"Flyable" dhimari and parani markings

Recommended Posts

I tried to make flyable dhimari and parani airplanes in SFG Oct 08. I extracted the nations.ini, and noticed there are no entries available for Dhimar and Paran, so I tried to make them myself. In the loadout screen, I can select dhimari and parani markings, but once I start the mission there are no roundels on the airplane (only squadron numbers).

I tried looking for user-made skins, but all of them use custom made decals.

Searching on the forum, I found this thread. I tried downloading the updated nations.ini, but when I start the mission I get danish markings when I select Dhimar, and lithuanian markings when I select Paran. I made sure I selected the right nation, but I kept getting danish and lithuanians roundels (yes, I extracted the decals included in the pack in the objects\aircraft folder).

Then I tried copying-and-pasting the Dhimar and Paran entries in my previous nations.ini, and the decals disappeared again.

 

I'm using SFG Oct 08 with only stock aircrafts.

 

What can I do? Thanks for your help :smile:

the Dhimari and Paran roundels have to have the same number as the nations.ini entry!

 

For example

...
[Nation123]
Name=Dhimar
...

needs insignia123.tga

Thank you for the answer. :good:

I tried renaming the roundels' filename, but it didn't work. I had to create 50 "fake" nations in the nations.ini in order to give Dhimar and Paran the number 256 and 257 respectively.
