The VF-31 Tomcatters have grown alot and have decided to add another wing to accommodate for the growing numbers of Catters.
JoeDog31 is still the CO & I am still the XO, just added another wing for more players is all.
Recruiting is still on hold for awhile until we get settled in.
Now for the question, how do I submit an insignia/nose art for the new wing?
Does the insignia need to be approved?
How/What do I do to make the insignia show up in game?

New Insignia:

The person that started the wing is the CO of that squad and is the one that needs to upload the art from the squad page on the clipboard in the officers club of any base. It must 64 X 64 pixels(or less I think).
It will take a few days to be approved/added to game and it is more about content than anything. There is a squad that flies one of our nose arts w/o permission and HTC aproved it. They just want it to be PC I guess. So it shouldn't matter that it is simular to your 1st squad's(wing).

cc that. And .bmp format right? I'd rather use .png so I can interlace (w/o a background).
I scaled it down in photoshop and it's pixeld to much.

Ratt if it's the same as the original just put your name on it (copy) put it in the squads folder and upload it in the game thru the oclub/ squads, or are you making it different?

Change the background color to AH's default transparent to get rid of that white square... something pink I think. Can't remember exactly Might put a BIG 2]/b] in the middle of that bomb so you can make it out better than the x2
-
Thanks Odee.
I made the insignia w/ a light grey background & I’m beginning to think I made it transparent because it shows up as just the insignia w/o the white background which is a plus.
Default is pink.
I think I may just put a big number 2 on the bomb
I got so caught up in photoshop and didn’t realize I had to use the “bottom of the creativeness barrel” that is MS Paint to get the 256 color.
I wonder why HTC does not allow .png files for nose art/insignias? Is it because a .png file will not mesh w/ the graphics in-game?

Photoshop does 256. I have the manual here somewhere let me know if u need me to dig it up!

I have the latest and greatest version of photoshop. It’s something that I haven’t dealt with in my short time in using photoshop and could not find. If you know how to make that change in photoshop please by all means let me know.
Oh, when are you going to join the VF-31 Tomcatters FireDrgn? If you did, you would be with your twin brother in Wing I. :)
