How to change pilots name on aircraft?

Is there a way to change the pilot's name on the aircraft? I mean to change it to my name. Is this done with modifying the skin? And if that is the case, can we modify *any* of the skins that are currently available or just the default one, in this case, for the F-5E from Belsimtek?

Thanks,

DB

We can modify any skin, but other people won't see it. Check - https://forums.eagle.ru/forumdisplay.php?f=356

Edit: I'll expand for clarity.

Pilot names are part of the skin. You can change the aircraft number without modifying the skin.

Other players can see the skin IF they download it (very rare).

Thanks for the info. I was hoping I could modify the skin and then in a multiplayer game hosted by me the other players could see it. So they would have to download and then install the skin first to see it. Bummer. :no_sad:

I wish auto download were an option. Maybe one day in the future.

I remember in Il-2, the skins folder was huge.

Some online servers do carry a decent selection of user skins :)

Same with other FPS games. CS:S for example also downloads all the custom skins, sounds etc.
