Could someone please help with this question?
I have logged 2-SALE and it's listed on the Guernsey aircraft register. When it's showing on the basestation,  the "Flag" is showing as Poland. When editing the details the country is showing Poland.  Any ideas how to show the correct flag and country please? Many thanks.

It's miscoded as 48EBED hence showing as Poland. You should be able to edit the country to Guernsey but the flag (I think) is dervied from the ModeS hex code, so you can't change that. Well, you can, but then every Polish aircraft would show a Guernsey flag, which is not desirable.

It flies with both 43EBED (correct) and 48EBED (miscode).

I think you could edit the Countries.dat file to show the miscoded hex as Guernsey:

Thanks Mike, I had forgotten about your excellent post on configuring the Countries.dat file. In which case something like:

Guernsey_4=010010001110101111101101,24,Guernsey.bmp

Should work. I already have 3 entries for Guernsey hence the '_4' suffix.

The credit should go to Jack Ford, Dave Reid and Bones.

I just gathered together their advice.
