NOTE:
- This mod replaces existing TW and TMF aircrafts , please remove the existing folders before installing this mod , the existing skins / textures will no longer fit !!!!

NOTE:
- Some texture folder names may seem unusual but it is to create continuity to avoid the bug that stops an aircraft upgrading during a campaign if the texture folder names don't match.
NOTE:
- There were multiple separate F-4E deliveries prior to the 1973 war and due to the variations in the Blocks all sorts of different configurations of ECM antenna, strike camera, slats/ flaps, 'slime' lights,  MIDAS4 etc. Not to mention local upgrades of 'slime' lights, MIDAS4 muzzle mods and slat instillations. Now throw in the Operation Nickle Grass emergency aid ex USAF aircraft during the war! I have rounded them all up into the first four in-game variants below:

cSomers611, nightshadeP/R     test team

a special thanks to Nyghtfall: my original request was for a new fakepilot model similar to the original mod
Nyghtfall came through in spades with a beautiful fake pilot model. The same day he sent that to me however,
Sundowner sent a full up model with all parts including the permanent strike cam in the Sparrow bay. While I
went with Sundowners approach instead, i still highly appreciate Nyghtfall taking the time to assist my original
request.
        Instructions
unzip, unload contents of "2 Mod folder" into mod folder of your choice.

Basic modding skills are required to run this mod.  (copy/paste, mod folder structure, etc.) 
Install:
Copy and paste specific folders into the correct destination.
A fake pilot is required to run this mod.

New model of F-86D as used by far East Asian countries. The set includes the Republic of China Air Force, South Korea Air Force, and the Philippine Air Force.
Do not overwrite any old files that you might downloaded here in CA. Make a backup of old files or rename new ones. But definitely do not mix any files of the old F-86 with this new one.
In the game, you will find it under the prefix * F-86D Sabre Dog
I fixed data files a little - collision points and hitboxes..as the previous ones were quite weird. However, I believe that the flight model could be improved for this aircraft. But this is not my cup of tea or coffee. 
All skins are in 4096x4096 format. You can easily resize as needed.
Decals represent historically correct serial numbers assigned to aircraft during their service in a particular year. Or I believe it does.
 
Credits.
The model is new but some parts are based on Zur's F-86H which I was able to work on previously with Wrench.
Yours truly  -  model rework, mambo jumbo like skins, decals, research...
Weapons Mk4 Might Mouse and AIM-9 by Ravenclaw. 
 
Have fun.
Report bugs. *
Expect the unexpected.
Live long and prosper.
