Tail Number

[F4Lover]

When starting a campaign, after choosing the aircraft and the squadron, in the loadout section you can not choose the tail number, you can only use the default one. When playing a mission you can change the tail number (or the aircraft number on usn missions). Is there a way to do that in campaign ? I hope you understand what i mean.

Thank You.

Well, you can only choose which number your plane will have throughout the campaign by changing the StartNumber in your campaigndata file

 

Example:

 

[AirUnit004]

AircraftType=F-8E

Squadron=VF154

ForceID=1

Nation=USN

DefaultTexture=USNGrey1

StartNumber=0 ---> This means your plane will use the first number from the number.lst from the texture folder

 

If you set the startnumber to '2', then your F-8 would have the number '102' instead of '100'.

AFAIK that's the only way to alter the startnumber in a campaign mission.
