bluecar40hotmail.com Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 How do you get the aircraft id/ tail number to appear on this plane used as an AI? Bill Lyon's Pietenpol... just shows a grey blob on the tail & wing. Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColR1948 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I'm not familiar with the aircraft you mention but a lot of ai aircraft don't have tail numbers because they are often used multiple times and if you write an ai flight plan you can select whatever tail number you choose. It might spoil the effect if you chose a number and the plane was showing a different one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluecar40hotmail.com Posted March 25, 2015 Author Share Posted March 25, 2015 Thanks... I understand how to do that with the flight plan & how to put it in atc_id= in the cfg file. There are a number of planes that, used as AI, don't want to show either... If you get in the plane yourself you can get it to work and curiously, the number you use also appears on the AI plane, but just sitting back and watching it ends up with nulls & a blank grey area. I suspect it's something in the .mdl file but who knows??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StringBean Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Bill used gauges on several of his planes to display your reg on the fuselage. The problem with using those planes as AI is they do not use any gauges so there is no way to force them to display the reg except to fly the same model as a user plane. When you fly the plane the gauge gets loaded into memory with your reg # so that is what gets displayed on the AI. This is all coded into the model and there is no way to change it. peace, the Bean WWOD---What Would Opa Do? Farewell, my freind (sp) Never argue with idiots.

bluecar40hotmail.com Posted March 26, 2015 Author Share Posted March 26, 2015 Thought it was something like that... I had noticed that I got the Pietenpol id to display flying the same plane... I also had his Stinson R. in the same scenery & it, in this case would show part of a clock in place of the id... fly the Stinson R. & it was alright but the clock showed up on the Pietenpol. Thanks for the info... PS I have a lot of Opa's stuff... he was great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
