fixed We need a fix for Yak-52's bort numbers

[mikko.1842]

Dear Dev Team, Yak-52's bort numbers are currently bugged.

For instance, in Mission Editor, with "The Yakovlevs" livery (default livery), when I input a tail number, it will never show the actual Yak-52_bort_number_YT.dds (but the default bort number, overlapping Russia's roundel) . 

I am pretty sure that the last updates did modify the way Yak-52's description.lua file was written.

The native description.lua is as follows :

Quote

livery = {

    {"Yak52_Main", 0 ,"Yak52_YT_Main",false};
    {"Yak52_Main", ROUGHNESS_METALLIC ,"Yak52_YT_Main_RoughMet",false};
    {"Yak52_Main", 1 ,"Yak52_Main_noGofr_Normal",true};
    
    {"Yak52_Gear", 0 ,"Yak52_YT_Gear",false};
    {"Yak52_Gear", ROUGHNESS_METALLIC ,"Yak52_Gear_RoughMet",false};
    
    
    
    
    {"Yak52_Main_DECAL", 0 ,"Yak52_YT_Main",false};
    {"Yak52_Main_DECAL", ROUGHNESS_METALLIC ,"Yak52_YT_Main_RoughMet",false};
    {"Yak52_Main_DECAL", DECAL ,"empty",true};
    {"Yak52_Main_DECAL", 1 ,"Yak52_Main_noGofr_Normal",true};
    
    
    
    
    
    {"Yak52_Main_BN_01", 0 ,"Yak52_YT_Main",false};
    {"Yak52_Main_BN_01", ROUGHNESS_METALLIC ,"Yak52_YT_Main_RoughMet",false};
    {"Yak52_Main_BN_01", DECAL ,"empty",true};
    {"Yak52_Main_BN_01", 1 ,"Yak52_Main_noGofr_Normal",true};
    
    {"Yak52_Main_BN_10", 0 ,"Yak52_YT_Main",false};
    {"Yak52_Main_BN_10", ROUGHNESS_METALLIC ,"Yak52_YT_Main_RoughMet",false};
    {"Yak52_Main_BN_10", DECAL ,"empty",true};
    {"Yak52_Main_BN_10", 1 ,"Yak52_Main_noGofr_Normal",true};
    
    {"Yak52_Main_BN_100", 0 ,"Yak52_YT_Main",false};
    {"Yak52_Main_BN_100", ROUGHNESS_METALLIC ,"Yak52_YT_Main_RoughMet",false};
    {"Yak52_Main_BN_100", DECAL ,"empty",true};
    {"Yak52_Main_BN_100", 1 ,"Yak52_Main_noGofr_Normal",true};
    
    {"Yak52_Yakovlevs_BN_01", 0 ,"Yak52_YT_Main",false};
    {"Yak52_Yakovlevs_BN_01", ROUGHNESS_METALLIC ,"Yak52_YT_Main_RoughMet",false};
    {"Yak52_Yakovlevs_BN_01", DECAL ,"Yak-52_bort_number_YT",false};
    
    {"Yak52_Yakovlevs_BN_10", 0 ,"Yak52_YT_Main",false};
    {"Yak52_Yakovlevs_BN_10", ROUGHNESS_METALLIC ,"Yak52_YT_Main_RoughMet",false};
    {"Yak52_Yakovlevs_BN_10", DECAL ,"Yak-52_bort_number_YT",false};
    
    
    
    
    {"Yak52_PROP_0", 0 ,"Yak52_prop_00",true};       
    {"Yak52_PROP_1", 0 ,"Yak52_prop_01",true};      
    {"Yak52_PROP_2", 0 ,"Yak52_prop_02",true};      
    {"Yak52_PROP_3", 0 ,"Yak52_prop_03",true};      
    {"Yak52_PROP_4", 0 ,"Yak52_prop_04",true};      
    {"Yak52_PROP_5", 0 ,"Yak52_prop_05",true};
          
    {"Yak52_3BLADE_PROP_0", 0 ,"Yak52_prop3_00",true};       
    {"Yak52_3BLADE_PROP_1", 0 ,"Yak52_prop3_01",true};       
    {"Yak52_3BLADE_PROP_2", 0 ,"Yak52_prop3_02",true};       
    {"Yak52_3BLADE_PROP_3", 0 ,"Yak52_prop3_03",true};       
    {"Yak52_3BLADE_PROP_4", 0 ,"Yak52_prop3_04",true};       
    {"Yak52_3BLADE_PROP_5", 0 ,"Yak52_prop3_05",true};

    

}
name = "The Yakovlevs"
name_ru = "ОКБ Яковлева"
countries = {"RUS"}

custom_args = 
{
 
 [70] = 0.0, -- Default Bort Number
 
 }

The "BN part" is obviously outdated and wrong.

Could you tell us how bort numbers should be coded in 2024 ? It would be so nice, especially for aerobatics squadrons.

Last point, custom_args are outdated and wrong too. Currently, argument [70] does not exist anymore.

This is how current custom_args work now :

Quote

custom_args = 
{

[27] = 0, ---Bort Number type, 0 = RF-xxxxx , 0.1 = small high xx , 0.2 = big mid xx , 1 = no bort---
---[32] = 0.0, ---Bort Number 0000x---
---[31] = 0.0, ---Bort Number 000x0---
---[442] = 0.0, --- Bort Number 00x00---
---[472] = 0.0, --- rear pilot, 0 = rear pilot , 0.5 = rear harness , 1 = empty---

 }

This also implies that every Yak-52's skin available in your website ( "Downloads/User files" ) has bugged bort numbers.

Reminder : this is how "The Yakovlevs" default livery should look like (you can compare the bort number with my last screenshot) :

 

I do understand that Yak-52 is in a near-death-experience-state, so I know it will be on your low priority list. Thank you for your time all the same.

Best regards.

Checked with default settings, no mods, no custom liveries

Let us hope ED can still revive it.
