Nieuport 17 Gbr - UK Tac Codes Only

[czech693]

The Nieuport 17 Gbr has three blank skins; blank_02 and blank_03 are French.

 

The nieuport17.gbr.txt only has this:

 

// Tactical Code properties

TacticalCodeTexture=-1,"graphics\textures\Common\TacticalCodes_WW1UK.dds","&"
TacticalCharsNum=2
TacticalCharArg0=71
TacticalCharArg1=72
TacticalChars=0,-1,"0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ","0123"
TacticalChars=1,-1,"!""#$%&'()*+,:;<=>?@^_","0123"

 

...and the info.txt has UK tactical codes (302) for all three blank skins:

 

&paintSchemes=

2,    Nieuport17GBR/Nieuport17GBR_blank_02.dds,    302|
3,    Nieuport17GBR/Nieuport17GBR_blank_03.dds,    302|

5,    Nieuport17GBR/Nieuport17GBR_skin_02.dds,    302,    1|

7,    Nieuport17GBR/Nieuport17GBR_skin_04.dds,    302,    1|
8,    Nieuport17GBR/Nieuport17GBR_skin_05.dds,    302,    1|

 

So, you always get the UK tactical code palette and layout.  I altered both files to add in the French code system, and get the French number codes in the setup but the UK codes and format still appear on the airplane.

I wanted to bump this up.  This effects the French skins for the N.17Gbr.  You can onlly get the British tactical codes on the N.17Gbr skins, although two of the Official skins are French.  It also effects the N.17Gbr in the French squadrons in Career.  The airplane inventory includes the N.17Gbr, and when you get that aircraft assigned it has British tactical codes and not French.  I tried monkeying with it but could not get it to use French codes.  I think it's coded into the model panels, or something like that.

Thanks, I'll ask about it.

Yes, when this plane was originally set up in the code, it was decided to give it only British codes.

Bummer, since they made the model available for French.
