DEVIL11 Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 I had this for a while and was wondering about some skins. For example when I fly 3 or 4 skins show up with the squadron tail. I put everything in the decals especially the F-14_74.i was wondering if there is any way I can make the squadron tails come out like the rest. Thanks for your comments. Quote
Caesar Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 I'm not sure I follow; as in you have three or four decals on the tail, regardless of what squadron you pick? Or is it that you have multiple selections for the same squadron? If it's the latter, that's because different paint schemes for different years were included. If its the former, I've never seen it happen, but can check for a culprit later. Quote
DEVIL11 Posted February 2, 2015 Author Posted February 2, 2015 I'm trying to say is that I had selected a pain scheme from the skin selection from the F-14_74 say for example I had choose the VF-143 pukindogs paint scheme then I had used the mouse to move around the plane and there was no pukindog on the tail like the squadron logo this has happen to some paint schemes then I had quiet the game to go look at the squadron and when u click the bf-143 skin that has the bmps it has the nose the wing tail and soo on then I had saw the tail did not have the squadron the only color was the strips to the nose nothing else. I had looked at the other squadrons from the skins and some did not have logos and some did. Quote
logan4 Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Check for the decal.ini in the skin's folder. the squadron logo is applied with a decal (tail and rudder). Check your Decal folders if the same address can be found that is listed in the decal.ini. My decal ini calls for this 2 for that squadron. FilenameFormat=F-14A\VF143\TAIL_LA FilenameFormat=F-14A\VF143\TAIL_RA Quote
DEVIL11 Posted February 3, 2015 Author Posted February 3, 2015 Alright thanks I will try it out and get back on here. Quote
DEVIL11 Posted February 3, 2015 Author Posted February 3, 2015 Soo I checked the decal inis are F14-001 which would be the nose F-14a-002 would be the body F-14a-03-04 would be the tail but they do not have anything that says tail left or right Quote
Caesar Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 That is strange as hell. In your VF-143 decals.ini, do your entries for 005-008 look like this? [Decal005] MeshName=Left_VertTail DecalLevel=0 DecalFacing=LEFT FilenameFormat=F-14A\VF143\TAIL_LA Position=-7.07,1.58 Rotation=0.0 Scale=3.77 DecalMaxLOD=4 [Decal006] MeshName=Right_VertTail DecalLevel=0 DecalFacing=RIGHT FilenameFormat=F-14A\VF143\TAIL_RA Position=-7.07,1.58 Rotation=0.0 Scale=3.77 DecalMaxLOD=4 [Decal007] MeshName=Left_Rudder DecalLevel=0 DecalFacing=LEFT FilenameFormat=F-14A\VF143\TAIL_LA Position=-7.07,1.58 Rotation=0.0 Scale=3.77 DecalMaxLOD=4 [Decal008] MeshName=Right_Rudder DecalLevel=0 DecalFacing=RIGHT FilenameFormat=F-14A\VF143\TAIL_RA Position=-7.07,1.58 Rotation=0.0 Scale=3.77 DecalMaxLOD=4 Those are the "Pukin' Dog" for the tails. LA is Left, RA is Right. Quote
DEVIL11 Posted February 3, 2015 Author Posted February 3, 2015 (edited) I still got nothing just the blue strips on the nose.yea they do look the same as what you gave me. Edited February 3, 2015 by DEVIL11 Quote
Caesar Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Just checked my own VF-143 bird. No issues here. Might try a re-install? Or, if not the entire plane, just re-add the decal folder from the install? I think I'm using v121; had to do a fresh install when I swapped out hard drives. The VF-143 decal folder should have the following decals: Intake_L.TGA Intake_R.TGA Tail_LA.TGA Tail_LIKE.TGA Tail_RA.TGA Tail_RIKE.TGA Your decals.ini should read: [Decal001] MeshName=Nose DecalLevel=2 DecalFacing=RIGHT FilenameFormat=USNFighterNum Position=7.8,0.18 Rotation=0.0 Scale=0.8 DecalMaxLOD=4 [Decal002] MeshName=Nose DecalLevel=2 DecalFacing=LEFT FilenameFormat=USNFighterNum Position=7.8,0.18 Rotation=0.0 Scale=0.8 DecalMaxLOD=4 [Decal003] MeshName=LeftFlap DecalLevel=2 DecalFacing=TOP FilenameFormat=USNFighterNum Position=-2.441,-4.3 Rotation=55.0 Scale=1.0 DecalMaxLOD=3 [Decal004] MeshName=RightFlap DecalLevel=2 DecalFacing=TOP FilenameFormat=USNFighterNum Position=2.441,-4.3 Rotation=-55.0 Scale=1.0 DecalMaxLOD=3 [Decal005] MeshName=Left_VertTail DecalLevel=0 DecalFacing=LEFT FilenameFormat=F-14A\VF143\TAIL_LA Position=-7.07,1.58 Rotation=0.0 Scale=3.77 DecalMaxLOD=4 [Decal006] MeshName=Right_VertTail DecalLevel=0 DecalFacing=RIGHT FilenameFormat=F-14A\VF143\TAIL_RA Position=-7.07,1.58 Rotation=0.0 Scale=3.77 DecalMaxLOD=4 [Decal007] MeshName=Left_Rudder DecalLevel=0 DecalFacing=LEFT FilenameFormat=F-14A\VF143\TAIL_LA Position=-7.07,1.58 Rotation=0.0 Scale=3.77 DecalMaxLOD=4 [Decal008] MeshName=Right_Rudder DecalLevel=0 DecalFacing=RIGHT FilenameFormat=F-14A\VF143\TAIL_RA Position=-7.07,1.58 Rotation=0.0 Scale=3.77 DecalMaxLOD=4 [Decal009] MeshName=LeftWing DecalLevel=0 DecalFacing=TOP FilenameFormat=Insignia Position=-4.05,-4.58 Rotation= 67.0 Scale=1.15 DecalMaxLOD=4 [Decal010] MeshName=RightWing DecalLevel=0 DecalFacing=BOTTOM FilenameFormat=Insignia Position= 4.05,-4.58 Rotation= 67.0 Scale=1.15 DecalMaxLOD=4 [Decal011] MeshName=Left_VertTail DecalLevel=2 DecalFacing=LEFT FilenameFormat=USNNUMW Position=-8.39,2.60 Rotation=0.0 Scale=0.40 DecalMaxLOD=4 [Decal012] MeshName=Right_VertTail DecalLevel=2 DecalFacing=RIGHT FilenameFormat=USNNUMW Position=-8.48,2.60 Rotation=0.0 Scale=0.40 DecalMaxLOD=4 [Decal013] MeshName=Nose DecalLevel=0 DecalFacing=RIGHT FilenameFormat=Insignia Position=5.3,-0.155 Rotation=0.0 Scale=1.2 DecalMaxLOD=4 [Decal014] MeshName=Nose DecalLevel=0 DecalFacing=LEFT FilenameFormat=Insignia Position=5.3,-0.155 Rotation=0.0 Scale=1.2 DecalMaxLOD=4 If you've got all this, I'm not sure what's happening, but you may want to re-install the decal folder for VF-143.

Caesar Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Decal data between the two is identical. Here's what changed from 120 to 121: 1. Changed Throttle Response Times for F-110 and TF-30 engines to better reflect RL engine response times (listed and observed). 2. Changed TCS overlay to better match real TCS, adjusted TCS camera position 3. Changed vapors to appear wings -> intakes -> turtlebacks, from wings -> turtlebacks -> intakes 4. Seeker symbol scaled back to match gun pipper (both are the same in the F-14A/B) 5. New Phoenix Missile by Ravenclaw_007 6. A/C Gross Weights changed to match manual numbers 7. HUD Steering Tee is now only available for radar guided missiles in the F-14A and B; Sidewinder modes and Gun modes did not show the HUD Steering Tee; however, the Sparrow and Phoenix PDSTT/TWS-A/M modes did. 8. Removed TCS cycle function from F-14A_IR (I don't believe it was functional, but one of the screens was the TCS filter.) 9. Added Flat Spin entering arguments and recovery procedures to manual Quote
DEVIL11 Posted February 3, 2015 Author Posted February 3, 2015 By any chance does ur bmps of the tail have the squadron logo on them? Cuz on mine it doesn't show Quote
Caesar Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 No, tails are blank on mine. The dogs, tail code and carrier are all decals. Quote
DEVIL11 Posted February 3, 2015 Author Posted February 3, 2015 Thanks for ur help I should try getting the v121 Quote
Caesar Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 If that doesn't work, PM me, and I'll shoot you what I've got. If it works for me, it should work for you. Quote
