bagpuss22 Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 SAOEU Jet Hi all, Some great skins! Unfortunately skins do not seem to be my forte so I was hoping that maybe someone would do the 1999 SAOEU jet ZG501? One of the old workhorses so would be good to see it again. :pilotfly: Many thanks BP Intel i7-8086K, 32Gb DDR4, RTX2080 with VR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nealius Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Is anyone having trouble getting skins to work with multiple countries? I downloaded a Spanish skin from the DCS website, and wanted to add it to the USA list of liveries. In the description.lua I did this: countries = {"SPN", "USA"} But trying to change to this livery in either the ME or ModelViewer doesn't work. It just stays the same livery as what I last selected.

What it won't do is make the AV-8B flyable by any country (that's in the db_countries.lua). -Home Fries My DCS Files and Skins My DCS TARGET Profile for Cougar or Warthog and MFDs F-14B LANTIRN Guide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nealius Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 It doesn't seem like the country line works at all. If you place a Harrier belonging to Spain, you will still access all USA liveries despite SPN not being listed in the default livery description.lua files. Also, does anyone have mipmap fixes for any of the US liveries? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I know what he means, but even when the skin is listed in the skin list for USA in the mission editor you can't choose it.. I mean, you can choose it, but in both preview window and ingame you get the default skin for USA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, you can choose it, but in both preview window and ingame you get the default skin for USA. That normally indicates a problem with the format of the description.lua, such as a missing comma, quote or bracket. -Home Fries My DCS Files and Skins My DCS TARGET Profile for Cougar or Warthog and MFDs F-14B LANTIRN Guide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justificus Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 I want to try some of these out. What's the correct AC name to create under Saved Games\DCS\Liveries\<???????????> I tried AV8BNA as the folder name but putting skins in that isn't recognized. ETA - it's working. I was selecting a country the skins weren't available in. Odd, I'm having the same problem. I copied the name that you used for the folder, put it in the right place with my other skin folders and they don't show up! I'm trying to use this one desert fictional squadron skin in NTTR and am using USA as the country. I've tried deleting the country line in the description.lua but that made no difference. Tried to use another skin, just in case there was something amiss with this one, and have the same problem. Stumped on this one atm...

John Hargreaves Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Is anyone working on a Falklands war style Harrier skin? I can't find anything here, and I realise it's a different model, but if no one is doing one I might have a go myself. i7-7700K/Gigabyte RTX2080/Win10 64bit/32Gb RAM/Asus Xonar DX+Sennheiser HD380pro headphones/LG 34" UM65 @2560x1080/TM Warthog+VKB MkIV Rudder pedals/Rift CV1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Hargreaves Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Ah yes, I saw those they are nice. I suppose I have this memory of gritty grey sky footage of the Falklands war, yours look really nice and clean, which is probably more accurate. I'll download those and add them to the game.

John Hargreaves Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Hi Joey, I downloaded your skin pack, the original designs you have done look absolutely perfect in terms of colour. I saw a youtube video that used your skins and it looked a little different, as if the grey comes out a bit light and the green has a bit of a blue cast. Do you find that colours can get altered from your original design a little once they are in the game engine? I've done a few skins for racing games and one or two for X-Plane, but I haven't done anything for DCS. What's your opinion? i7-7700K/Gigabyte RTX2080/Win10 64bit/32Gb RAM/Asus Xonar DX+Sennheiser HD380pro headphones/LG 34" UM65 @2560x1080/TM Warthog+VKB MkIV Rudder pedals/Rift CV1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
