I'm a sucker for old 1960s and 1970s US Navy paint schemes. I changed the ARGs to use the old type helmet. The helmet file is pretty bland and so is the fuel tank.
This is the VA-93 Ravens scheme from when they were on the Midway. Sadly VA-93 was disestablished just before transitioning to the F/A-18A hornets. This might be how they looked if I was in charge of painting aircraft in the Navy.
Unpack the rar file in your savedgames/DCS.openbeta/liveries/FA-18C_hornet/ folder.
If you already have the skin, the description LUA file is the only thing that changed. You would have to replace the last part, the "custom_args =" part with
custom_args =
{
[509] = 1.0, --Helmet Change
[27] = 0, -- Tail change of type of board number (0 = BORT numbers visible, 1 = BORT numbers not visible )
[1000] = 0, -- Flaps
[1001] = 0, -- Nose
[1002] = 1, -- Kuwait Squadron
[1003] = 1, -- Australian Squadron
[1004] = 1, -- Finland Squadron
[1005] = 1, -- Switzerland Squadron
}
