TMF F-14A_82 SF2NA Skin pack
Tested in SF2NA, Full-5 Merged and based on 1977Frenchie and Blackburn32 great skins.
I've started this skin in order to have the correct skin for the VF-14 and VF-32 cruise on USS Independence in 1982-83 ( comprised the crisis in Lebanon) and VF-11 and VF-31 embarked in USS J F Kennedy in 1982 and USS Forrestal in 1986 for The Mirage Factory F-14A_82,to be used in the campaign of SF2NA Expansion Pack and SF2 North Cape
Few decals are modified from the original skins of Blackburn32 and/or 1977Frenchie, but the majority was done by me.I've also added the correct ( more or less) gun gas vents in place of the incorrect NACA ones.
==========
To Install:
As always ,all in the relative folders in your game(s)
As these skins was designed to replace those already done by TMF/1977Frenchie/ Blackburn32, If you will preserve the old ones, please made a back-up of the latters as the folder in this pack share the same folders names and will overwrite all

TMF, Blackburn32 and 1977Frenchie for the F-14A and skins
Me for the decals and the small improvements
If I've forgot someone,please let me know please!
------------
Know issue:
As always I tried to be the more historically precise as possible, but I miss some squadron's Bu.Nos/modexes and some skins have decals for just 10 planes out of the 12 standard for a Navy Squadron...sorry!

SF2NA TMF F-14A_82 VF-41-84 '86 Cruise Skins
Tested in SF2NA, Full-5 Merged and based on Blackburn32 and 1977Frenchie ODS 30th Anniversary great skins.
During the past Winter-Spring lockdown I've tried to create some skins for the The Mirage Factory Tomcats in order to match the correct markings for the Squadrons included in my modded installation of SF2NA ( Exp Pack, Med Crisis and North Cape) finishing to realize "new" skins for other planes, in one case for the whole Air Wing!
These mini Pack comprised the correct markings for the VF-41 and VF-84 1986 cruise aboard USS Nimitz to be used with the The Mirage Factory F-14A_82,to be used in the SF2NA expansion
Almost all the decals was done by me, with very few modified ones from the starting skins.

Know issue:
I tried to be the more historically precise as possible, but I miss some squadron Bu.Nos/modexes and prefered to not add any fictious solutions.
The VF-84 skipper jet was a Hi-viz bird for which I realized a separate skin that can be selected in the Briefing screen dropdown menù, Anyway,I've included also the Lo-Viz markings for this plane ( as other line bird) 'cause my research showed the same Bu.No. with both markings, probably a pre- and during Cruise livery, I left at the single player the choice!

Just a small aesthetic update. Now all skins have embedded one their wings' textures "DO NOT STEP" warning. (The Bangladesh skin had some missing)
I also updated the other YAK-130 skins (the initial launch pack) as well.
Installation
Just copy them all in each aicraft texture folder accordingly, overwriting the old ones.
Skin pack part 1 here:
May 21 2021
YAK-130 skin pack - PART 1
Not having all the skins ready for the pack, I decided to release now a first part (the skins that are ready) and a second part after finishing and polishing the rest of them. This way everybody will be happy.
As I announced in the YAK-130 thread (https://combatace.com/forums/topic/95928-yak-130/?page=3) I also made custom skins for YAK-130 Talisman ECM pod to match the skin colors, so I included the original skins which were available when the plane was released, too.The new skins are 2 for Myanmar, one for Bangladesh and 3 for the Russia.(Black, Blau, VFM_Camo)
INSTALL:
Unzip and copy the OBJECTS into your main SF2XXXX folder.
You will need aircraft ini, dataini and loadout ini files in order to match colors for Talisman ECM pods for each skin.I included them also in each aircraft folder to make things easier.
You will notice that in aircraft ini files , where is more then one skin, I divided the periods of time an aircraft is active for demo purposes. If you are not happy with them you can change them to your discretion to suit your needs afterwards.
Don't forget to add into your WeaponData.ini the data from Add_to_WeaponDataIni.txt file.
