Hi,
Been banging my head against the wall on this.
I'm trying to do a repaint of a 1979 C-152. In that year, Cessna put the N-Number in small characters on the vertical tailplane, so I'd like to turn off the N-Number decals on the fuselage and underside of the wing.
In the aircraft.cfg file:
if I set atc_id= "" The N-Number on the fuselage turns off, but, then ATC doesn't know who I am.
I've tried setting atc_id_enable = 0, "0", and 2, no effect on N-number visibility
I tried setting atc_id_color = "#000000000", hoping that would make it transparent... MSFS ignored it and the N-number is still white. Or maybe transparent is just white?
I have not been able to figure out how the N-number decal is applied to the fuselage.
I searched the SDK and couldn't find any reference to these variables.
Any ideas?
Is it a bug that atc_id_enable doesn't work?
Edit: Apparently atc_id_enable only controls whether the user can edit it in startup UI...
Edit: So if I leave atc_id blank, how does the built in ATC know who I am? Yes, I enjoy using the ATC function in the sim...
