# Principle
|
||||
|
||||
Frustrated that your motherland is not a possible choice in DCS Liberation, annoyed that an aircraft is missing in your favorite faction ?
|
||||
Good news, you can now mod factions in liberation !
|
||||
|
||||
And these custom factions can be created easily with a text editor as a json file.
|
||||
|
||||
You can put your own factions configuration json files in the folder **./resources/factions**
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Then restart DCS Liberation to have the faction loaded.
|
||||
|
||||
If there is no error, your custom faction will appear in the New Game Wizard.
|
||||
If there is an error with the file it will not appear, please check the content of the console output, it might contains hints about the error. First please verify is the json syntax is valid.
|
||||
|
||||
# File format
|
||||
|
||||
This json file should contain a json object, with the following parameters :

||||

||||

|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
**Note :**
|
||||
|
||||
*I highly recommend you look at the default files provided in DCS Liberation for examples.
|
||||
|
||||
All parameters have default value, so you do not have to set them all up.
