Editing Nations

[AJAY67]

Hi community,

 

I'm getting well into making all of my install what I want them to be, but need a little advise about nations. Example; I've added my Syrian repaints for MiGs, but their markings default to Soviet unless I modify them prior to flight. Is there an .ini mod around for this, so, say that all MiG-17's would be Syrian?

 

Thanks

 

Andy.

You can change the nation the aircraft belong to in a skin's texture INI, or you can make a nation specific aircraft.

JA37;

 

not sure if I explained clearly what I am trying to do, so I'll go a little deeper. I have a number of setups of the sims, to attempt to cover a number of different wars, and times they took place. Example; I have the updated Desert Terrain in SFP1, and I want that to concenrate around the Arab/Israeli conflict of the 1960's. As a result, I do not want to have default Soviet or othrer markings avaialable on the MiGs, only middle eastern ones.

 

Which has actually lead me on to another question.....lol. I have also installed DBS, and I would like to confine the "era' of that campaign from about 1968 until about 1978, but I find with some of my aircraft, service times run into the 1980's. I believe that this is just a data.ini modification in each aircraft, yes?

 

Thanks for all your help.

For the nations just change the nation in the individual aircraft's data.ini to Syria. If they are stock aircraft you'll need to extract the data.ini files so you can edit them.

 

On you second question you're right, but then you wouldn't be able to fly those planes in single missions after the end date you put into the data.ini
