This is the actual situation, the names are back but the icons are not. 
	attached to this message you can find my HUDDATA.INI file, it's the only one that i have in my pc and is located 
	here C:\Users\myusername\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2\Flight\HUDDATA.INI 
	and here C:\Program Files (x86)\ThirdWire\Strike Fighters 2\Flight 
	 
	after your messages, as you've said, i've changed only the words in bold: 
	[MapLabels] 
	EnableLabels=TRUE 
	LabelFriendlyAir=TRUE 
	LabelFriendlyGround=TRUE 
	LabelEnemyAir=TRUE  
	LabelEnemyGround=TRUE 
	 
	i couldn't find the empty .TGA file, but I found a MAPENEMYICON.TGA that is a red square, i expect that to be important for my purpose. 
	 
	 
 
	can you explain yourself better about this? 
	As i said, i couldnt find the transparent file but my problem appears to be in someway related to that file? 
	i also tried to delete the HUDDATA.INI but nothing changed.
