Nothing but I love that flag. If you manage to make a MoW Nam custom map for the battle of Xuan Loc or any custom S&D missions I'd love to try.

press numbers on the numpad, it'll turn the color box (top left) on the color of the team you are spawning/controlling.

I am having the same problem, I haven't been able to find a fix for it unfortunately. But if I find one, I will definently tell you. I feel like it has something to do with windows 10, but not exactly sure.

I finally solved it! You just need to press the fn key and the f key really fast! Note that I said really fast, I mean just hit them.
