This sounds good, it's taken me some thinking to understand it as no other sim I've owned uses such a method. I will check to see if my Photoshop Elements 2 can give stats for scale as you mention.
Since the scale and position are editable, there is great flexibility here it seems. It would appear that I can create a ascii file that contains something like:
aircraft type "a"
squadron "s"
decal name "emblem1.*"
decal scale "%x; %y"
decal position "x; y"
Would a file like this exist for each plane? Or would there be a single ascii file that organizes all the aircraft types perhaps?
Also, I thank you for the kind offer of testing the package, but I don't have BoB2. I just spent most of my free cash on some telescope parts!
