Backdraft Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Hey all Sorry if this is dumb ? but cant get it to work, I downloaded 4 Skins I would like to have for my MI8 but cannot figure out where to put them. I even tried OvGME and still they don't show up. Only thing that does is the English Black Cockpit and Rotor Blades. Please help.

ams999 Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 So, where *did* you put them?

ams999 Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 I think (don't have the Mi-8) the unpacked skin folders should go into [...]\SavedGames\Liveries\mi-8mt\ "[...] because, basically, in this day and age, if you get to the merge and no one's died - it's not good for anybody." - Keith 'Okie' Nance "Nun siegt mal schön!" - Theodor Heuss, September 1958 "Nobody has any intention of building a wall." - Walter Ulbricht, June 1961 "Russia has no plans to invade either Ukraine or any other country." - Vladimir Chizhov, Russia's ambassador to the EU, January 2022 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ams999 Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Is the Mi-8 you use for testing 'USA'? Do they show up if you choose Hungary or Ukraine as countries?

BRAVO_16 Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 If you want to use the skin under a different country, you need to edit the description.lua file for that livery. The last line in the .lua file shows countries. You can add or remove countries, and this should make the skin selectable for different countries. countries = ("USA", "RUS", "FRA", "UKR", "SPN", "NETH", "TUR", "BEL", "GER", "NOR", "CAN", "DEN" , "UK", GRG") Maintain thy airspeed lest the ground rise up and smite thee!

rge75 Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Like ams999 mentioned; some skins may be limited to some nations. My DCS videos https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJX2av4UE4xqWto3y8EZWMw [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
