Advanced Info Screen

[michaelmichael]

I have two campaigns running which give erroneous country Id's on the advanced Information screens.
1. Free French Campaign flying in th european theater my country code entry is
[Country.5]
name=Free France
short_name=USA
nationality=Free French
heading=oclock
but it shows up on the adv. info screen as  Country = USA. changing the short name has not helped

2. Vichy French Campaign flying in the middle east, my country code entry is
[country.6]
name=France
short_name=USA
nationality=Vichy French
heading=bearing

but it shows up as 'country unknown' in the advanced Info screen

is there a solution for this anomaly

thanks

Well guys i thought i just share with you that through trial and error i was able to answer my question.

here it is :
for the advance info screen to show the correct country the allegiance/country code in the CFS2 country file must match the allegiance number for each aircraft in every mission of the campaign.

the advanced info screen also provides LOCATION of the action. Some time it is missing in add on campaigns or missions. This can be rectified by updating the opareas file in the INFO folder with the longtitude and latitude coordinates of the theater/actions  in question.

I just added the LOCATION for the Finnish campaign as follows: N60.00  E20.00  and N70.00  E35.00 and given it the name of Finnish/Russian Theater; and that is the way it shows up on the Advanced Info screens of each mission.
