Easy.

 

Extract the NATIONS.INI file (if you haven't already) from the MissionData.CAT file located in the Flight folder.

 

Here's a link to learn how to use the CAT extractor: http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showtopic=32706

 

Then, add an entry (this one as an example):

 

[Nation219]

Name=Terra

DisplayName=Terran Air Force

Alignment=FRIENDLY

PlayerFlyable=TRUE

Mercenary=FALSE

PilotNameList=NamesTerra.lst

RankList=RanksUSAF.lst

CallsignList=CallsignsUS.lst

Formation.Fighter=USFighter

Formation.Attack=USFighter

Formation.Bomber=USBomber

Formation.Transport=USBomber

Formation.Tank=USTank

Formation.MobileAD=USAD

PilotTrainingStandard=EXCELLENT

GenderRatio=0.95

DebriefSuccessMusic=DebriefSuccess.wav

DebriefFailMusic=DebriefFail.wav

DebriefKilledMusic=DebriefKilled.wav

SpeechFile=USAFSpeech.cat

SpeechTextFile=USAFSpeechText.str

Medals=MedalsUSAF.ini

MedalTextFile=MedalsUSAF.str

 

As far as roundels go, you need to learn how to make decals using TGA files (Gimp is a good program to start with). Once you have the decals you want, it's a simple matter to add them to your aircraft...usually by putting them in the Objects/Decals folder, then refering to them in the Decals.ini file in your specific aircraft install.

Take a look at another aircraft that uses decals. Actually, if you have a specific aircraft, take a look at it. Look at the decal.ini file (usually located in the texture subdirectory). Read it...you'll figure it out pretty quickly.

 

Basically, you will need a new texture (you can copy one that you like), a new textureset.ini, and a new decal.ini. Decals normally go into the D directory. If you aren't sure what I'm talking about, look at this thread (overview of the directory layout):

And this thread (how to add new skins):
