[NOT A BUG] Static JF-17 Serials

[Rudel_chw]

Hello,

 

This isnt a critical bug, but maybe it is easy to fix:

 

When I place on a mission a human or AI controlled JF-17, I can specify 3 digits for its tail number; but on the Static JF-17 the mission designer can't specify the tail number and the Module supplies its own numbers, that seem to start with 074. So, on a flight line that includes Statics, we get something like this:

 

 

 

The problem is that the PAK serials for the JF-17 start with the tail number 101. There is no JF-17 with a tail number lower than 101, so we end up with fictional tail numbers even if we use a real livery.

 

Would it be possible to get the Static JF-17 tail numbers began with 101? For now, I can place uncontrolled JF-17's in place of Statics, but I'd like to be able to use statics to save a little performance :thumbup:

 

Best regards and thank you for a wonderful DCS aircraft.

The reason is the first two numbers are production year, then hyphen, then block number, then the individual production line number.

 

For example JF-17Bs may have serial 19-603, it was made in 2019, it’s block 6 becuase there were originally five blocks planned so B takes the slot for block 6, and it’s the third JF-17B made

 

So for the closest on the top picture, it would be 2010, then block 0(impossible), then the 75th made.

 

The one on the bottom closest would be production 2010, Block 1, number 25, and actually exists https://defence.pk/pdf/threads/jf-17-thunder-serial-number-pictorial-collection.252868/page-3

Yes, it exists .. that is my plane, note that it has a pilot, so I made sure to select a true serial.

 

However, there is no JF-17 with a serial 10-112 or lower ... the lowest is 07-101 ... so, that’s why I was asking if the static JF-17 could please start with serial 101.

cannot do that

or you need to report to ED

Ok, I understand. I will use the workaround of using uncontrolled aircrafts instead of statics.
