As far as I know, you will have to create two almost identical Nations in NATIONS.INI.

 

[NationXXX]
Alignment=ENEMY
StartDate=1956
EndDate=1990

[NationXXY]
Alignment=FRIENDLY
StartDate=1991
EndDate=2050

 

As an example for you, here are my Soviet and Russian entries:

[Nation005]
Name=Soviet
DisplayName=Soviet Air Force
Alignment=ENEMY
PilotNameList=NamesRussian.lst
RankList=RanksRussian.lst
CallsignList=CallsignsUS.lst
Formation.Fighter=SovietFighter
Formation.Attack=SovietFighter
Formation.Bomber=SovietBomber
Formation.Transport=SovietBomber
Formation.Tank=SovietTank
Formation.MobileAD=SovietAD
PilotTrainingStandard=NORMAL
GenderRatio=0
DebriefSuccessMusic=DebriefSuccess.wav
DebriefFailMusic=DebriefFail.wav
DebriefKilledMusic=DebriefKilled.wav
SpeechFile=USAFSpeech.cat
SpeechTextFile=USAFSpeechText.str
EndDate=1990

[Nation209]
Name=Russia
DisplayName=Russian Air Force
Alignment=ENEMY
PilotNameList=NamesRussian.lst
RankList=RanksRussian.lst
CallsignList=CallsignsUS.lst
Formation.Fighter=SovietFighter
Formation.Attack=SovietFighter
Formation.Bomber=SovietBomber
Formation.Transport=SovietBomber
Formation.Tank=SovietTank
Formation.MobileAD=SovietAD
PilotTrainingStandard=EXCELLENT
GenderRatio=0
DebriefSuccessMusic=DebriefSuccess.wav
DebriefFailMusic=DebriefFail.wav
DebriefKilledMusic=DebriefKilled.wav
SpeechFile=USAFSpeech.cat
SpeechTextFile=USAFSpeechText.str
StartDate=1991

 

As you can see, they are pretty much the same. Also, to use the same Nation-specific Insignia, I just had to copy the Soviet one, named "INSIGNIA005" and rename it to "INSIGNIA209".

You can also use specific calander dates (not just years). For example, you can arrange it so that the USAF does not exist before 18 September, 1947 (the date it became a separate branch of the military).

I'd reccomend extracting the latest Nations.ini from the flight data cat, and going through it line by line ... it'll rapidly become apparant how the 'switch' works.

NATIONS.INI it's located in MissionData1. :good: Though, it still need to be paste at "Flight".

Where do you save the new decals?
