregkar Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 regarding \Saved Games\DCS.OpenBeta\Liveries\F-16C_50\ i have only tried for the F-16, regarding SteamApps/common/DCSWorld/Bazar/Liveries/*aircraft folder*, it works perfectly for all aircrafts. Actually i didn't even have a DCS.OpenBeta folder i had to create one if i remember correctly Asus Z370-A | Intel i7 8700K @5.0GHz | Deepcool Maelstrom 120T Red | G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 32GB DDR4 3200 | EVGA 1080ti 11GB SC2 | Kingston A2000 250GB NVMe 250GB for Windows 10 64-bit Pro OS, | Samsung 840PRO 120GB SSD & WD HDD 1TB & WD HDD 500GB for program files | 3x LG 24" IPS monitors | Thrustmaster Warthog Stick | Thrustmaster FCS throttle and pedals | HP Reverb Pro, Oculus Rift CV1 (any many more stuff non flight sim related :helpsmilie:) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deano87 Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 (edited) Actually i didn't even have a DCS.OpenBeta folder i had to create one if i remember correctly :huh: Well that’s a new one on me. Just confirm that you were looking in C:\Users\ “yourname" \Saved Games ? Replace C: with whatever drive you have your “my documents” folder on.
