SF2 A-37B Dragonfly VNAF Skin Pack 12/7/2025
-For SF2 =ONLY= (Any & All, Full 4/5 Merged Recommended)
Designed for SF2:V!!!
What we have here are 2 new skins for Centurion & Co's. A-37B Dragonfly. These 2 skins represent those as used by the Vietnam Air Force (South). These skins were to have been done by Eole, as the fuselage squadron bands were found ready to use on the template included with the aircraft download. Speaking of which, you can find the full aircraft, if you don't have it already, at the following URL:
https://combatace.com/files/file/16196-usaf-a-37b-pack/
The skins herein represent the following VNAF units:
516th FS, VNAF <68 (blue w/white stars fuselage stripe)
524th FS, VNAF <69 (blue w/red & white chevrons fuselage stripe)
The SF2 'date switch is NOT active for these 2 skins. The dates shown are just for historical clarity.
Almost all markings are decals, excepting the aforementioned fuselage ID bands. Both skins use a pool of 24 serial number decals. I was unable to match individual numbers to specific units, but all these serials WERE used by VNAF Dragonflys. Decal Randomization is TRUE. I've also included an updated Userlist and Data inis, adding the missing VNAF, and adjusting the Exported start and end dates. To be safe, you might wish to backup the original Data ini before installing. Just because, even though nothing else has been changed. No sounds, weapons or pilots are included. It uses all from the original package.
As is always recommended, unzip to a temp folder or your desktop to give easy access to the rest of this readme for it's install instructions.
Please read the Notes section for other useless information, and (hopefully) full credits.
Please also take note of changes in the Standard Disclaimer in the "Legal BS" section at the bottom.
Good Hunting & Happy Landings!
