Change Registration # N737PM to VT-ABC

Featured Replies

To All Texture Enthus,

 

Is there an easy way to change the standard N737PM to say VT-LMN on the tail and inside the cockpit?

 

Since PMDG hasn't represented India very well from a textures standpoint, most of our Govt and private commercial airlines having the 737-800 a/c's, and there are so many of us having PMDG, I'm thinking to use the default textures but it doesn't make sense to use a N999XX registration in India.

 

PMDG has spicejet in their textures download. But again the reg is fixed. If it was dynamic, we could have used the same plane and changed the tail registrations to make them look many. All spicejets have the same color-combo just diff registrations. The same logic would hold for Jet Airways too.

 

 

All commercial a/c's are registered VT-YYY all alphabets no digits in the Indian airspace.

 

Do we have some texture creators out there who would like to create the Air India Express textures. There are three on AVSIM and 19 for the default FSX a/c.

We need more India centric for the PMDG a/c. Please an appeal frm all PMDG-India enthus.

 

Thanx,

Sanjay/D

The reason it isn't dynamic is that the sim reg isn't stylized. You can't change the color, or typeface, so it wouldn't look right. If it's that big of a deal, open it up in paint, or Photoshop and fix it. Good call to ask the repainters for help on that. I just wanted to give a likely reason it isn't dynamic.

You would need to repaint the AC texture that holds the registration and update the AC cfg... that is fairly easy... Really not too much trouble if you know a painter....

 

In fact, if you wish... send me the cfg file and the fuse textures that hold the registration and i can fix for you.

OK Jeff. I appreciate your help. I can identify the aircraft.cfg file. But when it comes to the fuse files, which ones would it be ... the tail.dds?

How do I send the files to you? Is it safe to attach them here in this post?

Any .dds file that happens to have a reg element on it. Typically that would be fuse1 fuse3, wing decals, cockpit decal (N_Number texture), sometimes tail. Easiest way is to supply a link to download whole texture I think.
