Put in squads folder with your game ID as the name (<gameID>.bmp) then through the clipboard upload it that way. It gets sent to HTC for approval, so you have to wait for it to kick in.

Yeah, and only the CO of the squad can upload it.

ok thanks. I have changed it in the squads folder. I was just wondering why it went back to the orginal one. I will do it again and give it a few days and see what happens. Thanks again.

i've always wondered about how to get the squad noseart to show on the squad score look up and the squad listing page?

If you're the CO of the squad, just have the nose art file named with your game id and put it in your ah2\squads folder (look in there to see everyone else's).
Go online and enter the O'Club/Squad area and "upload nose art".  That's it.

Once Skuzzy processes it, everyone else in your squad will download it and apply it to their airplanes automatically.  It will also "just show up" on the squad pages on the HTC website.

tried that about 4 years ago.  So either my squad hasn't had noseart for all this time and i'm the only guy to see it on everyone elses plane or something has gone amiss.   Can you do me a favour imadot and check your squads directory for Bruv119    tyvm.   :D

I do not see a nose are file for Bruv119.  :frown:

Make sure your file is 64x64 256 color indexed RGB saved as Bruv119.bmp.  Use a utility program called Bright to index it - I've had better luck with that than with Photoshop's "Indexed colors" format.

Submit it again and maybe email Skuzzy to find out if/when he can process it.  I believe he tries to process nose are submission once a week.
