Title: Find a way for each pilot to write a name on side of aeroplane.
Post by: Midway on November 10, 2011, 09:38:41 PM
If not too hard to do... might be nice to honor someone of your choice (WWII ace, family member, yourself, whatever name you choose) with a name in cursive on the side below the canopy. :salute

yeah sure and you will have about 500 guys fighting each other because they all named their plane "silat's pimp daddy".

I always joked I wish we could place writing on front of tanks so I could add "YOU'RE GONA MISS" - although i'm sure when someone zooms and reads I will be dead pretty quick :)

"CDR James H. Hayden"  :salute Pops

I think this would be a fantastic idea!
The small stenciling would take up much less space than a squad logo on your plane.
It could go through a similar approval process.

I would love to add my nose art to the plane...  as well.  It would be neat if there were little customizeable variables for the pilots asside from just the skins and convergence.   :aok

Well I suspect it would be pretty simple to have your call sign / name show up under the canopy rail. As I understand it once you're in rage the game automatically picks this up, that's how we see it in the film viewer so a simple check box in flight preferences, or graphics preferences to turn it on, and (with more work of course) it would show when you're close to another plane.

Nose art or custom lettering would be much more work and is probably not practical.

I can barely see squad insignia on a plane from D200 on max resolution and settings. I doubt Im going to see tiny letterings. It'd be cool to see for Screenshots and what not, but in a dogfight or formations, you would barely make it out.

Just to know it's there and see it when you're on the ground is cool enough... or if someone is flying formation with your real close. :aok

I would like to write something there, but because so few people will see it I don't think HTC will make it. On the other hand they did make squadron nose-art, so I guess you never know.

to be honest with you guys if htc had to approve every single name it would take a long time.  after all we have thousands of players and if they were to just let us do it without checking the first day some guy would chose some name that it would cause htc to pull the idea.  so basically  you got no fricking chance in hell of it being implemented.

Just make it go though the same filter as what were typing on the forum. They have to approve nose art because it's a picture, text can be filtered automatically.

Why should that be filtered?

I think mine would read "If you can read this, this is how far I usually am from the offline drones."

Or,

"You are all just drones to me"

Isn't that what they put on buffs? ;)

Or for fighters, have a little block on the windshield that can be either clear or pasted over with a pictured..?
