Map squadron insignia markers

Not sure but maybe \swf\il2\squadrons\ so swf.gtp. Under the squadrons folder there is a collection of numeric folders which I think are named the same as the internal id for the squadron. There are pngs and jpgs which look like squadron insignia.

Otherwise, you'd have to guess scg.gtp (note that some of the folders for scg are in other gtp files like locations)

 

I think you need to look at cfg files under scg to match squadron id to actual squadron. 

 

eg: in scg\22\squadrons2.cfg for squadron 103007 I see that this is a Spitfire Vb sqd based on Thorney Island in June 1944 and was named VCS-7, looking at folder 103007 under swf\il2\squadrons I see the insignia (dds file pngs are smaller and just the insignia itself so the RAF on is just the center bit in the png):

 

 

Similarly for id 102198 I see Typhoon 1Bs for 198 SQD RAF at Thorney Island and an insignia of:
