    Balloons and aircraft with markings

    Hello everyone,
    it's been some time that i've been away-my PC blew up about six months ago.....
    Well, i'm back trying to some missions and have two questions that i really cannot resolve by myself.Any help will be very well received.

    1tatic aircraft with markings, roundels/crosses etc, eye Candy i know but it does look pretty. Whenever i place static aircraft on an airfield they always have no markings. Can anybody tell me how to correct this, i've seen it plenty of times, i just don't know how to do it!!

    2: Barrage Balloons, on a couple of servers i've seen barrage balloons, when i place them they are always on the ground! How does one get them in the "air" so to speak?

    Many thanks for Reading this and if anyone could help it would be great. Many thanks again for the great videos which have been uploaded.

    If you are using static balloons set the desired height in "Z Offset".

    If you want a raising balloon use the British or German Balloon Winch and set Hstart and Hend, when mission begin they start raise until the final height (Hend), those drift with the wind.

    BTW - Like parachute/parachutist, trees... the balloon cables is "virtual" in CLoD (in IL-2:46 they are solid), but contrary to parachute/parachutist the balloons is "kill'able".

    Place the balloon or balloon winch, select their properties and adjust:

    Hstart (Height at start) - I think minimum is 10 (meters).

    Hend (Height at end) - I don't test this - but WII balloons max height is ~1500m. Computer CFS/G players, specially in online environment like fly at low altitudes, use the altitude that you want the balloons.

    That was silly of me,
    i hadn't seen the Hstart and Hend box!!!
    Many thanks, i will be testing this this afternoon, I don't want to be annoying, but do you have any ideas on how to get the aircraft roundels/crosses on the static a/c?


    Thank you

    No, never pay much attention to skins.

    I don't think static aircraft can have markings as it is now.

    All the screens shots that you see are probably using AI aircraft or player aircraft... could be wrong but maybe not.

    Balloons. Moving up and down have been known to crash server missions in the past. Or at least 2-4 in the same area of the map. So be careful. It should be fixed in future.

    And static balloons, cause issue?

    But since their cables are like CloD threes, they have only "decorative" use.

    Thanks for replying everyone,
    The static a/c with markings are eye Candy only,but i do go onto servers (TWC misión server for example) and see parked aircraft with markings, i beleive danger dogs has them too-if i remember its a beaufighter at Cantebury,parked next to the runway. I'ts really to flesh out an airfield,give it life but i have seen it.
    The Balloons, love them. I was making a quick SP misión for squadron practise where you had to shoot the balloons down next to an irfield,silly i know but amusing. If anyone has any thoughts....

    Try this, set a mission with clouds, wind, set a balloon winch.
    At mission start, shoot at the winch, the balloon go up and drift in clouds, await a bit and then find and shoot down.
