Pilots name on new skins?
-
I have searched the forums but really did not find much on putting Pilots name’s on the planes. Is it possible to add their names on the Tail DDS file so the name would follow the tail number? That way you can have your name and your friends name on their own tail. Just a thought as I have my own Squadron names and rank I would love to put their names on some of the planes. I have made tails for my old F-16 units the 474th TFW and the 401 TFW and has been a lot of fun.
Thanks as always for all that this great group of amazing people do every day here!

You could put it on the tail, but putting it on the nose would require the model having a surface included with License Plates.
Find the tails you want to change, modify them with photoshop or equivalent.

There is an alpha channel (for the F-16 skins) under the antenna nose, where usually a repeat of the serials are painted (734 below)
Pilot names can go there if you want. It’s not on the canopy though, that is not possible ATM
What is possible though is to put the squadron name on a specific DDS skinset since all skinset have all the fuselage parts now.
In the example above the Juvat is printed in yellow on the canopy but appears so on all 4 jets of the skinset
