[NO BUG] Wrong external wingtank texture

[RavenFrost]

It seems like the groundcrew mounted the wrong external tank under the right wing.

A minor issue.

Reselect the tank and then the texture should change.

That was my first guess, but the texture is still the same.

Hello, I am the creator of the livery, the tank is intentionally mismatched as an easter egg to match one of the reference photos (see attached image) I used in the creation of this livery, it was decided to keep it that way but I understand if you want the "normal" tank, and if so lmk and I will send you a "fixed" description.lua

Thank you for your reply. Well, if thats the Case, it should stay as it is.

I should note that this is the only photo that showed the aircraft in such a configuration, regardless I decided it would be fun to include but I can absolutely understand why someone would want a more standard configuration. if so please let me know and I will share a description.lua to make both tanks gray

An understandable bug submission, but the “mismatched” wing tank is the correct color & the developer need not change anything.

 

Background- in the 1970s, the F-4E Phantom II wing tank contractor built drop tanks in green/white colors for their primary customer- the U.S. Air Force, who were fighting in Southeast Asia.

Consequently, every export user who purchased the F-4E in the 70s were supplied wing tanks from that company in the same Southeast Asia green/white - even if the aircraft itself used a totally different color scheme. 

Early Israeli Kurnass, Luftwaffe, Iranian , and Egyptian F-4Es (among others) flew with green/white external tanks. As time went on many export users would repaint the tanks to match.
