So if the in-game flags suffer from this?
It's a fix that would be needed!
You'll find the display of aircraft markings is a bit of a compromise. Ref went with the way that displayed the most markings correctly. Unfortunately, some markings in RL were mirrored (ie RAF tail markings) and some were flipped (ie Luftwaffe tail markings). Due to the need for generic marking objects to suit all nationalities, if you cater for one style, then you break the other. Unless you have a trick up your sleeve (wouldn't surprise me, LOL!), I don't think anything needs to be done with the aircraft marking objects as they work for the majority of countries.

Likewise flags, although as less flags were flipped in RL, it's less noticable. I think you'll find the confusion with difool2's comment is that he has described the flag as "he sees it", rather than in the context of hoist-to-fly. A British Ensign, for example, will look reversed depending on the side viewed, but the Union Jack will always be snuggled nicely in the upper hoist (mirrored). Flags in GWX2 are correctly mirrored (yes, I've now installed it!). Only the most anal of players (even moreso than me) would pick up that certain flags were mirrored when they should be flipped.
