but...

...But if you have an Hexadecimal editor* you could check for the .dds files that are called in the "airplane model" M3d file, and then searching that name in the aircraft folder...

You could look for XVI32 :

Install it and attach the M3D files to be opened by this software...

Or if anyone knows much precisions on the Potez...

I don't find the place of the nose in psd file to register the figure white 8 in a black circle.

Where is painted that nose

Pas sur de comprendre le pb...

I think Dewoitine expected an extra special dds file for the nose, because he can't locate his
place in the actual dds texture...

(...un pic, un cap, ou une peninsule ? : Cyrano de Bergerac)

You won't be able to, I'm afraid - the simple reason is that the skin is stretched over the model, and the area below the nose is deformed. You can't really see it with the normal skins, but you will if you try painting anything there. And as it is half on one side and half on the other as well... Well, I wouldn't even try.

Yes, I see. I am going to try to make 2 halves of 8 !!!!!!

Hi Dewoitine,
isn't it possible to modify a file so that you can add the "8" as noseart, rather than editing the .dds file?
I don't know what needs to be modified to add noseart - maybe its the m3d file?

The MOS file. You'd need two halves of the decal, because the MOS file places decals onto the skin dds sheet.
