Those are planes from VF-17, the original Jolly Rogers. I believe that #29 was assigned to Ira Kepford.

Blacksheep is obvious I guess.

Was a Corsair ever painted in green camo while in U.S. service? 

Would like to see some British and French liveries. Weren't there some South American operators as well?

would love to see el salvador FG-1D liveries ingame

 

 

not 1Ds, but it'd be cool if we could also get these

Beauty picture and good idea for the repaint as well:

Yes, we'll have an assortment of liveries from different nations and F4U versions.

I know it's not the correct version of the F4u Corsair, but putting a Korean War livery would be nice for the 1950-1953 scenarios

Dynamic numbers for the slew of default skins we have would be nice.

It can be done, by modifying the description.lua

Just tried it, but it seems it will only work with all-blue skins  

 

 

nice detail with the exhaust flames when dark 

 

Best regards,

Is this modification coming standard in a future update?  Seems silly to me that this feature is only on the dark blue carrier liveries, but not any of the others when it clearly should be.

You have to add in lua lines for each number, not just the argument change for this to work.  Working off the default VBF-10 descrition.lua, you can pull the selected set of numbers(I'll use the fuselage ones) and drop them into the description.lua of the skin you want to change.  By default, all lines will end in true, but we don't want that, otherwise the livery will pull data from the default skin which in this case is the dark blue VBF-10. 

    {"F4U1D_NUM_FUSE_L_VBF10_001",  0, "F4U-1D_Fuse_01", true};
    {"F4U1D_NUM_FUSE_L_VBF10_001",  1, "F4U-1D_Fuse_01_NMp", true};
    {"F4U1D_NUM_FUSE_L_VBF10_001", 13, "F4U-1D_Fuse_01_RoughMet", true};    
    {"F4U1D_NUM_FUSE_L_VBF10_001",  3, "F4U-1D_Numbers_US_v00", true};

If you leave it true, you end up with this.

nullIf you change the lines to read false for all but the numbers, the description.lua will pull data from the files it is directly foldered with which is what we want.

    {"F4U1D_NUM_FUSE_L_VBF10_001",  0, "F4U-1D_Fuse_01", false};
    {"F4U1D_NUM_FUSE_L_VBF10_001",  1, "F4U-1D_Fuse_01_NMp", false};
    {"F4U1D_NUM_FUSE_L_VBF10_001", 13, "F4U-1D_Fuse_01_RoughMet", false};    
    {"F4U1D_NUM_FUSE_L_VBF10_001",  3, "F4U-1D_Numbers_US_v00", true};

This is the result.

Edit:  To make this even simpler, the description.lua from the VF-17 1943 Bouganville livery is exactly what you need for all the Tricolor liveries.  The arguments block should look like this for the fonts and colors.

    [1000] = 0.00, -- Cowl
    [1001] = 0.20, -- Fuse_01
    [1002] = 0.00, -- Tail Fin
    [1003] = 0.00, -- Rudder
    [1004] = 0.05, -- Fairings (Doors)

And all that is required after that is to include the lua lines for the door and fuselage numbers.

    {"F4U1D_NUM_FUSE_L_VF17_001",  0, "F4U-1D_Fuse_01", false};
    {"F4U1D_NUM_FUSE_L_VF17_001",  1, "F4U-1D_Fuse_01_NMp", false};
    {"F4U1D_NUM_FUSE_L_VF17_001", 13, "F4U-1D_Fuse_01_RoughMet", false};

This gives you this result.

thanks a lot for the detailed information, will try it tonight  

[Nealius]

Are the "USMC" numbers the ones we need for all the two-tone liveries? I added those and got them to work except for the gear door numbers have a black/dark background to them, which I assume means it's pulling them from some other livery. I also noticed that when doing these modifications, the liveries get duplicated in the mission editor/planner list. I used args 0.15 for fuselage and doors, from the VMF-312 lua.

Adding the above code to the tri-color liveries only works for v5. All the other versions (v1~v4) have a missing texture thing behind the numbers.

Only on the fuselage numbers though.  The v5 includes a normal (NMp) file the others do not.  Simply change the NMp lines for the fuselage numbers to end in true instead of false and they work properly.

As for the other fuselage numbers, play around with them until you find the desired look.  The gear door issue I can answer, you don't want the white numbers from the VMF-312 skin, you want the same black numbers at 0.05 as seen on the two-tone VMF-222 skin which should have the code setup so you can just copy paste.

[Nealius]

Speaking of VMF-222 shouldn't that one have fuselage numbers too?
