General Question Blue DG

[vibester27]

Having problems getting the blue dg. When I go to scenario editor I can find the blue dg, but after I finish edit it's still red.:idk:

How did you set the blue skin for the DeltaGlider in Scenario Editor? I don't see such option for stock DG/DG-S in the Scenario Editor. :shrug:

Are you asking about the stock DeltaGlider or other DeltaGlider?

For the stock DeltaGlider / DG-S you change its skin by editing the scenario file with text editor, and by adding to the DeltaGlider's state line:

SKIN BLUE

Thank you for your reply. In the texture folder there is a folder called ds with sub folder Skins and another sub folder called Blue. In the Scenario Editor it has the stock DeltaGlider, and about half way down the list it also has ds, the picture shows a blue DeltaGlider. Is this the stock DeltaGlider that I need to edit, or another DeltaGlider.

You needn't edit either of them. Spawn one, then open "(Current State).scn" with a text editor like Notepad. Find the paragraph describing your deltaglider (Your_Vesseleltaglider) and add what Orb posted:

SKIN BLUE

There is no other way to change the deltaglider's livery.

Notice how in that .scn, there are 2 DG's

See how GL-01 is landed on Habana. It is red.
GL-02 has the SKIN BLUE tag at the bottom of it's entry, so it is blue.
This can not be changed via scenario editor. Open a .scn (found in Orbiter/Scenarios) with notepad and add SKIN BLUE to the DG you want to change.

In the Scenario Editor it has the stock DeltaGlider, and about half way down the list it also has ds, the picture shows a blue DeltaGlider.

Those pictures are just screenshots from Orbiter to show general appearance of the vessel. However, they don't need to present the livery that is used by default.

That worked, now I have a blue and a red DG. Thank you for all the help:thumbup:
