Doubt it.

What's the issue? You're not looking at the blue Finnish one are you?

Blue Swastika was the symbol of the Finnish Air Force before the National Socialist German Workers Party was even founded.

About as much to do with the Nazis as the Swastikas on Hindu temples.

Not that i'm advocating changing the rules but:

What is the argument for no swastikas on skins? Why is it different to an RAF roundel or US star and stripes. If it was historically on the plane, shouldnt it be recreated here? Im assuming because people don't want to be thought of as a Nazi because they fly a german plane in a flight sim..?

Like i said, i'm not saying we should put them on, just wondering the official reason.

I had the same question. As it was explained to me, certain countried have made it illegal to posses anything with a swastika, so if someone in that country was playing this game, they could be arrested because of that cartoon swastika.

Don't the bends go in the opposite direction on the Finnish swastika?
