F-8E(FN) My aircraft won't display number

[arthur666 65]

Added the plane to my 1968 campaign, but when I fly, the aircraft number doesn't show up on the skin. However, squadron mates do have numbers. Not a big deal, but that skin looks really plain without an aircraft number. In my campaign_data.ini:

 

[AirUnit064]
AircraftType=F-8E_FN
UnitName=Flotille 12F
ForceID=1
Nation=FrenchNavy
DefaultTexture=FNGrey1
BaseArea=Jever Airbase
BaseMoveChance=40
RandomChance=100
MaxAircraft=24
StartAircraft=24
MaxPilots=24
StartPilots=24
Experience=90
Morale=100
Supply=80
StartNumber=10
MissionChance[sWEEP]=60
MissionChance[CAP]=70
MissionChance[iNTERCEPT]=70
MissionChance[ESCORT]=60
MissionChance[sTRIKE]=0
MissionChance[CAS]=0
MissionChance[sEAD]=0
MissionChance[ARMED_RECON]=0
MissionChance[ANTI_SHIP]=0
MissionChance[RECON]=50
UpgradeType=NEVER

 

If I remove the StartNumber=, or make it 1, or zero, the same thing happens. What am I missing.

 

Also, in my campaign.ini:

 

[FrenchNavyUnit001]
UnitName=Flotille 12F
ForceID=1
UnitID=64
StartDate=08/21/1968
DescFile=woe3Start.txt
StartText=woe3Start2.txt
AircraftType=F-8E_FN

 

EDIT: If I don't go to the loadout screen before a mission, my plane will start with a number on it.

Try this please:

 

in F-8E_FN.ini

..........

DecalNumberRandomize=TRUE

DecalNumberStart=0 <---------------- add this line

DecalNumberEnd=41

.....

 

and let me know

 

[arthur666 65]

That didn't work. Stumped!

That didn't work. Stumped!

 

 

I had the same issue in Keepers of the peace BAF upgrade camp and solved adding those lines in BAF Camo texture.ini

 

Could You send the edited camp to me to make me a try?

never seen this before ?...does that entry for decals go as below.?

goes in the skin's textureset ini, Russo, based on the number of decals (ie: serils, modex, letter codes, etc)

 

[TextureSet]

Name=14 Flottille

Tell me if it's ok now.

 

And then maybe You could add the Clemanceau ....

PS: If You are interested I'ld have some little enhanced 'Crouze' skins for both 12 & 14F ready for Your camp ......

[+paulopanz 2,876]

Here the edits for carrier take off Carrier Base.rar

 

Add only Clem-65!

 

[arthur666 65]

Still doesn't work! A bug?

 

BTW, Thanks! I will add the Clemenceau to my Desert campaign. Putting a carrier in the Baltic sea would be suicide in real-life!

[+paulopanz 2,876]

I added the Ark Royal, too in the baltic ... with a squadron of buccs and one of F-4K.

 

I would like to add an USN carrier.

 

Any suggestion for ship and correct squadrons (F-14!) in 1979?

 

Now all work fine, no bugs for me ....

 

[Wrench 9,848]

well, A-N tail codes are/were Atlantic/Med Fleets ... (M-Z WestPac)

 

try this site?
