BlueAngel Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Is there a way to remove all bort numbers on tail, nose and top? Really annoying on some liveries as it's also poorly implemented with no alpha channel, just a lazy number set with painted background.

More than any other thing that pertains to the body it partakes of the nature of the divine." — Plato, Phaedrus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ST0RM Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 In the skin description file, you can change "FALSE" to "TRUE" on the decals you dont want to show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueAngel Posted March 20, 2020 Author Share Posted March 20, 2020 In the skin description file, you can change "FALSE" to "TRUE" on the decals you dont want to show. Sorry, but I don't think that's how that's syntax works. I think that's an instruction to search the current folder and if the texture isn't there it will place a "missing texture" placeholder.

CucoNegron6924 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 So, is the bort number the thing I see now on the tail of the F-16C after the last update. Is so, how can I remove it, it looks bad. Is this addition to the liveries supposed to be there? Cuco Negron San Juan, PR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishermanivan Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 How about for liveries that don't have any bort entries, like the Norwegian liveries... I copied it from the US Aggressor livery and then it didn't show up at all.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shahdoh Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 (edited) Bort numbers are many times in the description lua 1 digit at a time, so it may be that you missed an entry, or need to find what it is for that particular one and add it in. Edit: Some things to keep in mind concerning the description.lua entries, lets break down what each section does: {"su27_tex01", 0 ,"Su27_tex01_for",true}; "su27_tex01", is the link to the actual part that is getting painted - this MUST match with the info in the .EDM file 0 , this section is for the value for the type of layer or texture this is going to be (2=Spec / 0=Dif / Decal / etc) there are others but do not know the specifics "Su27_tex01_for", is for the name of the texture that will be used on this part. If the next value is true, this MUST be in the texture.zip file for the aircraft (usually the default name). If next value is false, you can name the texture file anything you please and it should be in the same folder as this description.lua true tells DCS whether the texture file is in the default location (in that aircraft's texture\Su-27.zip file) or (false) = its in another location, usually the same folder the description.lua is in.
