jsr9597 Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 I'm trying to build custom liveries for both the Eagle and Phantom. How can I get clean PSD files to modify? (Im using GIMP and when I look at what other people have done Im not able to modify the DDS files. Is there a simple tutorial that I can follow?

razo+r Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Here you get the templates: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/downloads/texture_templates/ Also make sure you have the dds plugin for gimp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsr9597 Posted October 18, 2019 Author Share Posted October 18, 2019 Better question is how and why use the DDS Plug-in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsr9597 Posted October 18, 2019 Author Share Posted October 18, 2019 I'm not sure what Im doing wrong. I open up the PSD files and see the layers....merge them then export each file as a DDS file. End up with no skins/paint on the aircraft. Frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morpheus Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 You have to build your livery with .dds files and description.lua to make it compatible DCS, after this you will see it in mission ediitor ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morpheus Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 What do you call "clean" skins ?
