Bort Numbers...

[ENO]

Eh guys.

 

Just wondering- when we assign bort numbers for the A-10C (the only one whose numbering I'm somewhat familiar) I end up putting in a 5 digit code. For example, I have a photo of aircraft 90135 from the 75th so I tend to build on that format.

 

However when I'm in mission there really isn't any relation to the numbers I assign. For example, aircraft 90210 (lol) still comes up as something I'm assuming is stock (not 90210).

 

However, when I assign an F-14 to bort number 201... it shows up properly as 201.

 

Am I missing something? Is this just the way it is, or is this actually a bug?

The A-10 EDM only has room for two digit numbers, whereas the F-14, F-15, and F-18 have room for 3. It's just how the EDM is set up.

 

If you look at the skins (and the tails in particular), you'll see the first three digits that exist as part of the skin itself. You have control over the final 2 of 5 digits in the ME.
