Java Applets

Stars & Bars

Due to the browsers not supporting NPAPI, you will need to download the jar file StarsAndBarsTestHarness.jar and run it which requires Java to be installed on your machine. The application will require you to enter a run key. Enter "mdr 10-24-2016" without the quotes, and click OK. The application will launch.

Firefox 84 was the last version with NPAPI plugin support

This tool was inspired after reading an article in Model Airplane News. I implemented a tool that can be used to print an insignia of any desired size.

Instructions

Click the button "Launch Stars & Bars Applet"
If you have java, and allow it to run, you should
see a button like this above these instructions.


   If not, you may have to activate Java if you see this -
After clicking the button "Launch Starts and Bars Applet",
A window will appear like this -
Click "Stars & Bars" to access the menu items, which allow
the selection of the insignia, colors, and options.
Before printing, access options and set the Size of the
insignia to print.

NOTES:
When using the 'Roundel Selector" and selecting the 'Prewar and Early War' or 'Early War' options, I think the insignias are incorrect. I don't think they should have a border around the points of the star.
