Hi again!

I was wondering if you perhaps are going to look a bit more on the Finnish early war markings (the blue swastika)? I think it would be great if these markings could receive the same magic treatment as the others

/Magnus

:? it's same as others in treatment, do you mean further weathered?
I did weathered effect on all Finish large numbers and roundel, resize small number in better pix size, without weathered effect, because all black and small.
in IL2, the skin max size is only 1024x1024, so tga size over 128 or 140 is not very remarkable for final result, too clear comparing that blured skin.

Hmmm, strange....

My Finnish swastikas doesn't look weathered at all and no 'transparency' regardless of version I'm using. I've tried v1, v1.1, v1.11 and now v1.12. Could it be another mod conflicting? I've never used any Mat-addons at all so that can't be it.

/Magnus

did you clean your cache folder or set clearcache=1 in your conf.ini?

Yes, I've set clearcache=1 and I've checked so that the Cache-folder IL-2\PaintSchemes\Cache is empty.

And the file 'Faroundel.tga' is in the MODS\...\PaintSchemes\decals\Finnish and it looks nice and weatherd. But it doesn't show up in the game, just the un-weatherd original one...

But everything else works fine, all decals look really nice and they blend-in perfectly in the game-evironment. You have done a great job on this mod :-)

Sorry never mind this. The problem is in my installation. I tried the decal mod on another modded Il2 and the finnish markings showed up correct there. To bad really, I have 72 folders in my mods-folder now (not using ui), wonder wich one it is that conflicts... wich me luck :-) /Magnus

check if there are some mod change plane model, I got decal disappear on FW190A4 before, finally found it's caused by a Prop mod with changed 3d msh.

Now I have disabled everything, all mods inkl new planes, except for the decalshine. And all decals and markings show up correctly except Finnish blue swastika and the Romainan decal (I just discovered this too)... man, this is turning into a mystery :-)

Before I start over again buildning a new Modded IL2, does anyone have any clues as to what is causing this? As I said, I have disabled all my mods with a "-" sign so no mod can possibly be interfering now. One question though, does the decalshine mod require the UI1.1? Because I don't use it (yet...)

Hey, I solved it! :-)

After much testing to and fro i finally removed the line "HakenAllowed=1" from the [GAME] section of the conf.ini. Then all of a sudden the Finnish swastika and the Romainan yellow cross is weatherd like all the other decals. How about that??? :-)

I've been tweaking this mod by making my own TGAs, and I have a question: how does one change the color of the RAF numbers and letters? The targas are only in greyscale (I've noticed this with some of the other TGAs too).

yes, it's greyscale and used by others too. the color is changed by initial Java class(I guess), same as VVS number, LW letters.
I don't know Java, if someone can figure out how to change it, maybe we can make a full set of letters and numbers as LW numbers, that will look much better than greyscale.

Downloaded and ready to install, thank you for fixing the host McWolf

D@mn, I had a feeling it was something complicated and not easy to fix. Thanks for the info though!
