81TFS Spangdahlem AFB A-10 Skins
 
A few days ago I saw some Warthogs from 81TFS @ Northorn Range doing some shooting
training. It was outstanding!!!
So I did these quick skins.
 
These skins are for the stock SF2 Europe A-10A_78!!!!!
 
Thanks to Thirdwire for this great sim & stock A-10 skins!

This is an update for Dave & Sundowners Tornado GR1/GR4 pack available here - http://combatace.com/files/file/12320-tornado-gr1gr4-for-sf2/
 
After the initial release I continued to plug away at the minor issues left over that my OCD wouldn't let go of! The bulk of this update is new and/or improved weapons released recently which include both my work and the stunning weapons that Ravenclaw007 made. The rest is things that are so minor that they would probably go un-noticed by most but they bugged me.
 
The only issue left that I can see is the lack of correct Decal's for the GR4. I'll be honest and say I haven't a clue about decals but here's some info which may help those who are knowledgable about them - The GR4 should have 2 decals, a 3 number "fleet" code on the tail fin (007 for example) and a 2 number/3 digit Tail code on the fuselage behind the flaps (ZA123 for example). The Fleet number and Tail number are not the same so ZA123 may have a Fleet number of 007 etc.

Installation
-----------
 
Simply copy and paste into your Mod folder (usually C:\Users\YOUR NAME\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 etc) and allow it to over-write. Tested on a Nov '11 patched Full Merged and SF2:Europe Only.
 
 
Optional Folder
--------------
 
In here is a modified VIEWLIST.ini which only changes the stock weapons view to a free cam allowing you a full 360' control of the camera so that you can see the weapons better. All other views are stock. If you want to try it then 1st backup your original viewlist.ini and then copy/paste the new one into the Flight Folder.
