Installing Mods

Is the mod installation path posted by ( Uboats ) still the choice for 2.5 stable. I have tried a a/c skin in the path, saved games/DCS/coremods/aircraft, pasting the a/c folded their with dds and lua but it's not showing up.

Tried saved games/DCS/MODS, but their is no a/c or livery folder their, only terrain. Pasted the a/c mod folder their anyway, but not showing up. Do I need to put the entire zip file in one or the other and unzip in place.

Thanks

I use /saved games/dcs/liveries/name of the aircraft/skin ... like this:

Hope it works for you too :)

So the Open beta folder in saved games is required? I had deleted it but it was still in recycle bin.

No, you can have several different DCS installs on /program files/ each on its own folder, for example one with DCS 1.5.8, another with 2.5 Openbeta and yet another with 2.5 Release.

Each one of these installs has a corresponding folder on saved games, this allows you to have different configuration for each DCS install that you use.

My screenshot says DCS.openbeta because thats the one I use ... if your DCS uses a different folder that's ok too, use it on the same way ... each DCS saved games folder can have a separate liveries folder.
