Is it possible to change the colour of the tailnumber i...

Hi!Does anybody know if it is possible to change the color of the tailnumber in FSX? They are black by default but I would like to change it to white instead. I think it would look better on the default Cessna. Anyone? :-)/Magnus

Anyone? :-)>>/MagnusAdd an atc_id_color= entry to your aircraft.cfg file.From the SDK:atc_id_color Specifies, in RGB hexadecimal, the color of the tail number. The first two characters following the 0x specify the red value in hex, the second two characters the green, and the third set the blue. The final two characters are unused. Each value can be between 0 to ff hex, which is 0 to 255 decimal. Note that custom tail numbers burned into textures will not be modified by this. Examples:Cessna Skyhawk 172SP( atc_id_color=0xffffffff )Cessna Grand Caravan( atc_id_color=0xff000000 )Extra 300S( atc_id_color=0xffff0000 )

Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work, unless it goes somewhere other than the {fltsim.#} sections?

Hi!Thanks for the answer! I couldn't get it to work either, but thanks anyway. By the way, I really like the Comanche! Great performance on my not-so-new-anymore pc. Thank you! :-) /Magnus
