B 744 registration plaques on panel

[Guest QF744]

Hi There, I was just wondering if there was a way to add the registration plaque (with reg and SELCAL) to the 2D panel and virtual cockpit,so that when you are in the cockpit(either virtual or 2D) it would show the reg of the repaint you are flying in on the plaque.It would add that extra bit of realism. Anybody know how? Would PMDG do this via a small download in the download section. Thanks Simon.

Hi Simon,The panel textures are not part of the paintkit. Being part of the gauges I wonder if these files can be altered ?? Ton

They can!Check the picture attached. I did it for the VC and the whole Stevens fleet (www.stevens-va.de).You need to open the bmp file from the aircraft texture folder, change it to 32bit with imagetool, insert the registration where you want to have it, save it, change it to DXT3 with imagetool again, copy it into your aircraft texture folder - done!Hope you got it,Stefan
