chromium Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 (edited) Hello, just to ask if it's possibile to have 3-digit bort numbers for the apache template. That could be optimal if it's possibile to have them: - on the tail (balka1), medium size (160 px) - on the vertical stabilizer, small-medium size (110 px) (balka2) - on the front part of bottom1 and botton2 that might accomodate a lot of possibile counterparts of real life, both apaches or else (i.e. Tiger, Mangusta) Thanks in advance if it's possible Edited April 10, 2022 by chromium Author of DSMC, mod to enable scenario persistency and save updated miz file Stable version & site: https://dsmcfordcs.wordpress.com/ Openbeta: https://github.com/Chromium18/DSMC The thing is, helicopters are different from planes. An airplane by it's nature wants to fly, and if not interfered with too strongly by unusual events or by a deliberately incompetent pilot, it will fly. A helicopter does not want to fly. It is maintained in the air by a variety of forces in opposition to each other, and if there is any disturbance in this delicate balance the helicopter stops flying; immediately and disastrously.

I'm asking 3 digit cause AFAIK it wasn't possibile to set more than 3 in mission editor. Am I wrong?

Swift. Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 On 4/12/2022 at 11:02 AM, bradmick said: The tail numbers are 5 digits for our birds in the format: 00-0000. Is that a universal thing or unit specific? I see these apache supposedly from 1-25 ARB have 3 digit numbers in white, but other units have 5 digits in black: 1 hour ago, chromium said: I'm asking 3 digit cause AFAIK it wasn't possibile to set more than 3 in mission editor. Am I wrong? Could have sworn you can enter more than 3 numbers. I was playing around the other day, plugging in 5 digits. It wasn't doing anything, because as you said the skins don't have those numbers yet, but it wasn't stopping me from entering them. 476th Discord | 476th Website | Swift Youtube Ryzen 5800x, RTX 4070ti, 64GB, Quest 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradmick Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 (edited) All us Army apaches are in the format I noted, some units will emphasize the last 3. You should see the full 5 is there if you’re close enough. Edited April 15, 2022 by bradmick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floydii Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 (edited) +1 for various placement options. If the skin being used is a US Army standard drab skin, then yeah it's probably only going to be a low vis tail number, but the ability for high vis ID numbers on the sides of the forward avionics bays would be great for MP particularly.
