Incorrect hornet pilot insignia orientation in DCS 2.5.6.49314

[Home Fries]

With the new patch texture format having a single rank insignia repeated on both shoulders, non-symmetric rank insignia (like commander's oak leaves and captain's eagles) are oriented the same way. I would prefer going back to two rank insignia so we could place them in the textures as they should be oriented, but if we are to have just a single insignia, then at least the insignia should be rotated 180 degrees or mirrored for the right shoulder. Mirroring or rotating symmetrical insignia won't matter, so there is no apparent downside to doing this. Also please note that this is exactly the same bug I posted for the Huey in DCS 1.2.7.

 

Here's an example of what I mean: I have a texture for a lieutenant commander.

 

 

A lieutenant commander wears the gold oak leaves (similar to a major in the Air Force), with the stem facing outboard toward the sleeve.

 

 

With the orientation the same on the right shoulder, the stem points inboard toward the neck. This is incorrect.
