Ranwers, you have no idea how glad I am to see that Big Grin

Changing the US National Insignia - -)-MAILMAN- - 18.06.2008

This can be done right in the Mods Folder.

F:\Ubisoft\IL-2 Sturmovik 1946\MODS\National Markings\paintschemes\decals\States

The file is named whitestar1.tga

If I remember correctly you can go to SimmersPaintShop and download files that have all kinds of national insignias. Pick out the dark blue circle with white star without the bars. Use Photoshop or equivalent to get it to the correct size 64 x 64 pixels and save it as a .tga file and name it whitestar1.tga. Then the correct color blue and size of the star appear on the Corsair MkI when using this bird as the F4U-1 for USN or USMC, the P-400, P-39N etc.

This is what I did and I no longer have that US National Insignia that resembles a Russian lend lease aircraft where upon arrival in Russia the VVS simply painted the white star red and enlarged it to where the points of the star extended beyond the blue circle. In the game Oleg made a red star version of this insignia for Russia and made a white copy of this version of the insignia for USN, USMC & USAAF. This only occurs when you take a US plane that Oleg slotted as a non us country aircraft and you select USN, USMC or USAAF.

Otherwise you can download and install IL2 Mat Manager and it will correct the markings and enhance other stuff too.

These ones only display the same dodgy roundel in all six positions, when there aught to be three distinct types. If you can figure out how to cure that, it'd be fantastic. :wink:

Hurri MkI ?

No problem

Mk IID - to.

Ranwers, would you care to release this? The existing Hurri Mk1 roundels are just too awful. Cry

Ok, I forgot that :oops:

New mat mod ver 2.3.. http://allaircraftsimulations.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1866

Or of course the great mat manager!!

with all due respect but i would really like default markings changed/improved .... i like my cache folder empty .

I've managed to change/improve tga's myself but it needs Ranwers magic to implement them on certain planes

cheers

You know that Mat Manager is now at V2.36 and you can apply the clear cache button so it empties before each load. Also the markings are excellant! Big Grin

Not that yours arn't Ranwers :oops:

One question

Is there anyway to use the larger numbers like the ones used for the corsair on the P47 fuselage? If it's possible then conceivably we could at least use those in lieu of the silly small numbers on the rudder. Optimally, we should use any markings we wanted but that's a different project.

- Mane - 13.09.2008

Rawners, some planes like the Hurricanes, Spits, Tempest and the La-5/7 series among others has wrong letters/numbers placement. The worst is the La-5/F/FN/7. The stars are too small and in wrong place and the numbers are even worst - they should be behind the stars. Could you please take a look on these? Thanks!!! :lol:

- Bee - 13.09.2008

Thankyou!!!!!! So much better now Big Grin

I resized Il-2 Mat Manager's britishroundel2c.tga to stop it getting cropped by the ailerons (always hated that). You can put it in your IL-2 Sturmovik 1946\PaintSchemes\Regiments folder. Looks good on the other aircraft too!

And Ranwers, if you can figure out how to make the underwing roundels appear as the proper type also, I'll be mightily impressed. :wink:

I think thats is only posiible that: paint yellow roundel on fuse on default skin in correct position and use insignia (for fuse/bottom wing) without yellow strip.
To much work for my at this moment, maybe someone.... :roll:

No problem, what you have done here is brilliant anyway. Thanks mate. :wink:

Thx Ranwers, that's great Big Grin

Is there a way to have also correct roundels for the Spit mkI which carries late war roundels instead of early roundels (inherited from the Spit mkV, I suppose ?)
