Colt40Five Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 So I'm screwing around making skins for the F-15. How do you prevent the tail numbers and the badges on the sides of the fuselage from being displayed? It's not on my skin so it's got to be another file??

Deadman Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 which skin number? the tail numbers are in the tga file TACTNUMBERS-USAF-BLACK and there are 9 F-15 patch DEf in the TGA files .you can just make a blank tga file the same size name the same and put it in to the bazar temp textur folder and see what happens https://www.shapeways.com/shops/a-10c-warthog-supplies https://forum.dcs.world/topic/133818-deadmans-cockpit-base-plans/#comment-133824 CNCs and Laser engravers are great but they can't do squat with out a precise set of plans.

SuperKungFu Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 damn my internet screwed up right when i posed a message to this post. So sorry if this is a double post. Anyway, i remember i saw a download over at lockonfiles that removed the tail #. I believed i downloaded it and instead of carrying the 01 symbol, i change it to 999 and it will go away.

Deadman Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 hum thats intersting the mods for removing tga ie numbers and patches. I have seen have been a new tga file but blank with the graphic and alpha chanel both removed https://www.shapeways.com/shops/a-10c-warthog-supplies https://forum.dcs.world/topic/133818-deadmans-cockpit-base-plans/#comment-133824 CNCs and Laser engravers are great but they can't do squat with out a precise set of plans.

Colt40Five Posted October 2, 2006 Author Share Posted October 2, 2006 so what you're saying is that if I make a blank tga file called TACTNUMBERS-USAF-BLACK (skin # 3? format??) and drop it in temptextures that will clear it up? I'm gonna have to look through some of my skins and see if I have one that already has this file in it I can just rename. Thanks.

Deadman Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Hi colt for def 3 on the f-15 third skin in the payload try the attached TGA file they will pull the numbers off all the F-15s and the patches off the intakes on the third skin only . Just put both files in the Temp Texture folder and it may work. take it easy your welcome:pilotfly: https://www.shapeways.com/shops/a-10c-warthog-supplies https://forum.dcs.world/topic/133818-deadmans-cockpit-base-plans/#comment-133824 CNCs and Laser engravers are great but they can't do squat with out a precise set of plans.
