Warlord64 Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Hi Guys I want to make skins for the B-17G as at the moment the only skin avilable is the default one which is a bit like the Attack of the Clones BUT I have noticed in the Mods> Tech >WWII Units > Textures folder there is the B-17G ZIP file but there is No B-17G folder in Liveries but there is for all the other WWII Assets and they all have the required description.lua. I know I can just create one but I would still need the all important description.lua to make skins appear in Mission Editor. Any help would be very much appreciated Kind Regards Keith:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrassEm Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 (edited) I was able to confirm that this works. You will need to change the third column names to your textures. Pathway: \Bazar\Liveries\B-17G\B-17G Your Livery Subject to change of course!!! -- B-17G 8th Air Force. 381st Bomber Group, 532nd Bomber Squadron. USAAF England 1944. -- Skin by BrassEm -- Version 1.0 20170627 livery = { {"B17G_Fuzelage_1", 0 ,"B-17G_Fuzelage_1_D",false}; {"B17G_Fuzelage_1", 1 ,"B-17G_Fuzelage_1_N",true}; {"B17G_Fuzelage_1", 2 ,"B-17G_Fuzelage_1_S",false}; {"B17G_Fuzelage_2", 0 ,"B-17G_Fuzelage_2_D",false}; {"B17G_Fuzelage_2", 1 ,"B-17G_Fuzelage_2_N",true}; {"B17G_Fuzelage_2", 2 ,"B-17G_Fuzelage_2_S",false}; {"B17G_Wing_Left", 0 ,"B-17G_Wing_Left_D",false}; {"B17G_Wing_Left", 1 ,"B-17G_Wing_Left_N",true}; {"B17G_Wing_Left", 2 ,"B-17G_Wing_Left_S",false}; {"B17G_Wing_Right", 0 ,"B-17G_Wing_Rigth_D",false}; {"B17G_Wing_Right", 1 ,"B-17G_Wing_Rigth_N",true}; {"B17G_Wing_Right", 2 ,"B-17G_Wing_Rigth_S",false}; } name = "8thAF, 381st BG, 532nd BS, VE-N" countries = {"USA", } I do hope ED brings out a template for it.

BrassEm Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 (edited) Thanks SkateZilla, I was not aware of that. I will check to see if the directories are deleted during a repair. Update; Just did a repair and the files remained so all good. Edited July 1, 2017 by BrassEm Testing results. www.brass-em.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaz Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 Reviving an old thread. I'm having a h3ll of a time getting custom liveries to work with the B-17. Is this still possible in today's DCS folder structure? I've read several threads from 2+ years ago, but nothing is working for me. TIA.

Is this still possible in today's DCS folder structure? Yes, the liveries for the B-17 do work .. you have to place them at /saved games/dcs/Liveries/B-17G/ (substitute dcs with dcs.openbeta if you are not on the stable branch) 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...
