Not possible to obtain correct fuselage numbers

Recommended Posts

It is not possible to obtain correct fuselage numbers for the FW 190 A-8 for the first 9 aircraft in the squadron.

 

German fighters from WW2 had numbers that display on the side of the aircraft. These were coloured to indicate the squadron, but they would range from 1 to 9, then 10 onwards. They never had a leading zero. However, in DCS, it is not possible to obtain numbers without the leading zero. This applies to all FW 190 A-8 aircraft where the number can be changed (it does not apply for the baked-on paintschemes).

 

Preparation:

  • New mission, Normandy map, 1x FW 190 A8, ramp start
  • Run the mission on my own server

 

My procedure:

  1. Start the mission.
  2. Use the re-arm/refuel option.
  3. Try various combinations of "1" or "01" or "  1" (space, then one), "-1", etc.
  4. In all cases, a leading zero is displayed (INCORRECT)

 

Notes:

  • This is probably a coding issue, because it applies to all FW 190 A-8 skins
  • This problem does not exist on either the FW 190 D-9 or the Bf 109 K-9.
  • I have attached a track file which shows the problem.
