'cos it looks sh*t? May as well put this on it "because Lufthansa used it from 1958 onwards"

Yes, Hitler was bad, as is what the "crooked cross" represented, but we must all remember history, not just certain parts or things.

The swastika isnt a nazi origonal as most know. Its still used in India as a symbol of peace/good luck etc. Some countrys need to lighten up. Its just a stinkin symbol. To many superstitous people still on this planet.

It's just weird that it's forbidden in something like a simulator, if you look at history books, or photographic books about WW2 you constantly see it.

I do agree that it should be forbidden if it's worshipped along with nazism.
But we just want historical accuracy.

Its not forbidden in most countries if its in a genuine historical context like a display of historical photographs from the period.

However its pretty difficult to claim that a game where people will be flying non-historical low level turn fights online in wonder woman view with cockpits turned off is a "genuine historical context" .

Why would it look like xxxx? At least it's a german military symbol and we won't get any Hakenkreuz in the original version of the game. So it's either something else, or nothing at all.

Your graphics editing/creation program of choice will fix this problem with little effort.

Or, just wait for our fine skinning community to fix it.

It could be a diamond shape seen on the tail of this model Ju


Or the outer arms as on this decals.


or...

I thought the swastika Was the symbol of Gay Pride! Or maybe it should be? It would take away any negitive association with the symbol!

Cheers!
