Eldur Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 this gave me an idea and im sort of surprised its not a thing already. we can already change the side numbers of aircraft why not the names on the canopy? what if the plane could read the player name in the seat so if "Bill" was pilot his name would show up on the canopy based on your dcs MP name and if a player joined as RIO it would replace the Jester label? unlikely but that would be pretty cool and save repainters some work making a plane for each pair in a squadron for example and is a bit of personalization tech that could be applied to other aircraft possibly. seems like it could be the same tech used to change the side #s so I cant imagine it would be too hard to do. and if names cant be read like that then maybe a field to enter them on the loadout screen like with board #s? (please no delays because I had an Idea :thumbup: ) Great idea, but it's ED's job to provide that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tekrc Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 (edited) Great idea, but it's ED's job to provide that I know it is. though I was thinking since HB deal with their own aircraft it could be done on their end until ed puts it in globally Edited February 21, 2019 by tekrc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(please no delays because I had an Idea :thumbup: ) Would be a Nice addition that I imagine wouldn't be too hard for ED to add.. just a script that takes the name and nickname from your active logbook and adds it to your aircraft, otherwise everyone needs an entirely separate skin just to have their name on the side Please visit this thread and add a plus 1 to show support for getting a full fidelity Su-17/20/22 in game https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=220572 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least it would add a reason to even bother with the current logbook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was helping my friend make hornet skins before and this was the issue for those too. skin for every person is a fair bit of work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert31178 Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Thanks for the reminder Izzy! Hopefully someone will make a Zott skin for us, it's my second fav behind the original VF-143 skin! I was tickled to death when the demo was released and we saw the VF-143 did get one in the release!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byeohazard Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 I wonder if anyone will make a vf-1 Fire bird skin ala Top Gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnie Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Has anyone managed to find the distant LOD DDS? I have the 3 in 1, but I get to a point where I'm zoomed out, and the skin reverts to grey (even with the stock white and hi vis skins. i7 10700k @4.8GHz | Aurora GTX 3080 | Samsung NVMe m.2 970 Pro 1Tb x 3 | Corsair 64GB DDR4 3200MHz HP Reverb G2 | Vkb Gunfighter II MCG Pro Stick | Virpil T-50CM Throttle | MFG Crosswind Pedals | Custom built collective | 150 button custom cockpit with 3 x Cougar MFDs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
