SF2 Boeing C-97 Cargo & HC-97 ARS Pak 10/16/2015
= For SF2 (Full 4 Merged or Full 5 RECCOMENDED) =
This package contains 2 complete aircraft and skin/decal sets for cargo-carrying C-97s (of all marks, as their differences are negligible), and a version used by Air Rescue Service (later ARRS)
Included are:
C-97G (can be used for any cargo variant -A,B,C,D,E,F,G)
MATS (generic)
MAC (115th ATS (H), 146th ATW, Caifornia ANG)
HC-97G:
303rd Aerospace Rescue & Recovery Squadron
The SF2 date switch is used on the skins for the C-97, switching from MATS to MAC in 1961.
Serial numbers, while generic in nature, ARE for the model depicted (KC-97G). 18 serial decals are included. Decal randomization is true. All markings are decals (excepting the HC-97's wing tips).
Damage texture is in DDS. A template is included in a seperate folder, but was only partly redone for those areas I need to repaint. Skinners are encouraged to improve and expand on it. In the C-97's decals folder, you'll also find the psd to create the "nose lozenge" that carried the last 4 digits of the serial number. This style is/was used on a great number of other MATS/MAC aircraft.
Crew entry door is operated by the Standard Animation Keystroke �, Shift/0 (zero). The rear cargo door & Loading ramps are operated by the standard bomb bay keystroke (Control/o (oh).
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them ....
Happy Landings
