It's going to be like old Pro evolution soccer versions where Roberto Carlos was called Roberto Larcos... ^^

Svastika branches will be reversed, Adolf Hitler will be called Adilf Hatler and Hermann Goering will be Gernamm Hoering...

Seriously, that's a sad piece of news but you're right to play the safety !

These knuckle dragging Gorrilas ironically do not seem to comprehend that Russia suffered terribly fighting against Fascism, and that Hitler considered most Slavs to be 'Untermenschen' and sub-human (lol.....what a f*cking dick). I'd love to know what (if anything) goes through these peoples heads. Hate crimes against those from the Southern Caucausus, Tajiks, blacks and anyone who is not ethnically Russian, as well as anti-Semitism are on the increase. It is a very real problem.....not just in Russia but elsewhere too.

I would agree that in the context of a computer game this is quite ludicrous, historical veracity never turned anyone into a Nazi, unless they were f*cked in the head already. :)

1c are being very wise in playing it safe IMO, it would be foolish to jeopardise development over this frankly inconsequential point. It is of course a simple matter for skin makers to overcome this 'problem'.....end of story really.

Glad to see that things are progressing Ilya, some of the criticisms have merit but its WIP, you guys are probably tearing your hair out over some of the OTT BS comments. Constructive criticism is of course a good (and necessary) thing, but some folk take things a bit too far IMO.

Carry on, it will be out when its out and keep up the good work. Don't let the b*stards get you down. :grin:

Would it be possible to make the setting for the skin a squadron uses in an off-line campaign accessable to the player? It is possible to do now in IL2 by manually editing the mission file, but it require people fiddle around in the game folders where they normally don't go. If this setting is a made available from the campaign screen, Much of the swastica trouble will go away as soon as user made skins are available. It would also benefit people who like to skin themselves and have the squadron fly with their own designs.
