Unmarked C-17 Globemaster

A user on a Discord server requested a livery template for the C-17. Unfortunately, the available C-17 model doesn't have a single _sign file for the entire aircraft. The _sign files are for the fuselage, and the wing .dds files have embedded USAF markings.

This guide applies to the Boeing C-17 in the ZF1 pack and the WarpackUSA Pack:

• C-17 in the 140 add-on planes compilation
• C-17 in WarpackUSA

Once you've installed these packs according to their instructions, open the dlc.rpf with OpenIV.

Follow this path to overwrite the file:

...GTAV/mods/update/x64/dlcpacks/ZF1/dlc.rpf/x64/levels/gta5/vehicles.rpf/globe.ytd

or

...GTAV\mods\update\x64\dlcpacks\warpackusa\dlc.rpf\x64\levels\gta5\vehicles\vehicles.rpf\globe.ytd

If you want to keep the original liveries, extract the ch130.ytd file in OpenIV. I usually extract the original .ytd to the same folder as the dlc.rpf and rename it to origglobe.ytd.

...GTAV/mods/update/x64/dlcpacks/ZF1/dlc.rpf/x64/levels/gta5/vehicles.rpf/ch130.ytd 

To preview the livery, click on the globe.yft or globe_hi.yft file to open the OpenIV Model Viewer and see how the model will look with the new livery.

Once satisfied, close the model viewer, launch GTAV, and spawn the globe using your preferred trainer.

I've included the original C-17 .dds files (as a reference for roundel placement) along with the .dds files I created so you can add your own paint jobs.

Feel free to use this as a base for creating liveries for the IAF, RAF, RAAF, RCAF, etc. Enjoy!
