Custom helmets?
Hey fellas,

I’m really wanting to make custom helmets for my RIO buddy and I but I have no idea where to start. How do I make a custom helmet? How do I make it show up in the game?

Thanks gents

you gotta find the link for the template, use the file for that to do teh texturing work.

after that you need to make a description.lua file, i recommend using another F-14 skin the one your basing your custom liverie on. and then edit it so that the helmet texture is whatever you named yours.

then you just make a folder, plop the files you need into it naming it whatever livery you want (recommend not a duplicate) and bam?

It sounds like you know what you’re doing but boy that seems like a lot for a lay person like my myself. I’ll sure give it my best shot though

Do you know if I can make it different for the pilot and RIO?

Also, do you know where I can find that template and what program do I need to use to make a helmet skin?

Are you sure? I downloaded skins with different helmets between the RIO and Pilot. The Patriot skin has different helmets, as does the Maverick/Goose[www.digitalcombatsimulator.com] one (you can see they're different in one of the screen shots).

I don't know if they used a template or what, but it's possible to have different helmets.
