Fast reply! TY, I'll try this. : )

Hello,

again the question about LUA file or something else.

Model of MiG-15bis uses for external tanks textures from ZIP file, this path:\DCS World\CoreMods\aircraft\MiG-15bis\Textures\MiG-15bis.zip

but skins are here:\DCS World\CoreMods\aircraft\MiG-15bis\Liveries\MiG-15bis .

Is it possible to add to Liveries additional file for external tanks for the model? If I put only the new texture to "Liveries" folder, MiG see still this textures of external tank from ZIP file from different folder "Textures". Maybe I must to add something to LUA file?

The name of external tank for example: ptb400_mig_15bis_DIF (DDS for sure).

Is there a way to reload a livery in the model viewer? Or do I have to close and reopen the model viewer?

Reload the model

Reload the model

That doesn't reload the texture mounts anymore.

It does in standalone one though.

adding load model and load livery lines to auto exec works fine for me, just close and re-open.

You have to define every custom texture you want to stick on the model. If you don't know the material name of the part you're painting, use this tool first. Then it'll go like: {"materialname", 0 ,"texturename",false};

Which autoexec? Can you please give me an example?

edit:

Ok, looks like the autoexec is C:\Users\<YOUR-LOGIN>\Saved Games\edModelViewer\Config\autoexec.cfg

Now I need to figure out what load model and load livery lines are ;)

edit2:

I put those lines to DCS World\Config\ModelViewer:

LoadModel("CoreMods/aircraft/F-5E/Shapes/f-5e3.lods")
LoadLivery("F-5E-3","My new livery'")

You need to name the skin exactly as described in the description.lua

Hi,

I tried it too to the P-47 and couldn’t.

Is it correct to use “/“ not “\” for the .lods path? and for the livery name, there is a “‘“ after “My new livery”. Is that correct also?

I used:

LoadModel("CoreMods/aircraft/P-47D-30/Shapes/p47-d.lods")

LoadLivery("P-47D-30","skintest'")

I also tried using “\”, using “F:\entire path”. and so on.

I just couldn’t. I’d lo see another example.

Thanks in advance,

Sydy

[REQUEST]

Would like to see the Pilot and Crew models from the SA342 minigun be standalone models with m4's to be used as a  representation of special operations troops for the game. Is this possible?

Hi guys! Does anyone know what this font is?

Hi all.!

I have started creating my first livery and I'm try to follow the steps described in various how to videos but my livery layer seems to be kind of transparent over the metallic surface of the airplane (F-86F). How can my liver be more opaque?

Also while the whole aircraft appears with a black "primer" there are some area tha are green and have some visible numbers. Will this create a problem when I finish my livery and if so how can I correct this?

I'm attaching some pics to help you understand my issue. 

You're kindly asked for support 

THX in advance

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!
