"- added assign-able keys for pilot Intercom"

Is this the enabling of cockpit clicking for the radio switch that governs which radio your PTT is set to? This functionality would be really useful for a comms mod I have.

Hi.

 

...

- Enabled custom cokpits

...

Where should I locate my cockpit folder?

 

I created \Liveries\SA342M\ under ...\DCS World\Mods\aircraft\SA342\ but no joy.

Like above I tried many things, but couldn't see my pit in custom cockpit drop-down menu.

 

Note: My cockpit files are already installed in CoreMods path.

 

Thank you.
