Grand Duke Liveries issue

[lehbird]

For some reason, all by Grand Duke Liveries have a weird block on the fuselage. (See Attached) All other Dukes are fine. Any idea what happened and how to solve?

Thanks

Your image does not appear to have uploaded correctly, but are you using MSFS 2020 or 2024? Is this a custom livery, or one that comes in the original installation?

If we're speaking of MSFS 2024, this is a bug that I have asked Asobo to fix regarding my highly customizable registration system. Whether it works has to do with loading the aircraft in the customization menu first, before your flight.

@Black-Square I've run in to this issue in MSFS 2024. I'd like to create a real-world custom livery with a static registration which I would add directly in the texture images. Is there a way to completely eliminate the custom registration in the Duke, for this type of livery? I'm aware of a slightly hacky workaround of editing PistonDuke_EXT.XML and hiding the GLTF objects which contain the custom registration, but that would probably mean I cannot share the livery since I wouldn't want to redistribute modified versions of your models.

In both simulators, you can replace the [VPainting01] entry in your custom panel.cfg with an empty default registration of size 0,0. That would look something like this:

[VPainting01]
size_mm				= 0,0
texture				= $RegistrationNumberInt
location 			= interior
painting00=Registration/Registration.html?font_color=white, 0, 0,0,0

This should work in MSFS 2024, despite how it mangles my custom registration system, though I haven't tried it.

@Black-Square Many thanks - I'll give this a try once I've got the livery textures done! BTW: I just watched your Starship trailer - amazing! 🤩
