MIG-21 Egyptian Skins

[Mensur]

Hi,

 

Does anyone know how to make the Egyptian skins for the bottom link work?

I copied and pasted everything correctly, still the skins wont show up, it shows the plain Serbian MIG21 skin. Help anyone?

There's an updated version of the 1982 skin:

Tell me something I don't know. There is no Arabic numerals on that one, and the '73 skin is not present.

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).

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

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 ...

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.

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

Hmm I should reverse the greens on my Egyptian one, it will look like the 1st pic you posted mainstay ;)

Oh- I see. Guess we'll have to wait..

We have (I believe) 3 Egyptian skins coming with the new 2.0 Revision of the MiG-21.

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?
