This is from the help section:

"The Upload Noseart button can be used by the squad CO to upload a 64x64 noseart graphic.  Graphics are not displayed in the game nor on the web page until they have been reviewed by the HTC staff.  The transparency color to use in order to make your noseart blend into the plane is {176, 176, 176}.  To upload a graphic, make sure your 64x64 bitmap file is named with your Game ID and is in your ../HTC/Aces High/squads/ directory.  Next, click the Upload Noseart button.  Once the noseart is approved, your squad members may force the new image to download by deleting the existing noseart in their ../HTC/Aces High/squads directory."

You can create your noseart in Paint, Photoshop, Gimp or any other graphics program.

Also, once you follow the directions Rolex found for you, you can go online (I'd recommend a rear base or the TA) and up a plane to see how your noseart looks.  No need to upload it or wait for HTC approval to view it on YOUR plane.  Once you submit it by uploading it, you have to wait for approval for others to use/see it.

In your main AH2 installation folder, there's a folder called "squads".  That's where all the squad noseart gets put.

Yes, after you drop it in there, YOU can see it to make sure it looks Ok.  When you go to the O'Club and "submit noseart", once HTC approves it, EVERYONE can see it and it will show on your squaddies planes too.
