About This File

A-4E (65) Skyhawk, VA-163 'Saints' Vietnam 1967-1968 Skinpack by Nyghtfall v1.1

===============================================================================

 

*** SF2V required for A-4E_65-model, tested in full 5-merged installation ***

 

The skin represents A-4Es from VA-163 'Saints' betwenn June 1967 and January 1968 aboard the carrier USS Oriskany in Vietnam.

BuNo are correct for this squadron, but unfortunately I couldn't find the correct assignment for all modex to BuNo.

Modex-numbers 305, 307 and 314 are filled with BuNo, that are correct for this squadron, but miss a modex-number.

 

- new Baseskin with highter resolution (2048x2048)

- new Decals

- gray rudder for 301, 305, 306 and 311

- a lot of new maintenance markings (a big thank to Soulfreak for the pattern!)

- corrected nosecone

- updated data.ini is included, which contains the working canopy (SHIFT+0) and landing light (thanks to Wrench).

 

 

Installation

============

1. unzip to a temporary folder

2. copy 'Objects'-folder from the zip to your mods 'Objects'-folder, if asked to overwrite, say 'yes'.

3. enjoy!
