acknowledged Aircraft markings after latest uppdate.

When I rearm, I delete "Board Number" so nothing is in that field and that works.

A temporary fix is to add this to the end of each livery's discription.lua file.

custom_args =
{
[27] = 1.0,
[1000] = 1.0,
[1001] = 1.0,
[1002] = 1.0,
[1003] = 1.0,
[1004] = 1.0,
[1005] = 1.0,

}

I've only tried this for my custom liveries, so not sure how it will affect the default liveries. Each arg controls a set of numbers. For example arg 27 controls the fintip numbers. viewing the FA-18C in the MDLViewer will tell you which arg controls which  number set.  Hope this helps.

When ED fixes this squawk, it's a simple matter to just delete these lines from each discription.lua file.

 

That worked for me, thanks.

I use the f18c default livery and normally the number is shown on the jet, under the canopy but recently it no longer shows it, wondering why?

[pallfy]

Well anyway, I just edited the default livery and added numbers using gimp.

Yeah, one of the updates broke the numbering system on a lot of the skins.  Even their own skins.  Good move!

Can anyone please explain in SIMPLE terms why this is happening and how to fix it? Thanks.

looks like the Arg:

[1002] = 1, -- Kuwait Squadron  ( Nose & Tail )

not working now ... old code in?!

i put it back in:

--KUWAIT -- NOSE NUMBERS
-- back in 2023-08
    {"F18C_BORT_NUMBER_NOSE_kuw_L_100", 3, "empty", true};
    {"F18C_BORT_NUMBER_NOSE_kuw_L_10", 3, "empty", true};
    {"F18C_BORT_NUMBER_NOSE_kuw_L_01", 3, "empty", true};
    {"F18C_BORT_NUMBER_NOSE_kuw_R_100", 3, "empty", true};
    {"F18C_BORT_NUMBER_NOSE_kuw_R_10", 3, "empty", true};
    {"F18C_BORT_NUMBER_NOSE_kuw_R_01", 3, "empty", true};
--KUWAIT -- VERTICAL STABILIZER NUMBERS
-- back in 2023-08
    {"F18C_BORT_NUMBER_KIL_Kuw_L_100", 3, "empty", true};
    {"F18C_BORT_NUMBER_KIL_Kuw_L_10", 3, "empty", true};
    {"F18C_BORT_NUMBER_KIL_Kuw_L_01", 3, "empty", true};
    {"F18C_BORT_NUMBER_KIL_Kuw_R_100", 3, "empty", true};
    {"F18C_BORT_NUMBER_KIL_Kuw_R_10", 3, "empty", true};
    {"F18C_BORT_NUMBER_KIL_Kuw_R_01", 3, "empty", true};

So... is this bug gonna be fixed anytime soon? You made all the custom skins useless here

[Foka]

I would say it's not a bug, but change in mechanizm how liveries work, so you need to correct your custom liveries. It's really easy as described above.

The question is when default liveries will be fixed to new config.

Indeed.  I have "fixed" a couple of custom liveries and posted fixes for them in comments so others can do the same.  I suppose its the cost of progress.  However, what I find a bit strange is the default liveries are still messed up.  

Hopefully this next OB update contains these fixes.

Bumping this is likely not going to help you.  If you read the thread linked above this was a deliberate change and fixing it requires update to the skins involved.  Some of those are under ED's control likely, so they are responsible for that, but the overall change is not going to be "fixed".

Hello everyone! I have read the various posts. What I don't seem to have read is a response from ED about a fix to be released soon. As others have written, I reiterate that, if the release of the fix were announced, I would not bother to personally fix the problem which, I would like to point out, does not concern other aircraft but only the Hornet and every time an update of any importance is released.

In the meantime, you can try and fix the liveries you are using. It's not a bug. It's a change purposely made by ED, so I don't think you should expect a fix.
