Creating Icon commands

updated: 17 July, 2002


Readme:

To use the icon adjusments, you have to create console commands and place them in your rcu file.
The rcu file is in the programs/ubisoft/IL2 Sturmovik folder.

Open your rcu file in notepad, and add the commands below.

NOTE!-make sure that you save it as a file with no extension. Save your original file by adding an extension, rcu.txt, for instance.

My RCU file:

1.Bold indicates the command you would type from the console(">" prompt) to get the desired icon setting.
2.Naming convention: I for Icon, E or F for Enemy or Friendly, followed by a name.
