I'm not sure why he used that format instead of a .rar file, but a program such as WinRar will extract the the files for you.
7z is the compression used by the open source packer/unpacker programme 7zip. You can get it here:

There's a dozen files listed. which one do I need?

Great mod 8) . But gotta ask.
Did you make the national insignias your self or did you use some ones national insignia templates?

- McWolf - 23.04.2009

Hi JG54Spookie,
Nice work, much better template than mine, what I did are from default ones, too lazy :? to make all new by myself, and didn't find good qualified template at that time. Keep up your great work! 8)
Re 7zip, it's open source software, and I think it's simple and high compress rate than WinRAR and WinZip, much convenience to extract some file to certain folder.

Forget 4 and beyond.

I'm running windows XP 32 bit, so that means I would need 1 AND 2?

I did, in fact, make all the national markings myself. Most of them were made in a 600x600 in a vector format, and I simply reduced them to fit into a second PSD that is the correct size for the targas used by the game. I did use some of Ace's markings as sort of a guide for border widths on the insignia for which I couldn't find actual proportion guides.

Thanks McWolf. All I did was make some textures, though. Many thanks to you for actually putting together the mod.

Jolly good show Spookie 8) .
Reason I asked, is that many people forget to credit the markings/insignia authors.
And we do use a lot of times to create those templates.

Cheers Smile

No, just get the "executable" (1).

(.msi is a "windows installer file". Should work fine, but the exe type is used more often and less confusing)

Thank you to both, McWolf and Spooky for this wonderful mod.

THANK YOU Sirs.

- US_GRANT - 24.04.2009

Okay, I got it working. I still think there has to be a way to at least reposition the numbers on the American P-51 and P-47, moving up from where it is now. I just don't know how. No experience with this stuff.

- jsg72 - 04.05.2009

Mmmm. I'm a bit of a Noob at file altering.

How do I change the numbers from the default settigs for Luftwaffe?

- making153 - 08.05.2009

I've noticed since installing this that I dont now have any Italian markings ?? Can anyone advise?

- making153 - 09.05.2009

Hmm! Solved it somehow - overwrote McWolfs folder again now all ok!
