Im currently attempting my first repaint, basicly putting pirate flags on a black cessna. only problem is, now that the plane is black, the tail numbers dont show up, is there a way to change the tail numbers so that they come out white? or do i need to just paint them on in paintshop?

Add this line to the (Fltsim.X) section of the aircraft.cfg that is for that repaint. atc_id_color=0xffffffffThat will give you white letters. I think this will give red letters:atc_id_color=0xffff0000Bud

thanks, theat worked, ill try to post screen shots somewhere when i get time

How can I calculate the "color hex numbers"? I've tried in Photoshop, but it uses 6 hex digits.

That part is beyond me :)Bud

Did a little detective work :):color= 0xff808080 Greycolor= 0xffff0000 Red color= 0xff00ff00 Greencolor= 0xff0000ff Bluecolor= 0xff00ffff Cyancolor= 0xffffc800 Orange color= 0xff404040 Dark greycolor= 0xff000000 Blackcolor= 0xFFFFFFFF White Let us know if they work out.Apparently the hex will still work from Photoshop. 0x is just the identifier and ff controls the transparency (ff being 100% and 00 being 0%, invisible and 50 being 50% visible.. etc). This leaves the six characters, ff0000 does indeed equal red in photoshop.. so it looks like it should work :)

You're the boss :D

Put 0xff in front of the 6 digitshttp://webmonkey.wired.com/webmonkey/reference/color_codes/

Is the location of the tail number that this value effects part of the Model?

Yeah I think so.
