Folks!
As you may know or not know I always try to record our sessions by using FB´s Online Recording Tool (ORT). Thinking about watching the last session I had some serious troubles to recognize the single pilots by their squad numbers and/or national markings. I´d like to recommend you to use at least your proper squad number for your easy identifying, please!
If you don´t know how to type in your sqaud number then have a look onto following picture ...

I NEVER KNEW!!!
Thank You O' Wise and ALL KNOWING ONE!!
WHere in the game do we place the squad marking insignia? I seem to recall a discussion with that info. Alas, in all the all the hustle and bustle of the last couple of months in my life I've forgotten.
I'm so embarassed... can I blame Falcon or maybe Helo??
I think that I've already installed them so I'll go hunting and see if I can find them.

Thanks for the reminder. I usually fly with No. 97 even in non-squad games at HyperLobby.
Question - I like flying with the FI crest on my planes, but in order to "grab" the graphic out of the regiment directory I must NOT choose a Country. Unfortunately, most servers (and rightly so) want folks to fly with their Country markings.
Outside of the actual skin-embedded crest option, is there a way to have both the Country and FI regiment crest displayed on planes?

Please download the squad´s crest/insignia/seal from our "Dowloads/Design" section, extract them, read the "Readme.txt" and put them into your
X:\UbiSoft\IL-2 Sturmovik Forgotten Battles\PaintSchemes\Regiments folder. After that you´re free to choose the squad´s insignia for many countries ...
Have a look here, please!

In case someone's as slow as me, there are several crests to download and place in your regiment directory. I initially only downloaded the "no country" one. Hence it only worked when I selected no country - go figure!

Hi G.
An other question
will the stats on the vow and VEF sites only be udated if I choose The russian, USA or UK side and what will happen if i choose none in the country slot of FB.
if i choose none, then my number 96 will not be showed at the side of my plane .
but if i choose a country e.g. russia then The marks of my fis planes wil be overwritten thats ugly.
is there something i do not know or do i have to use NM/blank planes.
thanx in advance
