Try to fly without 'em, you'll get used to it very soon.
Just to add to that (and this was in a past thread), Oleg and company will likely not be including anything that allows swastikas out of the box. No "hidden" settings where you can flip a switch and get them. Someone tell me if I interpreted that wrongly.

Eventually I am sure that third parties will develop those skins but you would probably run into the issues Swiss mentioned.

If Oleg and company allowed an "out of the box" switch for those symbols, it might be construed as a no-no by his own government. And of course, there are other countries that would consider it a no-no.

Stupid laws with dubious motives? Sure. But that's neither here nor there, they exist some places and there's no reason for the developer to put out two versions. I personally find the lack of swastikas a small detail that I have not bothered to correct as the absence is really of no importance to me.

I hope I touched on all sides of that issue as a summation so we don't need to further derail this thread lol.
