Mensur Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 Hi, Does anyone know how to make the Egyptian skins for the bottom link work? https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/894994/ I copied and pasted everything correctly, still the skins wont show up, it shows the plain Serbian MIG21 skin. Help anyone?

Mensur Posted June 4, 2015 Author Posted June 4, 2015 Tell me something I don't know. There is no Arabic numerals on that one, and the '73 skin is not present. 1
zebra0312 Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 (edited) On the other skins i see no custom numbers too ... i think that feature isnt working at the moment. Edit: Yep, i looked through the forum and it has been removed. It will come back in the "V2.0 version" of the MiG21 ... http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=116893 ("Re-introduction of tactical numbering"), http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=138717 (here's why).

Maico249th Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 I for one am dying for a Egyptian, Syria or Iraqi skin. I have hit the same wall with this skin. Does the skin work without numbers? Thanks
zebra0312 Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 The updated 1982 skin in the 2nd post is working for me without numbers, but there is no updated file for the 1973 skin which is in my opinion more beautiful. I hope we're getting more skins in DCS:World 2. I would love to see more eastern european (Hungary :P), arabic and maybe african skins ...

speckfire Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 (edited) I am going to make skins when they release Edge and update the Mig-21. I have done a couple for the old Mig-21 in FC2. Trust me there are some great skinners out there waiting too. Hopefully I'll try to redo those for Edge. Edited June 5, 2015 by speckfire Adding pics Speed is life !!!
joey45 Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 I too am waiting..... The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Mainstay Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 I have a few Egyptian liveries on my list to do aswell. But im waiting for the official template from Leatherneck and Leatherneck will release it after DCS World 2 gets released. So i guess we will have to wait. Some on my to do list
speckfire Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 Hmm I should reverse the greens on my Egyptian one, it will look like the 1st pic you posted mainstay ;) Speed is life !!!
Cobra847 Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 We have (I believe) 3 Egyptian skins coming with the new 2.0 Revision of the MiG-21. Nicholas Dackard Founder & Lead Artist Heatblur Simulations https://www.facebook.com/heatblur/
goodpoints Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 I for one am dying for a Egyptian, Syria or Iraqi skin. I have hit the same wall with this skin. Does the skin work without numbers? Thanks I was able to get keefyboy's VPAF skins working by changing the following line in each description.lua file: changed {"MIG21BIS_SER_TAIL", DECAL ,"MiG21Bis_SerNum_Tail",true}; to {"MIG21BIS_SER_TAIL", DECAL ,"MiG21Bis_SerNum_Tail",false}; It's worked fine so far, the skins show up when enabled in mission editor or mission planner. The numbers show up as well, I don't really understand why they would cause different problems than anything else in the texture but I know very little about coding. Is the intention that it would be possible to use a custom number or something?
