OGREMAN Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 There once was a great flight sim program called "LockOn Modern Air Combat" which evolved into todays DCS. A truely great feature of that sim was that in the online client joining dialog each client was given the means to enter their own tail number to be displayed on their chosen aircraft. This simple facility allowed every pilot to apply a tiny bit of customisation to their 'steed' which all other pilots could see and recognise when looking at other aircraft in the sim. I would dearly love to have not only that facility but I would like it to be extended to allow pilots to have their flying "TAG" appear on the cockpit side of their aircraft. This is so very easy to do that I am truely amazed that customization of aircraft by their pilots is not a more discussed topic. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

But I know you are talking about it changing depending on the pilot in the cockpit. Forum Rules • My YouTube • My Discord - NineLine#0440• **How to Report a Bug**

But I know you are talking about it changing depending on the pilot in the cockpit. Your right .... but consider this, in order to provide a custom skin IDnumber for a buddy who flies say 4 of the FC3 aicraft and all DCS A10c,BlackShark & P51 .... then you would have to provide 7 aircraft in order to give that buddy the option to fly ........ Now multiply that problem by a dozen buddies and you are beginning to see that in its present form DCS world simply cannot cater for this simple function without bogging down your missions in unused aircraft, not to mention a lot of messing with Callsign and bort nonsense.

Fair enough, luckily I dont have alot of friends :) It would be cool if you could have triggers to set things by username...

OGREMAN Posted February 2, 2013 Author Posted February 2, 2013 (edited) Fair enough, luckily I dont have alot of friends :) It would be cool if you could have triggers to set things by username... OK now you are getting there :thumbup:... can I assume now that you both understand what I am requesting and agree that it would be an improvement on the existing format? After all, all that we are talking about here is a user being able to enter 3digits and have his username automaticly applied to the side of the cockpit. The LOMAC sim did a lot more than I am requesting of this...... much more up to date piece of programming. Edited February 2, 2013 by OGREMAN addition to clarify [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
