- V1.1f Update: Mar. 18, 2014
- Added and adjusted lead computing sights on all aircraft.
- Retexured Cockpit Frame caps.
- Added correct Hangar files to A-10A_76.
- Updated Loadout INI's to fix missing ALQ-131 and CBU's on A-10A_87.

- Updated 2.75in. rocket LOD.
- Updated reduced distance LOD's.
- Added Destroyed Model LOD.
- Seperated Extra Skins into Skin folders that can be dropped into any of the aircraft folders for added
- schemes. Just select the skin and then the squadron you want.
- Skins are independent of the Squadron list, but can be switched back by deleting the trailing decal
- number and changing the decal type, example:
- [Decal005]
- MeshName=Fuselage
- DecalLevel=0 <--------------------------------------------- change to 1
- DecalFacing=LEFT
- FilenameFormat=A-10C/Generic/WING605 <------- delete 605 so it reads A-10C/Generic/WING
- Position=2.40,0.7
- Rotation=0.0
- Scale=0.40
- DecalMaxLOD=3
- Only squadron markings need to be changed if wanted. Also if you choose do do this the decals
- will be dependent on the SquadronList.INI which I've provided, or if you choose to use your own
- SquadronList.INI you will have different Squadron numbers and will need to re-number the decals.
- Advantage is that you can pick in-game any skin including generic skins and pick a squadron and
- the colours and markins will show up. As is shows only certain markings as in numbers or nose teeth.
- Are we confused yet! Another way around this is to just drop a skin that you like into a Squadron folder.
- INSTALL
- Drop the contents of the Install folder into the Game Root folder. eg:
- X:\Users\UserName\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 Israel\
- Overwrite when asked.
