Grand Duke Liveries issue
-
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, 0,0,0This 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! 🤩

Here's a little sneak peek. I got the dynamic reg numbers hidden with the method you suggested - although MSFS 2024 still tries to put a tail reg on the aircraft unless I go into the in-game "Identification" menu and remove the reg number.
Although this might look like a fictitious paint it's actually real - although there only seems to be one reference photo and apparently the aircraft has since been repainted!
