Make a 64x64 (I think that's the size.... or was it 128x128???) pcx with pure green background (0, 255, 0)
Make a picture of a squad and put it on that green field. save as a 8bit pcx.

congratulations, you're done!

The PCS tutorial does in fact work perfectly, with the exception that it generates the polygons as part of an object as well as the insignia.  You need to have a subobject named as indicated, and it should be UV-mapped so that a single tile of a texture fits completely on it (ideally perfectly on it, as to prevent large insignias overtiling).  My prefered method is to get everything set up, convert with the insignia and again without, and import the insignia data into the model without one.

.pcx :blah:

Although, I guess it's unnecessary to change the formats that FS2 will accept.

Insignias are your wing logos that are pasted onto the side of your ship in FS2.  The insignia in the model is a set of polygons that display this logo.

And Kara's Modding FAQ really is the best place to start, or, if you're feeling brave, the Wiki.

I tried to make insignias for a model once. I followed that tutorial, and I got one working insignia (2 didn't work for me either).
The problem is, it was totally stretched in one direction and this looked outright ugly (the pof-subobject made from the cob-subobject was exactly where it should have been, however). :(

Any ideas what might have caused this?:confused:
