Famous Czechoslovak Migs (Mig-21F-13)
 
 
Skins for Mirage factory Mig-21F-13Cz.
 
 
 
Skins are based on Sundowners Mig-21F-13 skins. I made some needed changes for Czechoslovak licensed version.
 
Numbers and emblems are based on plastic models decals (and they are based on real planes of course :-)
 
Skins:
0311 - 1st Slp (Fighter aviation regiment), 1st flight, Planá airbase (near České Budějovice), 1969
0316 - 9th Slp (Fighter aviation regiment), 2nd flight, Bechyně airbase, 1970
0712 - 5th Slp (Fighter aviation regiment), 3rd flight, Plzeň - Líně airbase, 1972
0906 - 5th Slp (Fighter aviation regiment), 3rd flight, Plzeň - Líně airbase, 1972
 
0712 and 0906 are the same skins, just different nums and some different coordinates for nums in Textureset.ini are there.
 
Install is easy. Just take a look into Read me! file, please.
 
 
You will enjoy I hope

Templates for Pasko's F-80 'Shooting Star' and F-94 'Starfire'
 
These are Photoshop (psd) templates I created off the original skin bmps, with redrawn panel lines, rivets, and various and sundry other goodies. All credit goes to the original skin creator, who's name I cannot find having lost the original readmes that came with the aircraft. They are the same size as the original skin maps.
They should be usable for creating skins for the T-33 as well, with some slight modifications, mostly in the nose gun area (as the T-birds sometimes only carried 2 MGs, if any).
 
The template is broken down into various labeled layers to help you figure out what goes where. For those attempting skins for the T-bird, I'd reccomend creating a NEW layer for the section that houses the nose guns (body.bmp) by adding that skin map to this psd as a new layer.
You'll note there is NO "LeftWing.psd", as the right and left wings are mapped identically. After creating the left wing's skin map, all you'll need to do is a "save as" in PhotoShop or any other image viewer, LeftWing.bmp. This will create the new skin map, without all the hassle and HD space taking of having 2 different psds. There is NO difference in the mapping! Do not worry!! That's how I created the skins for the various P/F-80s and F-94s Ive released over the last couple of years!
 
Happy Skinning!

VMA(AW)-242 A-6 Skins by Sundowner
 
This is for Monty CZ's A-6. Just drop into the A-6 folder and fly.
 
Thanks to Sundowner for another great skin.

Pride of the Korean AF by Sundowner.
 
These planes represent various schemes used by the ROKAF.
 
They are their own planes and use stock LOD's from WOE. This package will work in WOE and WOI but the F-4D will need to be ported over to WOI in order to work.
