An OperatorFlags bmp file will only display in BaseStation if the aircraft record has a corresponding file name in its Operator Flag Code field.

Have you checked the aircraft records?

This Guide (https://radarspotting.com/forum/index.php?action=tportal;sa=download;dl=item43) may help.

By "VS" do you mean Windows Virtual Store?

If you do, that folder shouldn't be in the Virtual Store.  It should be in the same folder as the BaseStation.exe.

How did you install BaseStation?

If you accepted the default Program Files (x86) location all the required folders and files should be in the Kinetic directory.  Windows would also install the active BaseStation.sqb and BaseStation.ini files in the VirtualStore.  And "ghost" ones in the Kinetic directory.

All other sub-folders, including OperatorFlags, should be in the Kinetic directory in Program Files (x86).

Yes I mean Virtual Store by VS

I used an ISO of the original disk, which worked fine.

I Have the OpFlags in the PGMF(X86)/Kinetic folder, and the BS SQB & INI file in the VS , still having same issue.... ?

Thanks.  Maybe a rogue file.  Have you run BMPCHK (https://radarspotting.com/forum/index.php?action=tportal;sa=download;dl=item54) ?

Thanks for your help so far.

I did, nothing flagged as an issue.

What I have since done is clear the OPF file and I am adding each flag as I pick up something and all seems OK.

I think there may have been a 'size' issue with my OPF file..... thats all I can think of!
