Incorrect letters in pilots' names - Guest - 04.01.2010

When I start a campaign and go to the roster, there are some incorrect cyrillic letters displayed in pilots' names.This happens with Finnish, Hungarian and Slovakian pilots.Any ideas what causes this and how to fix it?

not easy to solve.

since the MOD is basing on a russian exe the lettering works diffrent.
you need to figure out for finnish, what the correct ASCI (or whatever code it is...) for you special signs of your alphabet is.

you can by making a dummy mission with FMB.
you type your letter into the briefing, then check the .properties file with a text editor.
you will find something like \u00E4 ...
you have to manually exchange by text editor the names in pilots file for these letters. Maybe the briefing messages files too.

I had to do that for German too.
