Tail Art for AI Flight Members
-
Where do I find the skins/ .dds files that get used by the AI members of a flight. Nos. 2 and 4 of my flight have different tail art (36FS and 51 FW) that I want to change.

No. 2
No.3

@Crassus Hello, if you tell me what other serials you need I can provide for them, donβt know if you have some real pictures to take references

@dema, thank you!
F-16.net: a great resource for me in researching the real Viper units in Korea.
https://www.f-16.net/aircraft-database/F-16/aircraft-assignments-active/unit/USAF 36 FS/If you would, please do up SERNOS:
88-0494
88-0531
88-0540
88-0547Iβm also looking to get the ones with β36FSβ and β51 FWβ replaced with βOSβ.
Does BMS only use/ display in 3D a limited number of serial numbers, because Iβd like to try and get all of the SERNOS in-sim. (Iβm OCD like that. ) Eventually Iβd want to do the other squadrons in Korea myself.
If you do up the four above, and tell me the typeface you use, and how I go about converting an image to the .dds format, I can edit the rest of the SERNOS on that list myself.

Each block in database has a set number, it can be edited in parent.dat then set to each lod model the relative DDS numbers in the right order for the new sets. Not a difficult work just not so nice.
I reached 19 different squadrons sets for a 104 3d model. The issue appears when you fly in MP cause all files you edit need to be the same with your pilot friends, database is a must for MP.To have a DDS file edited you need a PSD as source, converting with the right plugin by Nvidia DDS.
I am preparing the whole pack for all PSD.In next hours you will have the serials you need
Cheers

@dema Thank you!
Couple questions:
- What typeface are you using for the SERNOS?
- Where do I find parent.dat? Iβm searching all of the 4.36 sub-folders and itβs not coming up.
-
USAF font is known as Amarillo font
To have the parent.dat you need to extract the db with the right tool using the prompt or windows shell

now itβs also in falcon docs folder well explained

Thanks, esp. for the type face name.
For anyone else who may be interested, I found the font Amarillo USAF at dafont.com. Also, I was able to load it into Photopea. . . .
