Hi chaps,

I tried adding the lines to the config file(s) but,as reported, it didn't work with the Steam version but I did manager to enable the marking by the following method.

In game goto the Options menu and then to the General menu. Scroll down to the bottom and click on Historical Decals and change it to yes and apply. Thjis took me to the login screen for the Yuplay website and an option to enable historical decal. I applied this download autoatically. Restarted the game and then went back to the Options -- General menu again and selected yes for the Historical Decals and hey presto they were applied in game. I am in the UK by the way.

Regards

Aces

Edit: Kudos to the devs for providing this option for those of us that like their decals historical smile

Well, that's the official way to get the decals in the UK. The problem is activating them with IPs from France, Germany and in that respect similar countries. You just used the settings as you should.

The swastika issue bothers me no end. For chrissakes symbols have no power, unless you have a weak mind. And I need no more additional reminders of the current Orwellian state of affairs.

Where you from, Rotagen?
I'm going shopping for TP later on, thought I might pick up your nation's flag to use.
Or perhaps you could get a swastika tattoed on your forehead, and enjoy the reactions of the weakminded.

Of course symbols have power. That's why they're called symbols.

Obviously, the act of tatooing a symbol on one's forehead carries considerable symbolic power in itself. Simply wishing for historic accuracy in a wwii flight simulator hardly counts as an equally extreme act, surely? I, for one, am no closet nazi sympathizer, and feel no guilt in wishing for swastikas, think guilt would be absurd. But I would certainly consider someone who mutilates their forehead with a swastika most likely to be a strong nazi supporter.

Study the origin of the swastika; read a book. It has nothing to do with nazis unless you wish it to, or society tells you to.

It's a game, grow up.

A guy with a swastika on his forehead needs attention, therefore...ignore him.

I'd happily wipe my arse with any flag you give me, if no TP is handy, especially an american flag. Oh yeah. I'm a 'Mercan. LOL. I give not a sh*t. (hey, thats almost poetic).

And if you wouldn't do the same with the aussie flag (basically a minor variation on the brit flag because of their "owned" status for so many years), remind me to never go camping with you. hehe.
