Title: Custom Wing Names Problem
Post by: Zanar on February 21, 2011, 02:03:11 am

hi i have a noob question about fred 2 open.....

whenever i try to put a new wing name on the mission itself it only shows up with 3 characters
eg if my wing name is Dusk on the mission specs thing on the hud display it appears as Dus.......

Unfortunately only the first three letters of a wing name will show up on that display.

Solution: Use RED wing instead.

But yeah, its always been like that, I don't give a damn that Blue turns out BLU or Assassin turns out ASS.

Now I am confused. Are we talking about in game actually flying around? Briefing? Some FRED display?
