Skin for first person (Cockpit view) with Tiger Stripe camouflage pattern flight suit

While it might be accurate that (US) AH64 operators wear multicam flight suits, i was somewhat puzzled that even if the (ED original) skin had other camouflage patterns in the outside view(OD, UCP, the japanese one i dont know the name of), the pilot body inside the cockpit always had the multicam texture.

After looking around the user files section i realized there was no skin for the first person view. All skins i found were for the external view.
So i decided to make one for myself, which i want to share with the community, especially the ones which dislike the multicam pattern and are somewhat flexible in "aesthetics vs realism" for non technical aspects of the sim.

How to get this to show up in the sim:

Open
[drive you installed DCS on]:\DCS\Mods\aircraft\AH-64D\Cockpit\Textures\AH-64D-CPT-TEXTURES.zip
in windows explorer.
backup
Pilot_AH64_FP_jacket.dds
Pilot_AH64_FP_pants.dds
Pilot_AH64_FP_pouches.dds
(i had the occurence of no textures for the whole pilot body show up while testing back and forth, so a backup is highly recommended)

drag&drop

Pilot_AH64_FP_jacket.dds
Pilot_AH64_FP_pants.dds
Pilot_AH64_FP_pouches.dds
into the opened zip

confirm overwrite

to get a texture matching the inside pilot texture with the outside one get the "Atlas - AH-64D" skin.

From the google drive folder sel ect "Atlas Apache Tigerstripe" and include "AH-64D_pilot_body.dds" in the folder and description.LUA of your skin

While this might be the most unelegant and crude way to make the texture show up, i have no idea how to do a description.LUA for the cockpit.EDM. If someone is able to hint me in the right direction i will gladly change this to a more appropiate procedure.
Because this alters original game files, this will probably not work in online play.
