New page

Custom Aircraft are typically installed to

\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Mods\aircraft\'''YOURMODNAMEHERE'''

For Example C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Mods\aircraft\'''A10C
'''

Typical Folder Structure for a mod looks like this:

'''->{ModName}'''
'''>Bin''' Only needed for custom EFM modules, your .dll's will go here, otherwise not needed
'''>Cockpit''' All cockpit files can be(but don't need to be) contained within
'''>Shapes''' Can contain cockpit .EDM files
'''>Textures''' Can contain cockpit texture files
'''>Scripts''' All cockpit scripts are contained here, Typically you will have several sub-folders to better organize all of your systems
'''>Systems'''
'''>HUD'''
'''>Doc''' Typically contains any documentation such as flightmanuals, button mappings, etc
'''>FM''' Not neccesary for SFM modules, used in conjunction with EFM .dlls
'''>Theme''' This is where your menus and theme are configured/stored, can also be named "ImagesGUI"
'''>Input''' Contains all input files for Joystick/Keyboard/Mouse
'''>I10n''' Language + translation data
'''>Liveries''' Contains livery textures
'''>Missions''' Contains mission files specific to that aircraft
'''>Options''' Contains option settings specific to your aircraft
'''>Shapes''' Typically contains all .EDM and .LOD 3d models for your aircraft
'''>Textures''' Typically contains all external(though possibly cockpit as well) textures
'''>Sounds''' Contains all sound files for your aircraft

They are pretty self-explainitory, and not all of the folders are required for a mod to work. Typically you need at least Doc, Theme, Input, I10n, Options, Shapes, and Textures for your Aircraft to function. As a side note, any folder can be loaded by using the "mount-VFS" command in your aircraft lua configuration file.
