- .NET 8 is required to run Livery Link. You will be prompted to install it if you don't already have it.
Livery Link's purpose is twofold:
- A desktop application to simplify downloading, installing & managing DCS Liveries.
- An automatic livery sharing mod for DCS.
Click the screenshot to watch a short video
- Livery Link auto-starts with DCS World.
- When you connect to a server which has Livery Link running, your client will connect.
- When you spawn an aircraft, any liveries you installed with Livery Link will be shared with other players.
- When another player shares a livery with the server, your client will download and install it automatically.
- Extract all contents into the folder of your choice.
- Run
LiveryLink.exeto initialize the app. - Locate your
Saved Games\DCSfolder if prompted. - Choose
Yesto install the scripts.
In order to automatically share liveries to other players, they must also have Livery Link, and the server you are flying on must be running Livery Link Server.
The server will be made available for DCS server hosts with the v1.0 release. Pre-release is available for Patreon supporters.
