How/where do I set a Spad 7 skin to use the "mesh" engine fairing?

[Mulbin]

Hi all, 

I'm skinning my first Spad 7 for my own campaign. I really want to use the alternate mesh side panels on the cowling rather than the slotted cowling, but I have no idea how to make this happen! Some default skins seem to swap this section out, and I can see the mesh cowlings in the DDS but no idea how to specify a skin uses them.

Hello @Mulbín
In order to be able to see the engine grille.
Use the alpha template.
Select the Shading layer you will see sublayers.
You will see early and late grid.
Select Remove louvres.
Save the alpha template and copy it to your skin template.

I hope it works for you.

Thanks! Its because I didn't know there were templates, I've been editing an existing DDS! I'll use the templates from now on.
