Missing Textures 1.5 (All Skins)

[Wizard_03]

Me too no Tac numbers on any skins

[Cobra847]

Seems to be machine dependent. (Works fine on some, not so much on others)

 

Will investigate.

For example, on my machine, the Russian camo skin works fine, bort numbers and all, but the "2.0 test" one is glitched like on the OP's screen above. Haven't tested the others yet.

As I've mentioned before, the 21 uses a unconventional use of tac numbers not supported 100% by ED's code.

 

I'll write up a how-to after I finish testing with the 3d model.

Thanks for looking into this

[Wizard_03]

Thank you, new skins are awesome btw

[terminator363]

I read somewhere that we would be getting like 20 new skins? What happened? I only have like 5 or 6.

Great, thank you!

 

I am one of the unlucky, but the upgrades to the model and skin are really impressive! My long-time favorite skin is the VVS Grey and the upgrades really bring it to life. Frankly, it looks awesome even with holes in the fuselage. :thumbup:

 

Also, the flight model upgrades are excellent, much smoother escalation of AOA as you slow below corner speed, seems more realistic.

 

Overall, I'm VERY happy with the improvements, even more so once these few small glitches get worked out.

 

Thank you for continuing to upgrade the best module in DCS. :D

PS - LOVE the Beta 2.0 skin. I think MiGs look great in natural metal - that classic "evil empire" look from my youth. :D

 

EDIT: Interesting finding with the missing textures - it doesn't effect instant action missions. If I pick the camouflaged Russian skin (185th) on "Create mission" the glitch is present. The same skin on "Instant action" is working perfectly. Hope this helps to track it down.

This texture problem shows only when you change the default bort number.

 

If you put a new Mig-21 in the mission editor and don´t touch the bort number, everything runs fine.

 

Only if you change the bort number.

^ I don't think this is a definitive answer, as I noticed the glitch in random quick mission without changing anything except the skin (to the 2.0 test version). Further testing is going to be necessary.

[terminator363]

I never changed these settings and I still have the missing texture :/

Negative on that statement. Haven't messed with the editor, nothing, and got the same issue off the bat:

[Wizard_03]

^agreed I used create fast mission and just changed the skin and load outs when I discovered this. Did not mess with the bort numbers

Interesting, I also use "Create Fast Mission" and only change the skin - no Bort changes - but mine is missing textures.

 

However, my "Instant Action" missions are fine. Maybe create fast mission is attempting to change the Bort numbers for some reason on certain machines?

 

When I get home from work tonight, I'll create a test mission in the mission editor and see if that has the same issue.

PS - I hope these issues can be sorted with your current Bort number system. The rendering and appearance of these numbers is MUCH nicer than the standard Borts, which to me are often a weak point visually.

Yep, the skins on stock instant action missions seem to display correctly. But in any fast missions created by the user, the same skins get glitched as shown above. That's a bit strange.

I think you right. Has anyone tried the LN single missions or training missions?

[bart]

I have this issue also......see sig for PC specs.

 

I thought it might be a corrupt download so un-installed the beta, then did a full fresh install. Same result. I even had to use an activation to get it working in the beta...strange as its on the same drive as my main installation. Down to 1 life left now :(

 

I also cant get the throttle to work either on my hotas, it shows up red on thecontrol bindings. Left throttle works fine on brakes lever on the stick. Has anyone else had this?

I placed a mig-21 in the mission editor and have no problems with the skin! Tryed every skin in the list and all worked like they should. Than i changed the tail number from 010 to 13 and i got the same problem as you mentioned. I changed the tail number than to 013 and everything was working again. It seems you need a leeding 0 befor the number?

[Wizard_03]

Interesting yeah I just had a value of 9 in the tail number box when I was experimenting. I will try that asap

[terminator363]

Honestly it shouldn't matter what game play mode you use. This glitch shouldn't exist.

It seems the tail number has to be a 3 digit number.

Trying 09 - > error, trying 009 everthing works just fine. And a leeding 0 doesn't be necessary, it works with 109 for example too. So, just make sure you have a 3 digit tail number and everything is fine.

It makes sense, since the numbers are not the exact same code that ED uses per Rudel's posts

I don't think it depends on the game play mode. I think it's the tailnumber not being a 3 digit number for that mission.
