For the Mi-8, if you are trying to remove the tail bort numbers, put the file name as empty..example: {"mi_8_BALKA_1_2_NUMBER_001", DECAL ,"empty",true}; For the Huey, missing Textures are common with misspelled words...as an example, look at: DCS World OpenBeta\Bazar\Liveries\uh-1h\USA Red Flag See the 3 files that are inside the folder (beginning with redflag) then look inside the lua file and notice how they have the word "false" use that as a baseline for your lua file. meaning whatever files you have modified in the folder, it says false... and whetever you do not modify...it says true

they have been attached to CVW-3 from 1992-2014...where did you search for this...they have recently transferred to CVW-8 HISTORY PAGE VFA-37

I'm sure ED doesn't listen...I have yet to hear word back from them.

Thank you Strut! I did try it, and it does not work on Open Beta. Maybe I need to grab more SSD's to start saving a multitude of Versions...

Anyone have the ability, or show me how to find the Lua file on the Stennis. I have modified the CVN-74_Tga file to remove the John C Stennis on the stern of the carrier, but I cannot figure out the callout for this texture to be replaced.

I would like to ask the community if there is a way to make a set of props that have the white/red/white stripes blurred out...my attempts have failed, they show up as black blotches... I have a few minor touchups and will post the links in a few.

Did some searching for other skins of the KC-130, and I've come up with 2 sets. First one will be for the A-4E (once we can refuel with it). 2nd one is the modern version that they currently fly. Download Link here... or go to the downloads section and look for VR-55... DOWNLOAD LINK --2nd-- Photo of Pilot suit...

glad to have helped... now if we can get the Template for the Pilot and Drop Tanks, I'll be Happy, and i can finish my VA-81 Livery!

Uploaded files... Minor updates to skin color Orange Jump suit...400 and 401 have faded suits (old farts) the rest are brighter orange

{"Pilot", 0, "a4e_pilot", false};

{"Pilot", 0, "a4e_pilot", false};

try this line {"KC-130_FPod", ROUGHNESS_METALLIC ,"KC-130_map_drg_RAF_SPEC",false};

Whether it is portrayed AoA Too High = 18 1/2 -30 High = 18 - 18 12/2 Optimum = 17 -18 Low = 16 1/2 - 17 Too Low = 0 - 16 1/2

I had the same Issue. Try the tutorial "Takeoff" in the missions first. One thing I have noticed is that it does not work on NTTR (for me) and seems more at home on the Caucasus Map, I have flown on PG Map with no issues as well.

I don't think there is a key binding for it...But you are looking for Plan/Profile in the A/G mode...right?

Good Find!! Thank you for that. I was looking at the Roughmet picture, and it'll need to be changed there. But that's beyond my level of understanding how to recreate it at this point.

I think the texture for it is missing...odd that the shape file has it, just no call-out for texture. Fan might be..."high-speed-fan", check previous thread for naming convention

For the Cockpit photo I used: {"Photograph", 0, "lookatthisphotograph", false}; --end Which is in the "Mods\aircraft\A-4E-C\Cockpit\Textures\lookatthisphotograph.png Edit: it is 1024x1024

Step One, learn to paint... Step Two, save money and get a good Editor. One out of two ain't bad! Here's my paint of VA-81 https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3302662/ Edit: Google Photo link because ED does not display it as an image Edit2: Uploaded to User files.

cool...thanks Baco

Two part question. 1. is there a paint template for the drop tanks and pilot? 2. where is the arresting hook, and the two objects towards the rear of the main gear fairings that looks like an Antenna and the other is the bottom beacon light to repaint?

I got the okay from Lipstick-06 (wife) last month, so as was looking for plans for a Hornet SimPit...Now I await your release of the plans!! THe rnederings look really cool.

Nicholas, would it be easy to make the livery for the USS Saratoga (CV-60).
