Please don't shout. Writing in capital letters only is shouting.

 

We need to know which aircraft it is before we can help you.

...and more importantly, which game??? 1st Gen (sf/sfg/wov/woe/woi) or NextGens -SF2 series

Sorry about the yelling. I don't much on the forums and I am not well versed in proper etiquette.

 

WOE 1st gen patched to 2008

 

these are just a few.

meteor Mk8

 

A-26

Spanish F-18

Iranian f-4

 

I am fairly certain It has happened with every plane that uses decals.

 

thanks for your help

EVERY aircraft uses decals ... so check all the stock ones; bet that they're working.

 

For add-ons,check the decal pathways...I'll bet you'll find they're missing a lot of data

 

some of the really old skins/decals use something like this, taken from a decals ini NOT updated to post 06 patch levels (that's when it changed), our example is from the F9J Cougar

 

[Decal003]

MeshName=Fuselage

DecalLevel=0

DecalFacing=RIGHT

FilenameFormat=vf43\D\vf43 <--note short pathway

Position=-2.9,0.32

Rotation=0.85

Scale=1.0

DecalMaxLOD=3

 

after the 06 patch, and MOST DEFINATELY NEEDED for 08/SF2 is the full pathway:

 

[Decal003]

MeshName=Fuselage

DecalLevel=0

DecalFacing=RIGHT

FilenameFormat=F9J\vf43\D\vf43 <--note full pathway

Position=-2.9,0.32

Rotation=0.85

Scale=1.0

DecalMaxLOD=3

 

so, how it breaks down is:

 

aircraft folder name/skin folder name/decals folder/decal name

 

be advised, LOTS of aircraft do NOT have the /D folder, so you'll have to create one, and move all the decal tgas into it.

For sf2's, be careful with it being case sensivite -if it's the folder and/or decal is in caps, lower case or MiXeD, you MUST match it.

 

happy editing!!
