Low Vis and Alternate Skins For SF2:NA F-14A + Also Decals Fixes for Stock Turkeys Also Decals Fixes for St

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

 

Thank you for downloading the Mid- and Low-vis generic skin pack and the corrective decal pack for the Thirdwire F-14A and F-14A_77.for the Thirdwire Productions F-14A_77. This pack was made to provide low and medium visibility markings for all squadrons on the stock squadron list.

 

These decals would not be possible without TK and Thirdwire for creating SF2:NA and in some cases providing some of the artwork here than has been modified to suit the demands of this pack.

 

Further recognition goes to SuperScale International, Fightertown, Aeromaster, Eagle Strike, FCM, Afterburner, and Custom Aeronautical Miniatures for producing model decals that made good reference material, and to Torsten Anft, Peter Davies, Lou Drendel, Paul Gilchrist, Dave Brown, and many others for their published works and photographs.

Requirements: Strike Fighters 2: North Atlantic.

 

 

Installation:

 

1: drop the Objects folder into your Strike Fighters 2 mod folder.

 

2: Enjoy how you will.

 

 

Known Issues:

 

1: VF-111 is missing the shark mouth.

A: Without the .out file to determine what the meshname for the nose is, I have decided to exclude this decal for the time being. I will add it once the .out is available.

 

 

2: The squadron markings don't look any different from one skin to the next.

A: In many cases, squadron markings didn't change for years. Some squadrons went from high-vis to early low-vis with drastic changes while others never altered their tail art. Some of these squadrons came along after the high-vis period was over and didn't so much as change Air Wings for an entire decade or more. If you see a repeat in squadron decals, that's because that's just how it was.

Thank you for downloading the corrective decal pack for the Thirdwire F-14A and F-14A_77. This pack was made to correct inaccurate or missing decals for the US Navy F-14 squadrons included in Strike Fighters 2: North Atlantic.

Requirements: Strike Fighters 2: North Atlantic.

 

 

Installation:

 

1: drop the Objects folder into your Strike Fighters 2 mod folder. Allow to overwrite as neccessary.

 

2: Enjoy how you will.

 

 

Known Issues:

 

1: VF-1 and VF-111 are still missing decals.

A: I know. VF-1 is missing it's fuselage stripe and VF-111 does not have the shark mouth. The VF-1 stripe runs along the forward fuselage and passes through a modex number that is placed noticably lower that the modex in other squadrons. This would have negated the generic qualities of these skins. The VF-111 shark mouth on the nose would require adding a new decal data bloc and experimenting with placement. I may yet add this decal later should modders be given access to the .out files with future patches.

 

1a: Squadron X is still missing decal Y.

A: Probably because they didn't have it during the time period modeled. VF-11 for example didn't have their squadron number on the ventral fins in the early 80's. They had it on the tail, and it's already present in the existing artwork.

 

 

2: A lot of these look like the decals I had already.

A: Yes. That just means that there wasn't any problem with the original decal.
