Enjoy!

This is simple skin pack for RA-5C Vigilante over Vietnam.
RA-5C and RVAH squadrons deployed 33 times in SEA during Vietnam War.
But in this pack you have one painting for every year of service during Vietnam War. Diferent units. Some wil apear twice like RVAH-11 and 12. As extra for 1966 there are two skins. So everything is 12 skin sets.
Actualy there is not much of skin differences here. Most work is in the decals section.
 
Pack includes:
 
1965 RVAH-13 USS Kitty Hawk
1966 RVAH-6 USS COnstellation *
1967 RVAH-12 USS Constellation
1968 RVAH-11 USS KItty Hawk
1969 RVAH-9 USS Ranger
1970 RVAH-1 USS Ranger
1971 RVAH-11 USS Constellation
1972 RVAH-7 USS Kitty Hawk
1973 RVAH-5 USS Ranger
1974 RVAH-5 USS Constellation
1975 RVAH-12 USS Enterprise
 
* Here are two paint schemes for one year. First works from January to June second July - December of 1966.
At the beginig all 6 aircrafts of unit were paintet in experimental camo. Later they chenged to original grey over white paint scheme. So here in single mission pack green camo will apear only unitl end of June 1966 and then standard grey/white camo for RVAH-6.
 
All serial numbers are historicaly correct and matched with modex number. (Hope)
If I was not sure or have no information about number/modex it is marked on number.lst file.
During service many RA-5C were lost. My tailnumbers mostly are original unit deployment before any replacemnt was done.
 
All skins are original from Julhem exelent RA-5C Vigilante V3.0.
I just resized skins and converted them into jpgs. Also I repainted some areas near cockpit. (new rescue arrows,danger triangles etc. and some stenciling)
All decals are my work exept tail template for RVAH-5 (NE and red arrow on tailfin - this comes form original Julhelm pack)
As always I was trying to put reference photos of real aircrafts. It is inside of each skin folder.
 
RVAH-6 green camo is my "repaint" of original skin thanks to Julhelms templates.
 
Unit badges are painted on skin. But there are also disabled decal.tga included in decals folder.
 
Enjoy and report bugs.

EXTRAS.
 
I made strobe pod for RA-5C. with experimental flash/strobe effect. Not satissfied full about but it is uploaded. It works as RP so you got only 64 strobe shots.
Effect should be fixed so it will be just quick instant shot.
I was thinkin about creating new proper 400gal fuel tanks for A-5/RA-5. But maybe next time.
 
RA-5C tailcone. - Via fake pilot I've added tailcone. So no need to load/unload empty fuel pack. It will always apear on aircraft. I like it this way.
 
Added Aircraft Data.ini file with correct lines for adding strobe pod and fake pilot tailcone.
If you don't like it - do not use it.
Fixed chaff/flare positions.
 
thanks to Julhelm for templates and RA-5C model.

Scooters! Vol.3 Skinpack for Thirdwire A-4 Skyhawks by Nyghtfall v1.0
=======================================================
 
*** SF2, SF2V required. Tested in full 5-merged installation ***
*** DLC 019 A-4L for 1 Skin ***
 
For this pack I used a somewhat different approach. While playing campaigns, your plane gets upgraded from time to time or the plane changes to a new variant. So I did skins for the upgradepath of some squadrons, that flew in Rolling Thunder Campaign in addition to the ones I already did for the following: VA-153 Blue Tail Flies (2 more in Redux), VA-155 Silver Foxes (completly new) and VA-192 Golden Dragons (2 more in Redux). VA-56 Champions is completely new and included upon special request. And last but not least I did 2 special skins for VMA-142 just for fun and these are included too.
 
This pack contains new skins
- VA-56 Champions, USS Ticonderoga, 9/1965 to 5/1966 for A-4E_65
- VA-56 Champions, USS Enterprise, 11/1966 to 7/1967 for A-4C_65
- VA-56 Champions, USS Enterprise, 1/1968 to 6/1968 for A-4E_65
- VA-153 Blue Tail Flies, USS Coral Sea, 7/1967 to 4/1968 for A-4E_65
- VA-155 Silver Foxes, USS Coral Sea, 12/1964 to 11/1965 for A-4E and A-4E_65
- VA-155 Silver Foxes, USS Constellation, 10/1966 to 12/1966 for A-4E_65
- VA-155 Silver Foxes, USS Constellation, 5/1966 for 9/1966 for A-4E_65 (experimental camouflage)
- VA-155 Silver Foxes, USS Coral Sea, 7/1967 to 4/1968 for A-4E_65
- VA-192 Golden Dragons, USS Bon Homme Richard, 4/1965 to 1/1966 for A-4C and A-4C_65
- VA-192 Golden Dragons, US Ticonderoga, 12/1967 to 8/1968 for A-4F
 
and just for fun:
- VMA-142 Flying Gators, NAS Jacksonville, Florida in their '76 Bicentennial Aniversary scheme for A-4F_74 and A-4L
 
Hangarscreens are included in 1920x1080 resolution as default and 1024x768 as optional.
 

As always, feel free to read the readme and have fun with the skins!

Upgrade for America NorthWest Terrains: 4 Seasons Inclusive Build


 

-for SF/WoV/WoE/WoI and maybe FE?


 

The original America Northwest Terrains; AmerianNW, AmericanNWinter and AmericaNWSpring, were released sometime back in 2003. They are exceedling FUN maps to fly on, as they are full of deep canyons and high mountain ranges. But...with the advent of the 9/08 patch for the entire 3rd Wire series, they can now be combined into ONE terrain, and with a few ini edits, allow for =ALL= 4 season to be present in ONE terrain folder. Seasonal changes are based upon the date a mission is flown, in single mission (month/day - year makes no difference), and probably in campaigns as well
 
This package includes ALL 4 seasons for Major Lee's "America NorthWest" series, combined.This package is designed to TOTALLY REPLACE =ALL= the original terrains, with one single install. Editing has been done to the all the inis, as per the latest patch standards. Included are also my targets and movements enhancements, as seen in a 8/07 upgrade, with some additions.
 
Included are the "Spring", "Summer" (by CA_Stary), "Thaw" (by Doghouse & Deuces), and "Winter" seasons as new subfolders of this rebuilt terrain. A new 'EnvrionmentalSystem.ini', that is terrain specific, was created that raises the cloud deck OFF the mountains. It's also super easy to edit, to allow for lower clouds, if that is your wish. You'll also find regional specific trees (pine) scattered across the landscape. It looks sooo much better with trees!!! :) For those looking for it, YES, there are more than a couple of Easter Eggs, as you've all come to expect.
 
While set in the "What If.." world of the Global Sedition vs the North American Alliance, it's quite usable for just about anything. =EXCEPTING= no anti-ship missions, as there's no large bodies of water for shipping routes. (see my pleas for retiling in the "General Notes and Other Nonsense" section below)
The movements ini has been expanded for more Armed Recon missions, with additional truck routes for both sides. Additonal targets have been added (one new city, airport and train stations for each side), and new Ground Attack routes for CAS missions. I added an oil field to the Alliance side, to give the Sedition forces something extra to bomb, and Alliance forces something to protect. I figure the story line would be "short on resources, the Global Sedititon is trying to capture the Salmon River Oil Fields and Elk Mountains Uranium Mines for their own". New country flags have been added (the 2 GS and Alliance flags are still here!) for NAA alllies - USA and Canada.
 
This has been tested in WoE (my main Laboratory of choice..) As it was originally built for SF, no worries there. WoV should also be no problem. It -should- work in WoI and First Eagles, but you'll still need one of the Original 3 Terrains ™ for the terrain cat reacharound. This, however, has =NOT= been tested. You use it in these games at your own risk.
Vista users should also have no problem with terrain effects, as the latest round of patching has apparently cleared up that problem. And the fact that there's no water on this map.....
 
Included as well is FastCargo's SON-9A "FireCan" AA control radar, and some ini updates for a few of the stock "Red" AAA units, networking them to the FireCan.
 
PLEASE read this entire ReadMe all the way through before installing; there are some issues I've encountered that need some explaining, and this will give you a better understanding of what I've tried to accomplish.
 
Good Hunting & Happy Landings!!!
