SkateZilla Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 I'm literally looking at the logs, Which is why I said, if it cannot find the livery, NOTHING is set, it loads the model w/ the textures that were on it when it was exported, which just happened to be VFA37.

MARLAN_ Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 They should improve their "nothing"/"livery not found" case. On a slightly different but related note, if a `description.lua` is missing (or the flags) the default should be no numbers (or one style, e.g. USN) rather than ALL numbers displayed. Its quite weird that they inverted it when they made this change, its no surprise that there have been countless issues since then.

SkateZilla Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 (edited) I am communicating with the team, As I've said, The issue is the exported state of the model, textures, and modex group visibility. This is the model when it's loaded without any description.lua or livery direction: This is the model when "Default Livery" is applied: I suggested 2 fixes, 1 for the hornet specifically, 1 for the issue globally (as it affects all aircraft, not just the hornet, the hornet is just plastered with a dozen plus modex groups). Fix 1 for hornet would be to reverse the visibility argument of the modex groups so they are all off in no load model state. BUT, This would force all livery creators to edit their livery files. Fix 2 is global, if Livery Description lua file not found, use \Default Livery\. Or Fix 3, Apply default Livery textures to the model materials in max and re-export the EDMs, so when no livery is found it would load the blanked off default textures.

Both myself and the AI wingman have it. No changes to the mission were made.

ED Team Lord Vader Posted March 21 ED Team Share Posted March 21 Hi Guys We believe we have found the culprit for this particular issue. I have raised this internally for analysis. Do bear in mind this will be a low priority item for now. Thanks for your patience. 2 Esquadra 701 - DCS Portugal - Discord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
