Hello,

I made some changes in my SQB file (modes country added Mil) and now when i see let say a German Air Force plane it is not showing the German air force flag, and in aircraft details it is saying Country is Germany. This also happend with some other Mil flags.

Is here some one that maybe has the correct lines that i can copy past in countries.dat to make this work?

I have used the countries.dat from bones aviation but this one is 40kb big, i know it is possible to make it smaller or not?

If that's the case, I don't think we can help.

That post explains how the Countries.dat file works and how to make changes. Which is what you need.

I have this as countries.dat file, and i make it smaller with changing the modescountry info in sqb, just to make my countries.dat file small (when it was to big sometimes basestation was loading to long on start up).

I've never seen any reports that a "large" Countries.dat file causes Basestation to take a long time to load.  My files in three times the size of yours.

The Countries.dat file is fluid as hex code allocations continue to change.  And I'm not aware of a recently published "allocation table" which is why many have updated their Countries.dat file to cater for individual registrations.  Nor am I aware of a definitive file we can use.
