Hi again Alin!

Quote
the ranks would go something like:
0 Sergent
2 Plutonier
3 Plutonier Major
4 Sublocotenent
5 Locotenent
5 Locotenent (Acting Capitan)
6 Capitan

DONE

For the awards. Good points, then I'll make this suggestion:
0 Military Virtue Medal 2nd Class
1 Military Virtue Medal 1st Class
2 Medal of Faithful Service
3 Cross of Faithful Service 2nd Class
4 Cross of Faithful Service 1st Class
5 Order of the Crown of Romania Knight Class
6 Order of the Star of Romania Knight Class
7 Order of Michael the Brave 3rd Class

You're right about the Loyal Service Order....my fault , I miss the post WW1 establishment....

But about the the Loyal Service Order it seem more a religious order so I have modified the award into:

0 Military Virtue Medal (2nd class)
1 Military Virtue Medal (1st class)
2 Faithful Service Medal (2nd class)
3 Faithful Service Medal (1st class)
4 Faithful Service Cross (2nd class)
5 Faithful Service Cross (1st class)
6 Star of Romania Order's Knight
7 Michael the Brave Order's Knight

BUT

I have good pictures of the Knight Cross and not so good pictures for the Faithful Service Medal (2nd class)....so is very possible that I'll switch them....moreover only 2 knights awards seem too few....

SOLVED & SAVED

What about a double medal at the start of your career?

I have done this also for Russia in the first medals awarded....

And is anyway historical because often pilots got their awards with some delay.....maybe you got the first for your first plane downed but you got it delayed and among the second....just in time as the game reach the first award target points....

And so I think that we could agree with this:

0 Military Virtue Medals (1st & 2nd cl.)
1 Faithful Service Medal (2nd cl.)
2 Faithful Service Medal (1st cl.)
3 Loyal Service Cross (2nd cl.)
4 Loyal Service Cross (1st class)
5 Crown of Romania Order's Knight
6 Star of Romania Order's Knight
7 Michael the Brave Order's Knight

That's great. Just a note, the order of Michael the Brave didn't have a 'knight class', it had 'numbered' classes. The only one that soldiers could receive was the 3rd Class. So can you change the 'Order of Michael the Brave Knight Class' to 'Order of Michael the Brave 3rd Class'?

The source will do. Just wanna know what medals you found as I've also been looking for images of WW1 medals too, and they're somewhat harder to find than their WW2 versions.

From the alpha tester I got the suggestion to try merge this work with DOF countries to mantain BAT missions/campaigns compatibility....

I'll try to merge it from tomorrow....

I need help to decide:

Actually I have temporarly renamed DE and RU (see below) because these 2 are undeleable countries to allow the game engine working correctly....
I was keeping them as generic blue/red side....waiting to develop russian revolution files for them (I have planned to use DE for White russia and RU for Revolutionary Russia)...

DE _CENTRAL POWERS_
RU _ALLIED POWERS_

Should I:

1) restore their names but in the post WWI version....plus....add also other historical air force existed until 1926 (the start of TGA timeline)....then all remaining countries....

OR

2) only find a renamig shortcut to allow WWI conflicting nations to be still shown at the top of the list....

Question mark.....

I'll keep them to allow older missions or campaign to work as generic side....this because without any renaming the units in those .mis files should be German or Russian from WWII....

Today I renamed 3 nations to have unique WWI presence (Romania , Bulgaria , Greece) and added all missing Forgotten Countries mod Nations at the lower part of the list in country.ini file....this addition is what 'll give compatibility with all previous missions or campaign devloped....

The work should be possible but this way I have to add hundered of units....maybe a new Alpha_bis test could be ready for Easter....

At the end this could became what initially I tried not to do: a total update , reorganization and upgrade of stock Forgotten Countries....

This week I'll try to test adding some major country....

Maybe I find how to add all the nations we have (plus some missing like Afghanistan...) and also add the missing nations available from Aviaskins DGen version....so we could have a better compatibility at least for missions....

I think that I could arrange the list in different order for DOF , TGA , WAW and JTW but to have all in order maybe is needed to add specific single missions folders for each specific module....

In the next days I'll start to work about the general list of nations and I'll post the results here before open a new tread for the global countries unification and reorganization....
