Can someone please tell me step, by step, how to get ONE FLAG (i.e. German) to fly over my cities? How to avoid conflicts etc. Thanks in advance!

Well, you have to make it an image you can use as a prop so you can add it to things (including flag poles), so you need the BAT which means you first have to download and activate gmax since the BAT is a gmax game pack.

If you haven't done it, I recommend running the tutorial that is part of the gmax site.  It doesn't make anything useful (a war club), but it is needed training.

So, then call the BAT, make an appropriate frame, then load the image of your flag into the frame as an exact fitting texture (use a jpg).  Export it as a prop (model) and there you are.  You can then incorporate it as a prop into wherever you need it.

Not that difficult, but if you have never done this kind of work, enjoy the learning curve.  It should take about a week of spare time.

    Agreed.  No point in inventing the wheel.
