----------------------------
* Version 5 - 06/26/2015
1) New improved F-111 skins! I took the best parts of Slick Cowboy, Lel, Dave's F-111 skins and recomposited them. Then I rebuilt/upgraded the resulting skin from the pitot tube to the exhaust nozzles! I detailed, corrected and tweaked the skins to be the best it can be on CombatACE! These skins were only possible because of the excellent modders who came before me. For that, Thank you Cowboy, Lel, FastCargo and Dave!!!
2) Added many new squadrons to the wings! Pretty sure the the 20th (Upper Heyford) and 48th (Lakenheath) Wings are complete!
3) New improved "Wing", "Squadron" and "Tail Numbers"! I created new hi-rez color decals of the "Stars and Stripes", "Wing" and "Squadron" emblems. The new high rez decals looks much better and gives the planes a more colorful "Glory Days" vibe. The original black stencil decals are still included, but I renamed them and use them for the Desert Storm Aardvark skins (also in this mod).
4) New improved cockpits! Spent alot of time tweaking and improving the cockpit! Added instruments, 3d'ed all the knobs and buttons. Corrected the alignment of some gauges and etc...etc...etc...
5) New improved pilots! I replaced the default pilots with Florian's excellent LOD and reskinned the pilots. They look awesome, I've not seen one better! There a load of custom helmets for the pilots, to choose a different helmet, go to the pilot folder in Objects > Pilots > * folder and pick the one you like better and rename it to Pilotgear1.bmp.
6) Fanatic Modder researched the F-111s and contributed the INI files for the pack. FM research the heck out of the F-111 and the INIs are awesome!
7) New Hangar and Loading Screens...
