marcelbrabson Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Can some please tell me how to download skins? I've tried and failed so many times. I'm particularly interested in skins for F/A-18 & F-5. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Take care. God bless.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Take care. God bless. 1) Locate your /saved games/dcs.openbeta/" folder 2) Inside it create a folder named "Liveries" 3) Inside "Liveries" create a folder named "F-5E-3" for the F-5 and another named "FA-18C_hornet" for the F-18 4) Put the folder of each skin on a separate folder within those two ... like this: Keep in mind that some Liveries came already pre-packaged inside a folder structure ... you need to extract just the final folder, the one containing the actual graphics files. Also, some liveries are valid only for certain countries, so for example a Luftwaffe livery probably will not show up for a japanese Hornet. Cheers.

marcelbrabson Posted June 25, 2018 Author Share Posted June 25, 2018 I don't see a saved games folder. But there is a Liveries folder already there with f/a-18c folder. I tired putting the new skins there but when I go into the simulator to select a skin there not there. What am I doing wrong ?

Rudel_chw Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 The saved games folder full path is usually something like this: C:\Users\<your user name>\Saved Games\DCS or DCS.openbeta\ Within this path, you need to create a folder named "Liveries" and within that another folder named "FA-18C_hornet" ... take a good look to the screen cap I posted earlier ... my Windows is in spanish, so "Saved Games" shows up as "Juegos Guardados" 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...
