Was everyone in formation on MT? I hear that this issue is not in the ST version of DCS. EDIT: So far I've heard from 11 people having the same issue, all on MT.

First qusetion: What you ask is, from what I know, not possible so I will give you the standard answer. If you are only adding/modifying your name on the cockpit for customization, you only need to change the fuselage part (DIFF 1) of that livery. Unless you fly sorties with 40+ jets on a single airbase lining up for departure, don't worry about performance drop due to liveries. Second question: How I've seen many virtual squadrons do it: Create the batch of liveries, throw it as a package on Google Drive or whatever and send everyone a notice with the link of it. If you update liveries at some point, create another pack that's identical to the previous one just with updated textures and description.luas so it's easy to overwrite the old pack. I don't know anything about a poissible fallback livery. If you have a livery others don't, for them you will have the default livery of the Hornet.

With these argument values, you can fine tune what bort numbers show. If you set Tail, Flaps and nose to 0.0, you get this result for instance:

After updating with today's patch, I noticed a weird behaviour with the Hornet liveries(Viper too as a matter of fact). If you select a custom livery, all bort numbers, even those that are hidden with the description.lua, are now showing up. Note the "10" all over the aircraft on positions, it isn't intended. If you toggle through the list and select the Blue Angels livery, which has no bort numbers, they disappear, as intended. Now switch back to the previous livery and poof, all bort numbers gone. Is this a recurring bort number bug or has something changed within DCS livery files that I missed?

Does this update work on a default WH throttle? Never done such a firmware update.

Was reported as a bug. Fingers crossed it's fixed soon.

For the Israel liveries the tail numbers are not showing anymore(see screenshot attached). For all F-16C liveries, the board numbers on the intake are not showing anymore.

Any indication when the template might be released?
