Hawg57 Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Youre almost there. Mods such as aircraft will do in the MODS folder.but within that Mods folder you need to create a sub folder named aircraft for it to work properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramsay Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Hi. I want to dpwnload some of the missions, skins and such like but the folders they say to download the folders to dont exist. i go to C/users/my name/saved games/dcs but only have the following files If the mod uses a "Saved Games\DCS\xxx" folder that doesn't exist, you'll need to create it i.e. the "Kneeboard" folder to add custom kneeboard pages (.jpg, .png, etc.) The mods file i created myself Where are the files for mods skins and so on? To add a custom skin, place it in "Saved Games\DCS\Liveries\[module name]\[skin name]" i.e. The Mods and Apps sub forum is probably a better place to ask if you need more help. i9 9900K @4.7GHz, 64GB DDR4, RTX4070 12GB, 1+2TB NVMe, 6+4TB HD, 4+1TB SSD, Winwing Orion 2 F-15EX Throttle + F-16EX Stick, TPR Pedals, TIR5, Win 10 Pro x64, 1920X1080 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kentvilla Posted January 12, 2019 Author Share Posted January 12, 2019 but the mod file wasnt there so i created it. Does that matter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramsay Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 but the mod file wasnt there so i created it. Does that matter? The "Mods" folder name has "meaning" to DCS and it will look in the "Saved Games\DCS\Mods" folder for custom "modules" i.e. • "Saved Games\DCS\Mods\aircraft" is used by the "A-4E-C Skyhawk" mod and • "Saved Games\DCS\Mods\tech" is used by Tacview, LotAtc, 476 Custom Range Objects, etc. Here's an example of "476th Custom Range Object" folder structure. Are you trying to create your own mod or install someone else's mod/skin ? i9 9900K @4.7GHz, 64GB DDR4, RTX4070 12GB, 1+2TB NVMe, 6+4TB HD, 4+1TB SSD, Winwing Orion 2 F-15EX Throttle + F-16EX Stick, TPR Pedals, TIR5, Win 10 Pro x64, 1920X1080 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironhand Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 (edited) :smilewink:i dont have a Liveries file either This and a few other folders for modding are not created automatically, when you installed the sim. If the mod you downloaded doesn’t contain the folder structure necessary for installation, you’ll need to create it yourself.
