Rave Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 The bort numbers, along with all other parts of the livery are controlled by the description.lua file in the skin's folder. For example, here's a small part of that file from a skin I'm working on, which controls one of the numbers on the left side of the nose. Each of these blocks of code refers to a certain digit somewhere on the plane, to turn it off I have it reference a texture called "empty" and the "true" tells the game to look for this texture outside of the livery's folder. {"F18C_BORT_NUMBER_NOSE_L_100", 0 ,"F18C_1_DIFF_VMFA-142",false}; {"F18C_BORT_NUMBER_NOSE_L_100", ROUGHNESS_METALLIC ,"F18C_1_DIF_RoughMet",true}; {"F18C_BORT_NUMBER_NOSE_L_100", DECAL ,"empty",true}; The easiest way to do it would be to find a skin you've downloaded that doesn't have any of these numbers on it, and copy the sections you need to use over to yours making any necessary edits to get it to work with your skin. I actually deleted those entries so basically my description.lua looks like this livery = { {"f18c1", 0 ,"F18C_1_DIFFtest_02",false}; {"f18c1", ROUGHNESS_METALLIC ,"F18C_1_DIF_RoughMet",true}; {"f18c2", 0 ,"F18C_2_DIFFtest_02",false}; {"f18c2", ROUGHNESS_METALLIC ,"F18C_2_DIF_RoughMet",true}; } name = "F18C_Test_02" I had a feeling this was wrong but gave it a try anyways lol. I think i know what your saying though so thank you. Aloha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCamper Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Working on a VAQ-141 "Shadowhawks" livery. They are an EA-18G unit, however, one of my buddies is in this unit and wanted to fly their squadron in-game... Hey man, do you finish this livery?

Porkins Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 I have a question related to uploading skins. I have worked on building the full series of "prototype" full scale development Hornets number 2 through 9 and I am asking whether it's proper to upload individually or in one large entry that has them all in one? I don't want to anger the community in my first offering by committing some faux pax? All one file entry? Or individually? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My suggestion would be to pair them up into a single file for ease of downloading. 1 Marvin "Cactus" Palmer DCS:World 2.5(ob) Gigabyte Z390 Designare i7-9700K (4.6GHz), 32Gb RAM (3600MHz), GTX2070, 40" 1080p Monitor, TM Warthog, Saitek Rudder pedals,TM Cougar MFD, and an ipad.

Porkins Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 (edited) Uploaded an easier skin to start with. I'm a real sucker for retro stuff, especially 1960s and 1970s US Navy liveries. VA-93 Ravens A-7 Corsair II livery for Hornet while we wait for the actual Corsair II to be released.
