Hello everyone,

I paint a lot of aircraft for FSX but I don't know what to do now...
Working on my new repaint the NATO E-3A AWACS LX-N90450 ''70 Years NATO'', as you can see down below you need to apply his registration on the Radar (don't know how to call these lol)
anyway when I paint these one is mirrored and the other in the correct way, but I only have 1 texture where I can repaint those. I don't know if i'm clear so I attached some pics, maybe someone can help me with this.

The location of textures is defined by the model. As you can't change the model there options are limited. What I normally do is either leave the numbers out, or chose numbers which can be mirrored (like 0, 1 and 8).

I realise these options are both not authentic, but in my options these are the best alternatives.

Cheers,

That's a shame, it costs me a lot of the quality of my repaint. Well unfortunately I don't have a other option, thanks anyway
 
From the texture sheet, it looks like you do have the radar pedestal / support available, one upright, the one next to it inverted. Did you notice that?

Seems you just need a flipped regnum on the inverted one. HOWEVER - they may indicate a side view and a front/back view. If you put a number on the inverted, unpainted one, see what happens. Can't hurt.
