ColR1948 Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 (edited) I was recently re-painting an Antonov AN26 CIS, I had no paint kit so cleaned off a paint from one of the other textures. Everything cleaned off but there was a registration number on the wings, but that number was not showing on the file in the textures, the wings were blank. I looked to see if tit was some kind of alpha thing but I wasn't sure what I was doing but the wings still looked blank, so where is that number stored and how do I delete it please? I'm not sure where I got the model now as I've had it in my sim for ages, the textures already on it are Russian so that might be a clue, nothing in the cfg either as that was cleaned up ages ago too. Thinking back I've had this issue before on other aircraft but ended up using a different model so never looked to find the answer lol. Further investigation I spotted something on one of the other texture files (UTT) so more than likely that's where I downloaded it.

dogdish Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 No reg on the wing texture? If there is a texture.cfg in the texture folder it might point to a common texture folder where it's picking up a wing with a reg number painted on. OR Possibly the model reads the reg from the aircraft.cfg and prints it on the wing OR The panel.cfg has a gauge that puts it on the wing like some gauges put it on the instrument panel.

ColR1948 Posted July 15, 2019 Author Share Posted July 15, 2019 OK thanks, well I can rule 2 of those out, no panel or common texture folder, so I'll look more closely in the aircraft.cfg and see if I can find something. Col. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAULCRAIG Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Is it an FSX model? the only way a reg no. can be displayed on the exterior model is with a bitmap, does the texture folder include any specular bmp's or dds files for the wings? if so then the reg no. is more than likely being produced from the spec texture. If this is the case and you want to edit it, make sure you check the alpha channel for any reg marks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColR1948 Posted July 15, 2019 Author Share Posted July 15, 2019 Hi Paul, The wing textures are not in a separate folder, everything is in one folder, body, wings, tail etc. I was using paint.net as the editor and I'll be honest I am not familiar with editing alpha channels. I would like to know why this is happening not just because of this particular instance but for future reference as well, plus it might help someone else. Col.

StringBean Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 It is on the prop texture sheet. peace, the Bean WWOD---What Would Opa Do? Farewell, my freind (sp) Never argue with idiots.

ColR1948 Posted July 15, 2019 Author Share Posted July 15, 2019 You know, once I saw it I remember doing this before but it was years ago, I completely forgot. Well done Bean, you nailed it, I never thought of looking there, any way it got rid of the number and the aircraft looks a lot better now, thank you mate. Col.

ColR1948 Posted July 16, 2019 Author Share Posted July 16, 2019 Here it is with the wings clear of the reg number, thanks again String Bean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
