Wish we had a way to select side number for skins as a user inputā¦that would be way niceā¦
I think what youāre referring to is commonly called ālicense platesā, like an alpha channel thatās put on the relevant section of a jet (stab, front fuselage, wings) with multiple MODEX numbers on a texture which are assigned to that area according to user selection. So for a VF-/VFA- squad you might have sth like MODEX 100, 101, 103, 105 or for secondary squads 201, 203, 207 etc
Iām not sure whether thatās implemented or possible but there was a thread about that topic some time ago.
The alternative of having entire sets of different skins for different MODEX numbers is what I used for this pic:
As you see the foreground jet is 100 and background 110, 100 was in skin slot 1 and 110 in slot 2. Given that we have two slots per jet that solution is not optimal.

Awesome work dude, but I would have preferred this skin on the F/A-18F Super Hornet

Iām just using that to showcase the MODEX/License Plate issue. Iām sure Bura has some more stuff in the works

I meant the VFA-103 skin on the F/A-18F, haha sorry ^^
But I like your MODEX job on the Tomcat too !

Hahaā¦yeah, missed that. I only just now noticed that itās acutally the D and not the H. Was the D actually used by the NAVY or did they only start using the F once the Tomcat was retired?
-
It seems to me that the F happened after the withdrawal of Tomcat
-
The legacy D model use (but certainly not limited to) was mostly as a trainer (RAG/FRS squadrons) by the USN, and (still is) used tactically by the USMC. The former VF (Tomcat) squadrons have transitioned to both the āEā and āFā model Super Hornets.

Nikos, I think he already released that skin the thread āJolly Rogersā VFA-103 Skins (BMS 4.33 F-18 D Hornet US Navy Skin)".
I know that mate, it was just an example for the camo of the external fuel tank and only ;).
Thanks friends. Have a nice flight.

Oh NO, no dear friend. You didnāt made a mistake!
Just make IF you want also the dds with the external fuel tank as in my last example, means this
And i say again: IF you want. I will be super happy to have also this specific external fuel tankā¦
Thanks again for your hard efforts.

Lovely skins, but why are you not using the decal sheet for Aircraft numbers?

ā¦yes, thatās itā¦only Iāve never heard them referred to as ālicense platesā at a USN Maintenance desk - only āmodexā or āside numberā. But thatās itā¦more language barriersā¦love the Pukinā Dogs - nice work!
In actuality each hundred series modex aboard ship belongs to a specific tasking within the wing - so Iāve been told. There can be multiple A/C 100s just not from the same squadron; so VFA-13 100 and VFA-111 100 is ligit within the group.
ā¦and Iāve been in situations where all the side numbers have been changed overnightā¦which was a real hassleā¦for me!

I meant commonly called license plates HERE in the texture/3d model world. Of course, theyāre called MODEX/side numbers in real life man.
I retract the āsecondaryā, aware of the tasking specific number scheme.
Pukinā dogs FTW! But only on Tomcat, canāt stomach that look on the bug for some reason.

Sorry, I was too late for this update. :rolleyes:
Link updated on 1st post due some details. (fuel tank detail and registration number error was corrected) .
Sorry for that
Happy nice flights.

I like the Pukinā Supers, myselfā¦but in general I like the grey schemes, and am not really a fan of the bright colored ones in any case. I wouldnāt want to be flying one of those into a fightā¦Iād want to be as āinvisibleā as possible.
