Replaces MPDs with MPCDs upgrades similar to export variants. Makes certain fonts and symbology white/green/blue. TPOD now shows grayscales in every MPD. (Formerly called F-15E Grayscale MPD and FLIR)
Also Includes texture file to change MPD's green background to LCD style.

HOW TO INSTALL OVGME AND MOD:
I recommend getting OVGME or JSGME just incase you want to easily revert back to original files for servers that require pure scripts, or just enjoy the F-15E with green MPDs as intended. To install, extract "F-15E Grayscale MPD" to your preferred mod manager folder. For textures, extract "F-15E-CPT" in "Saved Games/dcs.openbeta/Liveries". Check below for detailed installation guide.
1- Create a new folder in your main DCS World folder and rename it to "OVGME Mods".
2- Install OVGME -

3- Launch OVGME, it will prompt you to create a new configuration.
a- Configuration Title: DCS Mods
b- Configuration Root Folder: Select your main DCS World folder
c- Configuration Mods Folder: Select your OVGME Mods folder in your DCS World folder, for eg in my case "D:\Games\DCS World OpenBeta\OVGME Mods"
4- Download this mod and open the zip folder. Extract "F-15E Grayscale MPCD" folder to "OVGME Mods"
5- In OVGME, right click "F-15E Grayscale MPCD" and click toggle to enable the mod.
6- For LCD Textures (OPTIONAL), Extract "F-15E-CPT" in "Optional" folder to C:\Users\YourUserName\Saved Games\dcs or dcs.openbeta\Liveries
